Section 130.745  Revocation of Certificate

a)         The Department, after notice and hearing as provided under Section 2505-380 of the Civil Administrative Code [20 ILCS 2505/2505-380] and Section 2b of the Act, shall revoke the certificate of registration (including all sub-certificates of registration, if any, issued thereunder) of any person who fails to file a return, or to pay the tax, fee, penalty, or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, fee, penalty, or interest, as required by the Act or any other Act administered by the Department, or who violates any of the provisions of the Act. Before revocation of a certificate of registration the Department shall, within 90 days after non-compliance and at least 7 days prior to the date of the hearing, give the person so accused notice in writing of the charge against them, and on the date designated shall conduct a hearing upon this matter.  The lapse of such 90-day period shall not preclude the Department from conducting revocation proceedings at a later date if necessary.

b)         Upon revocation of the certificate of registration (including all sub-certificates of registration, if any, issued under the certificate), the Department shall post notice at the place or places of business, at the front entrance and on the front windows, to which the revoked certificate applied, stating that the certificate of registration has been revoked and that it is unlawful for any person to engage in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail in this State without a certificate of registration issued by the Department (see Illustration B).

c)         The Department shall notify the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Department of Public Health upon revocation of, or a decision not to renew, a certificate of registration issued to a medical cannabis dispensing organization operated under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act or issued to a dispensing organization under the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act.
