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 60/25

(225 ILCS 60/25) (from Ch. 111, par. 4400-25)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)

Sec. 25.

The Secretary of the Department may, upon receipt of a written
communication from the Secretary of Human Services, the Director of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Director of
Public Aid), or the Director of Public Health
that continuation of practice of a person licensed under
this Act constitutes an immediate danger to the public, and
after consultation with the Chief Medical Coordinator or
Deputy Medical Coordinator, immediately suspend the license
of such person without a hearing.  In instances in which the
Secretary immediately suspends a license under this Section,
a hearing upon such person's license must be convened by the Medical
 Board within 15 days after such suspension and
completed without appreciable delay.  Such hearing is to be
held to determine whether to recommend to the Secretary that
the person's license be revoked, suspended, placed on
probationary status or reinstated, or whether such person
should be subject to other disciplinary action.  In the
hearing, the written communication and any other evidence
submitted therewith may be introduced as evidence against
such person; provided however, the person, or their
counsel, shall have the opportunity to discredit,  impeach
and submit evidence rebutting such evidence.
