        (1.5) A licensee who commits a Type "A" violation as

        (2.5) A licensee who commits 8 or more Type "C"
    
violations as defined in Section 1-132 in a single survey shall be assessed a fine of up to $250 per violation. A facility licensed to provide care to fewer than 100 residents, but no less than 17 residents, that commits 8 or more Type "C" violations in a single survey, shall be assessed a fine of up to $200 per violation. A facility licensed to provide care to fewer than 17 residents, that commits 8 or more Type "C" violations in a single survey, shall be assessed a fine of up to $175 per violation.
        (3) A licensee who commits a Type "AA" or Type "A"
    
violation as defined in Section 1-128.5 or 1-129 which continues beyond the time specified in paragraph (a) of Section 3-303 which is cited as a repeat violation shall have its license revoked and shall be assessed a fine of 3 times the fine computed under subsection (1).
        (4) A licensee who fails to satisfactorily comply
    
with an accepted plan of correction for a Type "B" violation or an administrative warning issued pursuant to Sections 3-401 through 3-413 or the rules promulgated thereunder shall be automatically issued a conditional license for a period of not less than 6 months. A second or subsequent acceptable plan of correction shall be filed. A fine shall be assessed in accordance with subsection (2) when cited for the repeat violation. This fine shall be computed for all days of the violation, including the duration of the first plan of correction compliance time.
        (5) (Blank).
        (6) When the Department finds that a provision of
    
Article II has been violated with regard to a particular resident, the Department shall issue an order requiring the facility to reimburse the resident for injuries incurred, or $100, whichever is greater. In the case of a violation involving any action other than theft of money belonging to a resident, reimbursement shall be ordered only if a provision of Article II has been violated with regard to that or any other resident of the facility within the 2 years immediately preceding the violation in question.
        (7) For purposes of assessing fines under this
    
Section, a repeat violation shall be a violation which has been cited during one inspection of the facility for which an accepted plan of correction was not complied with or a new citation of the same rule if the licensee is not substantially addressing the issue routinely throughout the facility.
        (8) If an occurrence results in more than one type of
    
violation as defined in this Act (that is, a Type "AA", Type "A", Type "B", or Type "C" violation), then the maximum fine that may be assessed for that occurrence is the maximum fine that may be assessed for the most serious type of violation charged. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a Type "AA" violation is the most serious type of violation that may be charged, followed by a Type "A", Type "B", or Type "C" violation, in that order.
        (9) If any facility willfully makes a misstatement of
    
fact to the Department or willfully fails to make a required notification to the Department and that misstatement or failure delays the start of a survey or impedes a survey, then it will constitute a Type "B" violation. The minimum and maximum fines that may be assessed pursuant to this subsection (9) shall be 3 times those otherwise specified for any facility.
        (10) If the Department finds that a facility has
    
violated a provision of the Illinois Administrative Code that has a high-risk designation or that a facility has violated the same provision of the Illinois Administrative Code 3 or more times in the previous 12 months, then the Department may assess a fine of up to 2 times the maximum fine otherwise allowed.
