    (520 ILCS 5/3.37)  (from Ch. 61, par. 3.37)



7
    Sec. 3.37. The Department of Natural Resources has the

8
authority to designate agents to sell licenses, stamps and 
9
permits on behalf of
the Department.  Any person receiving 
10
licenses from the Department for sale as
provided for in this 
11
Section, shall execute and deliver receipts therefor; and
shall 
12
on dates specified by the Department report in
writing to the 
13
Department the number and kind of licenses sold, and
shall, 
14
with such reports, make remittances to the Department covering

15
the amounts received from such sales. Failure on the part of 
16
any clerk
or agent to fully comply with this Act, including 
17
administrative rules,
shall be justification for the 
18
Department to cancel or withdraw the
issuance of licenses 
19
through such clerks or agents.  A Federal Migratory
Bird Hunting 
20
and Conservation Stamp shall be deemed a license for the

21
purpose of this Section.  Any person authorized by the 
22
Department including any
county, city, village, township, or 
23
incorporated town clerk issuing licenses,
permits or stamps

1
provided for in this Act, may add the following as the fees
for 
2
issuing such licenses: 75 cents in the case of Sportsmen's 
3
Combination
Licenses or nonresident hunting licenses, and 
4
$1.00
50 cents in the case of all
other licenses, permits and 
5
stamps.  However, such clerks shall remit to the
treasurer of 
6
the political subdivision of which he is an officer or 
7
employee,
the added fees or any portion thereof he or she 
8
collects provided in this
Section.  Issuing fees may be divided 
9
between such clerks and their appointed
subagents other than 
10
employees of the clerk's office, but in no case may any
clerk 
11
or subagent charge an issuing fee or fees totaling more than 
12
the issuing
fee set out in this Section.  No person, or subagent 
13
of any county, city,
village, township or incorporated town 
14
clerk may charge a service fee for
issuing licenses provided 
15
for in this Act, and the charging of fees for issuing
such 
16
licenses in excess of the fees authorized is a petty offense.  
17
All
fees, less issuing fees, collected from the sale of 
18
licenses and permits
and not remitted to
the Department as 
19
provided in this Section, shall be deemed to have been

20
embezzled and the person or officer responsible for such 
21
remittance is
subject to prosecution.
Any person authorized to 
22
issue licenses by telephone and electronic
transmission or 
23
incurring costs for customer convenience may charge in addition

24
to the "issuing fee" authorized by this Section a fee not to 
25
exceed an amount
set by the Department, by administrative rule, 
26
to cover the transaction cost.
