Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

225 ILCS 130/70

(225 ILCS 130/70)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2029)

Sec. 70. Fees; returned checks.

(a) The Department shall set by rule fees for the administration of this
Act, including but not limited to fees for initial and renewal registration and
restoration of a certificate of registration.

(b) A person 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.
The Department shall notify the person 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 person has failed to submit the necessary remittance, the
Department shall automatically terminate the registration or deny the
application
without a hearing. If the person seeks a registration after termination or denial,
he
or she shall apply to the Department for restoration or issuance of the registration

and pay all fees and fines due to the Department. The Department may
establish a fee for the processing of an application for restoration of a registration

to defray the expenses of processing the application.
 The Secretary may waive the fines due under this Section in individual
cases if the Secretary finds that the fines would be unreasonable or
unnecessarily burdensome.

(c) All of the fees and fines collected under this Act shall be deposited
into
the General Professions Dedicated Fund. All moneys in the Fund shall be used by
the Department, as appropriated, for the ordinary and contingent expenses of
the Department.
