Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 225 ILCS 110/18

  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
     The Secretary may temporarily suspend the license of a speech-language pathologist, speech-language pathology assistant, or audiologist without a hearing, simultaneous to the institution of proceedings for a hearing under this Act, if the Secretary finds that evidence in his or her possession indicates that a speech-language pathologist’s, speech-language pathology assistant’s, or an audiologist’s continuation in practice would constitute an immediate danger to the public. In the event that the Secretary temporarily suspends the license of a speech-language pathologist, speech-language pathology assistant, or audiologist without a hearing, a hearing by the Board must be held within 15 days after such suspension has occurred and concluded without appreciable delay.
