Ill. Admin. Code tit. 50, § 9090.20 - Disciplining of Agents: Procedure
a)
Whenever the Commission finds that an insurer, self-insurer, claims service or
other association, or an agent of one of these entities, is practicing a policy
of unfairness toward the claimant in the handling and processing of claims
under the Workers' Compensation or Occupational Diseases Act, the Commission
may issue a Rule to Show Cause why the carrier or agent should not be suspended
from writing insurance or processing workers' compensation claims within the
State.
b) The recipient of the Rule
to Show Cause shall be entitled to be informed of the charges against it and to
have an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the charges. The recipient shall
have the right to be present, to call witnesses, and to provide other pertinent
evidence.
c) After a full hearing,
the Commission may invoke appropriate sanctions against the recipient as
authorized by statute, specifically including citation (i.e., submission) to
the Attorney General for action on any violation of the law or certification to
the Director of Insurance for discipline of license.
