Section 432.190 - Denial, Suspension, or Revocation of Licenses; Criminal Sanctions

a) The Department will deny the application of any person or organization which does not satisfy all eligibility requirements for the license for which application is made, or which is ineligible for a license under Section 432.150.

b) The Department will suspend the license of any person or organization which, while its license is in effect, becomes ineligible for any reason. The suspension will remain in force until the person or organization regains eligibility.

c) The Department will issue a warning to, suspend, or revoke the license of any person or organization violating the Act or this Part.

1) Suspensions and revocations imposed under this subsection will range in duration from one day to one year. The choice and duration of sanctions will be made on a case by case basis, and will be based on the licensee's history of compliance; the number, seriousness, and duration of violations; the cooperation extended to the Department by licensees in discontinuing and correcting violations; and the sanctions imposed on others by the Department under similar circumstances.

2) A suspension or revocation is effective immediately upon receipt by the licensee of the notice of suspension or revocation, or five days after the Department mails the notice, whichever occurs first.

d) Notification of denial, warning, suspension, or revocation; requests for hearing:

1) The Department will send notices of denial, warning, suspension, or revocation by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the applicant or licensee at the mailing address stated on the applicant's or licensee's most recent license application. All such notices will include a statement of the reasons for the Department's action.

2) An applicant or licensee may request a hearing to contest the Department's action pursuant to 86 Ill. Adm. Code 200. The request shall be in writing, and must be received by the Department within 20 days after the date the Department mailed the notice of its action to the applicant or licensee.

e) Any person who violates the Act, or any person who files a fraudulent return under the Act, or any person who willfully violates this Part, or any officer or agent of a corporation licensed under the Act who signs a fraudulent return filed on behalf of such corporation is guilty of a class A misdemeanor (Section 7 of the Act).
