Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

510 ILCS 72/115

    (510 ILCS 72/115)
    Sec. 115. Findings and recommendations. At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer shall present to the Director a written report of its findings and recommendations. The report shall contain a finding of whether or not the accused applicant, agency, or technician violated this Act or failed to comply with the conditions required in this Act. The hearing officer shall specify the nature of the violation or failure to comply, and shall make its recommendations to the Director.
    The report of the findings and recommendations of the hearing officer shall be the basis for the Department's order of refusal or for the granting of certification unless the Director determines that the hearing officer's report is contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence, in which case the Director may issue an order in contravention of the hearing officer's report. The finding is not admissible in evidence against the applicant, agency, or technician 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.
