At the conclusion of the hearing the Board shall present to the Secretary 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 person violated this Act or failed to comply with the conditions required in this Act. The Board shall specify the nature of the violation or failure to comply, and shall make its recommendations to the Secretary.
     The report of findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations of the Board shall be the basis for the Department’s order refusing to issue, restore, or renew a license, or otherwise disciplining a licensee. If the Secretary disagrees with the report of the Board, the Secretary may issue an order in contravention of the Board report. The finding is not admissible in evidence against the person 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.
