 (from Ch. 127, par. 1010-65)Sec. 10-65. Licenses.(a) When any licensing is required by law to be preceded by notice and  an opportunity for a hearing, the provisions of this Act concerning  contested cases shall apply.(b) When a licensee has made timely and sufficient application for  the renewal of a license or a new license with reference to any activity  of a continuing nature, the existing license shall continue in full  force and effect until the final agency decision on the application has  been made unless a later date is fixed by order of a reviewing court.(c) An application for a new license  shall include the applicant's social security number, which shall be retained in the agency's records pertaining to the license. As soon as practical, an agency must assign a customer identification number to each applicant for a license that the applicant may use in place of his or her social security number on the application for a license or renewal of a license.  A licensee's social security number shall not appear on the face of his or her license. Each agency shall require  the licensee to certify on the  application form, under penalty of perjury, that he or she is not more than  30 days delinquent in complying with a child support order.  Every  application shall state that failure to so certify shall result in  disciplinary action, and that making a false statement may subject  the licensee  to contempt of court.  The agency shall notify each applicant or licensee  who  acknowledges a delinquency or who, contrary to his or her certification, is  found to be delinquent or who after receiving notice, fails to comply with a  subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or a child support proceeding,  that the agency intends to take disciplinary  action.  Accordingly, the agency shall provide written notice of the facts  or conduct upon which the agency will rely to support its proposed action  and the applicant or licensee shall be given an opportunity for a hearing  in accordance  with the provisions of the Act concerning contested cases.  Any delinquency  in complying with a child support order can be remedied by arranging for  payment of past due and current support.  Any failure to comply with a  subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support proceeding can be  remedied by complying with the subpoena or warrant.  Upon a final finding of  delinquency or failure to comply with a subpoena or warrant, the agency  shall suspend, revoke, or refuse to issue or renew the license.  In cases in which the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) has previously determined that  an applicant or a  licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the  payment  of child support and has subsequently certified the delinquency to the  licensing agency,  and in cases in which a court has previously determined that an applicant or  licensee has  been in violation of the Non-Support Punishment Act  for more than 60 days,  the licensing agency shall refuse to issue or  renew or shall  revoke or suspend that person's license based solely upon the certification of  delinquency made  by  the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly  Department of Public Aid) or the certification of violation made by the  court.  Further process, hearings, or  redetermination of the delinquency or violation by the  licensing agency shall not be required.   The licensing agency may issue or  renew a license if the licensee has arranged for payment of  past and current child support obligations in a manner satisfactory to  the  Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly Department of Public Aid) or the court.  The licensing agency may impose  conditions,  restrictions, or disciplinary action upon that license.(d) Except as provided in subsection (c), no agency shall revoke,  suspend, annul, withdraw, amend  materially, or refuse to renew any valid license without first giving  written notice to the licensee of the facts or conduct upon which the  agency will rely to support its proposed action and an opportunity for  a hearing in accordance with the provisions of this Act concerning  contested cases.  At the hearing, the licensee shall have the right  to show compliance with all lawful requirements for the retention,  continuation, or renewal of the license.  If, however, the agency finds  that the public interest, safety, or welfare imperatively requires  emergency action, and if the agency incorporates a finding to that  effect in its order, summary suspension of a license may be ordered  pending proceedings for revocation or other action.  Those proceedings  shall be promptly instituted and determined.(e) Any application for renewal of a license that contains  required and relevant information, data, material, or circumstances that  were not contained in an application for the existing license shall be  subject to the provisions of subsection (a).
