Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

225 ILCS 50/22

(225 ILCS 50/22) (from Ch. 111, par. 7422)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)

Sec. 22.

Findings and recommendations of the Board.

At the conclusion of
the
hearing, the hearing officer shall
make findings of fact in such hearing to the Board.  The Board shall
review the findings of fact and present
to the Director a written report of its finding and recommendation as to
whether or not the accused person violated this Act or failed to comply
with the conditions required in this Act or any rule promulgated under this
Act.  The Board shall specify the nature of the violation or failure
to comply and shall make its recommendations to the Director.

The report of findings and recommendation of the Board shall be the basis
for the Department's action with respect to licensees
or the imposition
of any disciplinary action unless the Director determines that the report and
recommendation is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence, in which
case the Director may issue an order in contravention of the report and
recommendation.  The findings are not admissible in evidence
against the person in a criminal prosecution brought for the violation of
this Act, but the hearing and findings are not a bar to a criminal prosecution
brought for violating this Act.
