The Director of the 9 Department may, upon receipt of a written communication from 10 the Secretary of Human Services, the Director of Public Aid, 11 or the Director of Public Health that continuation of 12 practice of a person licensed under this Act constitutes an 13 immediate danger to the public, and after consultation with 14 the Chief Medical Coordinator or Deputy Medical Coordinator, 15 immediately suspend the license of such person without a 16 hearing.

In the hearing, the written 25 communication and any other evidence submitted therewith may 26 be introduced as evidence against such person; provided 27 however, the person, or their counsel, shall have the 28 opportunity to discredit, impeach and submit evidence 29 rebutting such evidence. 30 (Source: P.A. 89-507, eff. 7-1-97.)
