(a) At any time after the successful completion of a term of probation, suspension, or revocation of a license, the Department may restore the license to the licensee upon written recommendation of the Board unless, after an investigation and a hearing, the Department determines that restoration is not in the public interest. (b) Where circumstances of suspension or revocation so indicate, or on the recommendation of the Board, the Department may require an examination of the licensee before restoring his or her license. (c) No person whose license has been revoked as authorized in this Act may apply for restoration of that license until such time as provided for in the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. (d) A license that has been suspended or revoked shall be considered nonrenewed for purposes of restoration and a licensee restoring his or her license from suspension or revocation must comply with the requirements for restoration as set forth in Section 70 of this Act and any related rules adopted.
