(225 ILCS 51/65)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 65. Fees; returned checks. An entity who delivers a check or other payment to the
Department that is returned to the Department unpaid by the
financial institution upon which it is drawn shall pay to the
Department, in addition to the amount already owed to the
Department, a fine of $50. The fines imposed by this Section
are in addition to any other discipline provided under this Act
for unlicensed practice or practice on a nonrenewed license. The
Department shall notify the entity that fees and fines
shall be paid to the Department by certified check or money order
within 30 calendar days of the notification. If, after the
expiration of 30 days from the date of the notification, the
entity has failed to submit the necessary remittance, the
Department shall automatically terminate the license
or deny the application without a hearing. If
the entity seeks a license after termination or denial,
the entity shall apply to the Department for restoration or
issuance of the license and pay all fees and fines
owed to the Department. The Department may establish a fee for
the processing of an application for restoration of a license
to pay all expenses of processing that application.
The Secretary
may waive the fines due under this Section in
individual cases where the Secretary
finds that the fines would be
unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome.
