(35 ILCS 505/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 419)
Sec. 3.
No person shall act as a distributor of motor fuel within this
State without first securing a license to act as a distributor of motor
fuel from the Department. Application for such license shall be made to the
Department upon blanks furnished by it. The application shall be signed
and verified, and shall contain such information as the Department deems
necessary.
A blender shall, in addition to securing a distributor's license, make
application to the Department for a blender's permit, setting forth in the
application such information as the Department deems necessary. The applicant
for a distributor's license shall also file with the Department a bond on a
form to be approved by and with a surety or sureties satisfactory to the
Department conditioned upon such applicant paying to the State of Illinois
all monies becoming due by reason of the sale, export, or use of motor fuel by the
applicant, together with all penalties and interest thereon. The Department
shall fix the penalty of such bond in each case taking into consideration
the amount of motor fuel expected to be sold, distributed, exported, and used by such
applicant and the penalty fixed by the Department shall be such, as in its
opinion, will protect the State of Illinois against failure to pay the
amount hereinafter provided on motor fuel sold, distributed, exported, and used, but
the amount of the penalty fixed by the Department shall not exceed
twice
the monthly amount
that would be collectable as a tax in the event of a sale
on all the motor fuel sold, distributed, exported, and used by the
distributor inclusive of tax-free sales, exports, use, or distribution. Upon receipt of the
application and bond in proper form, the Department shall issue to the
applicant a license to act as a distributor. No person who is in default to
the State for monies due under this Act for the sale, distribution, export, or use
of motor fuel shall receive a license to act
as a distributor.
A license shall not be granted to any person whose principal place
of business is in a state other than Illinois, unless such person is licensed
for motor fuel distribution or export in the state in which the principal place of
business is located
and that such person is not in default to that State for any monies due
for the sale, distribution, export, or use of motor fuel.
