(225 ILCS 729/45)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)

Sec. 45. Issuance of license; renewal.

(a) The State Fire Marshal shall, upon the applicant's satisfactory completion of the requirements authorized under this Act, and upon receipt of the requisite fees, issue the appropriate license showing the name and business location of the licensee and the dates of issuance and expiration.

(b) Each licensee may apply for renewal of his or her license upon payment of the requisite fee. The expiration date and renewal period for each license issued under this Act shall be set by rule. Failure to renew by the expiration date shall cause the license to lapse. A lapsed license may not be reinstated until an application is filed, the renewal fee is paid, and a $50 reinstatement fee is paid. The renewal and reinstatement fees shall be waived for persons who did not renew while on active duty in the military and who file for renewal or restoration within one year after discharge from the active duty service.

(c) All fees paid pursuant to this Act are non-refundable. This shall not preclude the State Fire Marshal from refunding accidental overpayment of fees.
