(Section 3, 3a, 3b and 3c of the Law)  Applicants whose principal place of business is outside of Illinois and who are not required to be licensed by the state in which their principal place of business is located shall not be granted any license, nor shall any license be maintained, if they are in default to that state for any monies due for the use of motor fuel.
