related to the examination and evaluation shall be excluded by
reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to
communication between the licensee or applicant and the
examining physician or any member of the multidisciplinary
team. No authorization is necessary from the licensee or
applicant ordered to undergo an evaluation and examination for
the examining physician or any member of the multidisciplinary
team to provide information, reports, records, or other
documents or to provide any testimony regarding the examination
and evaluation. The individual to be examined may have, at his
or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice

HB0532 Enrolled - 17 - LRB098 03349 MGM 33364 b

examination and evaluation, or both, when directed, shall
result in an automatic suspension without hearing, until such
time as the individual submits to the examination. If the
Department finds a licensee unable to practice because of the
reasons set forth in this Section, the Department shall require
the licensee to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by
physicians approved or designated by the Department as a
condition for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to
practice.

this Section, a hearing upon the person's license must be
convened by the Department within 15 days after the suspension

(f) In cases where the Department of Healthcare and Family
Services has previously determined a licensee or a potential
licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of
child support and has subsequently certified the delinquency to
the Department, the Department may refuse to issue or renew or
may revoke or suspend that person's license or may take other
disciplinary action against that person based solely upon the
certification of delinquency made by the Department of
Healthcare and Family Services in accordance with item (5) of
subsection (a) of Section 2105-15 of the Department of
Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois.
(g) All fines or costs imposed under this Section shall be
paid within 60 days after the effective date of the order
imposing the fine or costs or in accordance with the terms set

Department may require that individual to submit to care,
counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or designated
by the Department, as a condition, term, or restriction for

a complaint to immediately suspend, revoke, or otherwise
discipline the license of the individual.

reinstated, renewed, disciplined or supervised subject to such
terms, conditions or restrictions, and who fails to comply with
such terms, conditions or restrictions, shall be referred to
the Director for a determination as to whether the person shall
have his or her license suspended immediately, pending a
hearing by the Department.

person's license under this Section, a hearing on that person's
license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after
the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The
Department shall have the authority to review the subject
person's record of treatment and counseling regarding the
impairment, to the extent permitted by applicable federal
statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of
medical records.
A person licensed under this Act and affected under this
Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the

Sec. 110. Findings and recommendations. At the conclusion
of the hearing, the hearing officer shall present to the
Secretary Director a written report of its findings of fact,
conclusions of law, and recommendations. The report shall
contain a finding of whether or not the accused applicant or
licensee 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 Secretary Director.
The report of the findings and recommendations of the
hearing officer shall be the basis for the Department's order
for refusing to issue, restore, or renew a license, or
otherwise disciplining a licensee if of refusal or for the
granting of licensure unless the Secretary Director determines
that the hearing officer's report is contrary to the manifest
weight of the evidence, in which case the Secretary Director
may issue an order in contravention of the hearing officer's
report. The finding is not admissible in evidence against the
applicant or licensee 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.
