    occurred at a facility located in Tazewell County, Illinois. The Board accepts this matter for hearing.
    The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable. The
    assigned hearing officer must set the matter for hearing in accordance with the requirements of the Act
    and the Board's procedural rules. Accordingly, this matter must be set for hearing within 90 days after

    of this matter would result. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.125(a). In any event, it is the responsibility of
    the hearing officer to guide the parties toward prompt resolution or adjudication of this matter, through
    whatever status calls and hearing officer orders he or she determines are necessary and appropriate.
