1 Where any of the care funds of a licensee are held by an
2 independent trustee, the report filed by the licensee shall
3 contain a certificate signed by the trustee of the care funds
4 of such licensee certifying to the truthfulness of the
5 statements in the report as to (1) the total amount of
6 principal of the care funds held by the trustee, (2) the
7 securities in which such care funds are invested and the cash
8 on hand as of the date of the report and (3) the income
9 received from such care funds during the preceding calendar
10 year, or fiscal year, as the case may be.
11 Such report shall be filed by such licensee on or before
12 March 15 of each calendar year, in the office of the
13 Comptroller. If the fiscal year of such licensee is other
14 than on a calendar year basis, then such licensee shall file
15 the report required by this Section within 2 1/2 months of
16 the end of its fiscal year. The Comptroller shall for good
17 cause shown grant an extension for the filing of the annual
18 report upon the written request of the licensee. Such
19 extension shall not exceed 60 days. If a licensee fails to
20 submit an annual report to the Comptroller within the time
21 specified in this Section, the Comptroller shall impose upon
22 the licensee a penalty of $5 for each and every day the
23 licensee remains delinquent in submitting the annual report
24 if the period of delinquency is 30 days or less. If the
25 period of delinquency is more than 30 days, the Comptroller
26 shall impose upon the licensee a penalty of $5 for each of
27 the first 30 days as described in the preceding sentence and,
28 in addition, a penalty of $25 for each and every day in
29 excess of 30 days that the licensee remains delinquent in
30 submitting the annual report.
31 Such report shall be made under oath and shall be in the
32 form furnished by the Comptroller. Each report shall be
33 accompanied by a check or money order in the amount of $10,
34 payable to: Comptroller, State of Illinois.

1 If any annual report shows that the amount of the care
2 funds held in trust at the end of the preceding calendar year
3 or fiscal year, as the case may be, has increased in amount
4 over that shown by the next preceding report, then the
5 fidelity bond theretofore filed shall be increased to the
6 amount required by Section 9 of this Act. Such increased
7 fidelity bond shall accompany the report and no report shall
8 be accepted by the Comptroller unless accompanied by such
9 bond, except where the filing of a bond is excused by Section
10 18 of this Act.
