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 410/3B-2

(225 ILCS 410/3B-2) (from Ch. 111, par. 1703B-2)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2026)

Sec. 3B-2.

Investigations by Department upon its own motion or upon
 complaint; opportunity for corrections.

The Department may upon
its own motion and shall upon the complaint in writing of any
person setting forth facts which if proved would constitute grounds for
refusal or revocation under this Act, investigate the actions of any
applicant or any person or persons holding or claiming
to hold a license.

Any student or employee of a school approved by this Act who believes he
has been aggrieved by a violation of this Act shall have the right to file
a written complaint within one year of the alleged violation.  The Department
shall acknowledge receipt of such written complaint, commence an investigation
of the alleged violation, and forward to the Attorney General and any
appropriate State's Attorney's office copies of complaints as required by
Section 3B-3.  The Department shall inform the chief operating officer
of the school cited in the complaint of the nature or substance of the complaint and afford the school an opportunity to either resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of the complainant or submit a written response to the Department.

However, before proceeding to a hearing on the question of whether a
license shall be refused or revoked, the Department may issue a letter
granting the school in question 30 days to correct the deficiency or
deficiencies.  The letter shall enumerate the deficiencies and state the action
on the part of the school that will remediate the deficiency or
deficiencies.  During the time designated to remedy deficiencies the Department
may order the school to cease and desist from all marketing and student
enrollment activities.
