At the conclusion of the hearing the Board shall present to the Secretary a written report of its findings and recommendations. The report shall contain a finding of whether or not the accused entity 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 recommendation of the Board shall be the basis for the Department’s order for refusing to issue, restore, or renew a license, or otherwise disciplining a licensee, or for the granting of a license. If the Secretary disagrees with the report, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations of the Board, the Secretary may issue an order in contravention of the Board’s recommendations. The finding is not admissible in evidence against the entity 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.
