1 |
| AN ACT concerning government.
|
2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is |
5 |
| amended by changing
Section 10-65 as follows:
|
6 |
| (5 ILCS 100/10-65) (from Ch. 127, par. 1010-65)
|
7 |
| Sec. 10-65. Licenses.
|
8 |
| (a) When any licensing is required by law to be preceded by |
9 |
| notice and
an opportunity for a hearing, the provisions of this |
10 |
| Act concerning
contested cases shall apply.
|
11 |
| (b) When a licensee has made timely and sufficient |
12 |
| application for
the renewal of a license or a new license with |
13 |
| reference to any activity
of a continuing nature, the existing |
14 |
| license shall continue in full
force and effect until the final |
15 |
| agency decision on the application has
been made unless a later |
16 |
| date is fixed by order of a reviewing court.
|
17 |
| (c) Except as provided in Section 1-27 of the Department of |
18 |
| Natural
Resources Act, an application for the renewal of a |
19 |
| license or a new license
shall include the applicant's social |
20 |
| security number. Each agency shall require
the licensee to |
21 |
| certify on the
application form, under penalty of perjury, that |
22 |
| he or she is not more than
30 days delinquent in complying with |
23 |
| a child support order. Every
application shall state that |
24 |
| failure to so certify shall result in
disciplinary action, and |
25 |
| that making a false statement may subject
the licensee
to |
26 |
| contempt of court. The agency shall notify each applicant or |
27 |
| licensee
who
acknowledges a delinquency or who, contrary to his |
28 |
| or her certification, is
found to be delinquent or who after |
29 |
| receiving notice, fails to comply with a
subpoena or warrant |
30 |
| relating to a paternity or a child support proceeding,
that the |
31 |
| agency intends to take disciplinary
action. Accordingly, the |
32 |
| agency shall provide written notice of the facts
or conduct |
|
|
|
SB0123 Enrolled |

LRB094 06288 JAM 36361 b |
|
|
1 |
| upon which the agency will rely to support its proposed action
|
2 |
| and the applicant or licensee shall be given an opportunity for |
3 |
| a hearing
in accordance
with the provisions of the Act |
4 |
| concerning contested cases. Any delinquency
in complying with a |
5 |
| child support order can be remedied by arranging for
payment of |
6 |
| past due and current support. Any failure to comply with a
|
7 |
| subpoena or warrant relating to a paternity or child support |
8 |
| proceeding can be
remedied by complying with the subpoena or |
9 |
| warrant. Upon a final finding of
delinquency or failure to |
10 |
| comply with a subpoena or warrant, the agency
shall suspend, |
11 |
| revoke, or refuse to issue or renew the license.
In cases in |
12 |
| which the Department of Public Aid has previously determined |
13 |
| that
an applicant or a
licensee is more than 30 days delinquent |
14 |
| in the
payment
of child support and has subsequently certified |
15 |
| the delinquency to the
licensing agency,
and in cases in which |
16 |
| a court has previously determined that an applicant or
licensee |
17 |
| has
been in violation of the Non-Support Punishment Act
for |
18 |
| more than 60 days,
the licensing agency shall refuse to issue |
19 |
| or
renew or shall
revoke or suspend that person's license based |
20 |
| solely upon the certification of
delinquency made
by
the |
21 |
| Department of Public Aid or the certification of violation made |
22 |
| by the
court. Further process, hearings, or
redetermination of |
23 |
| the delinquency or violation by the
licensing agency shall not |
24 |
| be required. The licensing agency may issue or
renew a license |
25 |
| if the licensee has arranged for payment of
past and current |
26 |
| child support obligations in a manner satisfactory to
the
|
27 |
| Department of Public Aid or the court. The licensing agency may |
28 |
| impose
conditions,
restrictions, or disciplinary action upon |
29 |
| that license.
|
30 |
| (d) Except as provided in subsection (c), no agency shall |
31 |
| revoke,
suspend, annul, withdraw, amend
materially, or refuse |
32 |
| to renew any valid license without first giving
written notice |
33 |
| to the licensee of the facts or conduct upon which the
agency |
34 |
| will rely to support its proposed action and an opportunity for
|
35 |
| a hearing in accordance with the provisions of this Act |
36 |
| concerning
contested cases. At the hearing, the licensee shall |
|
|
|

|
|
1 |
| have the right
to show compliance with all lawful requirements |
2 |
| for the retention,
continuation, or renewal of the license. If, |
3 |
| however, the agency finds
that the public interest, safety, or |
4 |
| welfare imperatively requires
emergency action, and if the |
5 |
| agency incorporates a finding to that
effect in its order, |
6 |
| summary suspension of a license may be ordered
pending |
7 |
| proceedings for revocation or other action. Those proceedings
|
8 |
| shall be promptly instituted and determined.
|
9 |
| (e) Any application for renewal of a license that contains
|
10 |
| required and relevant information, data, material, or |
11 |
| circumstances that
were not contained in an application for the |
12 |
| existing license shall be
subject to the provisions of |
13 |
| subsection (a).

|
15 |
| Section 10. The Department of Natural Resources Act is |
16 |
| amended by adding
Section 1-17 as follows:
|
17 |
| (20 ILCS 801/1-17 new)
|
18 |
| Sec. 1-17. Licenses; privacy protection.
|
19 |
| (a) For purposes of this Section, "license" means a license |
20 |
| required under
Article 3 of the Wildlife Code or under Article |
21 |
| 20 of the Fish and Aquatic Life
Code.
|
22 |
| (b) As soon as practicable, the Department must assign a |
23 |
| customer
identification number to each
applicant for a license. |
24 |
| After the applicant has been assigned a customer
identification |
25 |
| number, the applicant may use that customer identification
|
26 |
| number in place of his or her social security number on any |
27 |
| subsequent
application for a license. The Department must keep |
28 |
| a record of the social
security number of each applicant. The |
29 |
| Department shall notify the applicant
that his or her social |
30 |
| security number is kept on file with the Department.
|
31 |
| (c) A licensee's social security number shall not appear on |
32 |
| the face of his
or her license.
