On June 27,

The final determination concerns R.

This matter is accepted for hearing.

decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101. 105).
The
Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct
hearings.
The Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue
appropriate directions to the assigned hearing officer consistent
with this order.

date in conformance with the schedule above.
The hearing

proceeding as much as possible.
The Board notes that Board rules
