What is conducted by the IDFPR to assess the potential suspension or revocation of a license?

1. A public hearing

2. An internal audit

3. An investigation

4. A written review

The correct answer is: An investigation

The process conducted by the IDFPR (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation) to assess the potential suspension or revocation of a license involves conducting an investigation. This investigative process is essential to gather evidence and evaluate any allegations of misconduct or violations of regulations by the licensee. During an investigation, the IDFPR will look into various aspects of the licensee's actions, review relevant documentation, interview witnesses, and assess compliance with standards and rules that govern the specific profession or trade. The findings from this investigation help determine whether there are grounds for disciplinary action, such as suspension or revocation of the license. This step is fundamental in ensuring due process, as it allows for a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding any potential infractions before any sanctions are imposed. Other options such as a public hearing, internal audit, or written review may play a role in the overall regulatory process, but the initial step to determine the need for a hearing or other actions is the investigation itself.
