(225 ILCS 100/31) (from Ch. 111, par. 4831)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 31. Notice of hearing - Findings and recommendations. At the
conclusion of the hearing the Board shall present to the Secretary
a written report of its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and
recommendations. The report shall contain a finding whether or not the
accused person violated this Act or failed to comply with the conditions
required in this Act. The Board shall specify the nature of the violation
or failure to comply, and shall make its recommendations to the Secretary.
The report of findings of fact, conclusions of law and recommendations of
the Board shall be the basis for the Department's order or refusal or for
the granting of a license. If the Secretary disagrees in any regard with
the report of the Board, the Secretary may issue an order in contravention
thereof. The Secretary shall provide a written report to the Board on any
deviation, and shall specify with particularity the reasons for such action
in the final order. The finding is not admissible in evidence against the
person in a criminal prosecution brought for the violation of this Act, but
the hearing and finding are not a bar to a criminal prosecution brought for
the violation of this Act.
