(a) The Board or hearing officer appointed by the Secretary shall hear evidence in support of the formal charges and evidence produced by the applicant, licensee, or registrant. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board or hearing officer shall present to the Secretary a written report of its findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations. If the Board fails to present its report, the applicant, licensee, or registrant may request in writing a direct appeal to the Secretary, in which case the Secretary may issue an order based upon the report of the hearing officer and the record of the proceedings or issue an order remanding the matter back to the hearing officer for additional proceedings in accordance with the order.
(b) At the conclusion of the hearing, a copy of the Board or hearing officer’s report shall be served upon the applicant, licensee, or registrant, either personally or as provided in this Act for the service of the notice of hearing. Within 20 calendar days after such service, the applicant, licensee, or registrant may present to the Department a motion, in writing, for a rehearing which shall specify the particular grounds for rehearing. The Department may respond to the motion for rehearing within 20 calendar days after its service on the Department. If no motion for rehearing is filed, then upon the expiration of the time specified for filing such a motion, or upon denial of a motion for rehearing, the Secretary may enter an order in accordance with the recommendations of the Board or hearing officer. If the applicant, licensee, or registrant orders from the reporting service and pays for a transcript of the record within the time for filing a motion for rehearing, the 20 calendar day period within which a motion may be filed shall commence upon delivery of the transcript to the applicant, licensee, or registrant.
(c) If the Secretary disagrees in any regard with the report of the Board, the Secretary may issue an order contrary to the report.
(d) Whenever the Secretary is not satisfied that substantial justice has been done, the Secretary may order a hearing by another hearing officer.
(e) At any point in any investigation or disciplinary proceeding provided for in this Act, both parties may agree to a negotiated consent order. The consent order shall be final upon signature of the Secretary.
(b) At the conclusion of the hearing, a copy of the Board or hearing officer’s report shall be served upon the applicant, licensee, or registrant, either personally or as provided in this Act for the service of the notice of hearing.
