Illinois Statutes Chapter 105. Schools § 426/75.5. Operating without a permit; cease and desist order

§ 75.5. Operating without a permit; cease and desist order. The Board may issue a cease and desist order to any school operating without the required permit of approval and may impose a civil penalty for such a violation. Each day's violation shall constitute a separate offense. The penalty for such a violation shall be a fee or other conditions as established by rule. A penalty fee may not exceed $10,000 per violation. The Attorney General may bring an action in circuit court to enforce the collection of the penalty fee.

The cease and desist order shall be issued to the school, shall contain the school's name and address and a brief factual statement, and shall identify this Act and the statutory citations of this Act allegedly violated and the penalty, if any, imposed. The cease and desist order must clearly state that the school may choose to request a hearing. If the school does not request a hearing with the Board within 30 days after the cease and desist order is served, then the cease and desist order shall become final and not subject to appeal notwithstanding anything to the contrary under Section 85 of this Act.
