(225 ILCS 203/55)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)

Sec. 55. Insufficient funds checks. Any person who on 2 occasions issues or delivers a check or other order to the State Fire Marshal that is not honored by the financial institution upon which it is drawn because of insufficient funds on account, shall pay to the State Fire Marshal, in addition to the amount owing upon the check or other order, a fee of $50. If the check or other order was issued or delivered in payment of a renewal fee and the licensee whose license has lapsed continues to practice without paying the renewal fee and the $50 fee required under this Section, an additional fee of $100 shall be imposed for practicing without a current license.

Within 30 days after the discovery by the State Fire Marshal that the individual person or distributor is acting as a boiler and pressure vessel repairer without a current license, the State Fire Marshal shall notify the licensee that his or her license has lapsed and the amount due to the State Fire Marshal including the lapsed renewal fee and all other fees required by this Section. If after the expiration of 30 days from the date of notification, the licensee whose license has lapsed seeks a current license, he or she shall thereafter apply to the State Fire Marshal for reinstatement of the license and pay all fees due to the State Fire Marshal. The Board may establish a fee for the processing of an application for reinstatement of a license which allows the State Fire Marshal to pay all costs and expenses incident to processing the application. The State Fire Marshal may waive the fees due under this Section in individual cases where he or she finds that in the particular case the fees would be unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome.
