6 The Department may order the examining physician or any
7 member of the multidisciplinary team to provide to the
8 Department any and all records, including business records,
9 that relate to the examination and evaluation, including any
10 supplemental testing performed. The Department may order the

5 Failure of any individual to submit to mental or physical
6 examination and evaluation, or both, when directed, shall
7 result in an automatic suspension, without hearing, until such
8 time as the individual submits to the examination. If the
9 Department finds a certified shorthand reporter or certified
10 voice writer reporter unable to practice because of the
11 reasons set forth in this Section, the Department shall
12 require the certified shorthand reporter or certified voice
13 writer reporter to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by
14 physicians approved or designated by the Department, as a
15 condition for continued, reinstated, or renewed certification.
16 When the Secretary immediately suspends a certificate
17 under this Section, a hearing upon the person's certificate

24 by the State Commission and shall cease all activity otherwise
25 authorized by the license. The State Commission shall
26 expedite, to the greatest extent possible, its consideration

24 of the proceedings of the local liquor control commissioner.
25 No new or additional evidence shall be admitted or considered.
26 The State Commission shall render a decision affirming,

5 of 500,000 or more inhabitants, granting or refusing to grant
6 a license or refusing for more than 30 days to grant a hearing
7 upon a complaint to revoke or suspend a license, the matter of

18 liquor control commissioner. A certified record of the
19 proceedings shall be promptly filed with the license appeal
20 commission by such local liquor control commissioner after
21 notice of the filing of such appeal if the appellant licensee
22 pays for the cost of the transcript and promptly delivers the
23 transcript to the local liquor control commission or its
24 attorney. The review by the license appeal commission shall be
25 limited to the questions:
26 (a) whether the local liquor control commissioner has

8 days after such appeal was heard, the license appeal
9 commission shall render its decision in accordance with the
10 provisions of Section 7-5.
11 In cities, villages and incorporated towns having a
12 population of 500,000 or more inhabitants, appeals from any

14 such city, village or incorporated town. All of the provisions
15 of this Section and Section 7-10 relative to proceedings upon
16 appeals before the State Commission and relative to appeals
17 from the decisions of the State Commission shall apply also to
18 proceedings upon appeals before any license appeal commission

2 herein, the State Commission or the license appeal commission
3 (as the case may be) shall decide that the license has been
4 improperly issued, denied, revoked, suspended or refused to be
5 revoked or suspended or a hearing to revoke or suspend has been

9 A certified copy of the order shall be transmitted to the
10 particular local liquor control commissioner and it shall be
11 the duty of the local liquor control commissioner to take such
12 action as may be necessary to conform with the order.
13 In any trial de novo hearing before the State Commission
14 or the license appeal commission, the licensee shall submit to
15 examination and produce books and records material to the
16 business conducted under the license in like manner as before
17 the local liquor control commissioner, and the failure of the
18 licensee to submit to such an examination or to produce such
19 books and records, or to appear at the hearing on such appeal,
20 shall constitute an admission that he has violated the
21 provisions of this Act. In the event the appeal is from an
22 order of the local liquor control commissioner denying a
23 renewal application, the licensee shall have on deposit with
24 the local liquor control commissioner an amount sufficient to
25 cover the license fee for the renewal period and any bond that
26 may be required.
