§ 15.

Any person affected by a final administrative decision of the Department may have such decision reviewed judicially by the circuit court of the county wherein such person resides, or in the case of a corporation, wherein the registered office is located. If the plaintiff in the review proceeding is not a resident of this state, the venue shall be in Sangamon County. The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all amendments and modifications thereof, and the rules adopted pursuant thereto, shall apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final administrative decisions of the Department hereunder. The term "administrative decision" is defined as in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Department shall not be required to certify the record of the proceeding unless the plaintiff in the review proceedings has purchased a copy from the certified shorthand reporter who prepared the record. Exhibits shall be certified without cost. (Source: P.A. 82-783.)
