Administrative hearings before the IDOI Director on license discipline matters are conducted under which Illinois statutory framework?

Why this is the answer

The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, 5 ILCS 100/, governs the conduct of contested cases before state administrative agencies, including IDOI. The APA provides notice, hearing, evidentiary, and decision rules that IDOI must follow for license discipline, cease and desist, and penalty proceedings. Final decisions are reviewable in the circuit court under the Administrative Review Law. The Civil Procedure Act, Federal Rules, and Open Meetings Act do not govern IDOI contested-case hearings.
