(225 ILCS 407/20-95)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)
Sec. 20-95. Returned checks and dishonored credit card charges; fine. A person who: (i) 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; or (ii) presents a credit or debit card for payment that is invalid or expired or against which charges by the Department are declined or dishonored, shall pay
to the Department, in addition to the amount already owed to the Department, a fee of $50. The Department shall
notify the person that the check has been returned and that the person
shall pay to the Department by
certified check or money order the amount of the returned check plus the $50
fee within 30 calendar
days after the date of the notification. If, after the expiration of 30
calendar days of the notification,
the person has failed to submit the necessary remittance, the Department shall
automatically terminate the
license or deny the application without a hearing. If, after termination or
denial, the person seeks
a license, the applicant or licensee shall petition the Department for restoration or issuance of the license and may be
subject to additional
discipline or fines. 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.
