24    2011, purchases a vehicle with an undisclosed lien from a
25    dealer who subsequently files for bankruptcy or whose

3subsection (k) of this Section shall be equal to the amount of
4the undisclosed lien. However, no award for a claim under
5subsection (k) of this Section shall exceed $35,000.
6    (n) If the balance in the Fund at the time of any Board
7meeting is less than the amount of the total amount of all
8claims awarded at that meeting, then all awards made at that
9meeting shall be reduced, pro rata, so that the amount of
10claims does not exceed the balance in the Fund. Before it
11reviews new claims, the Board shall issue written orders to pay
12the remaining portion of any claims that were so reduced,
13provided that the balance in the Fund is sufficient to pay
14those claims.
15    (o) Whenever the balance of the Fund falls below $500,000,
16the Board may charge dealers an additional assessment of up to
17$50 to bring the balance to at least $500,000. Not more than
18one additional assessment may be made against a dealer in any
1912-month period.
20    (p) If the total amount of claims awarded against any
21dealer exceeds 33% of the balance in the Fund, the Board may
22permanently reduce the amount of those claims, pro rata, so
23that those claims do not exceed 33% of the balance in the Fund.
24    (q) The Board shall issue a written order directing the
25Fund Administrator to pay an applicant's claim to a secured
26party where the Board has received a signed agreement between

 

 

HB3269- 47 -LRB101 10800 TAE 55929 b

1the applicant and the secured party holding the lien. The
2agreement must (i) state that the applicant and the secured
3party agree to accept payment from the Fund to the secured
4party as settlement in full of all claims against the dealer;
5and (ii) release the lien and the title, if applicable, to the
6vehicle that was the subject of the claim. The written order
7shall state the amount of the claim and the name and address of
8the secured party to whom the claim shall be paid. The Fund
9Administrator shall pay the claim within 30 days after it
10receives the Board's order.
11    (r) No dealer or principal associated with a dealer's
12license is eligible for licensure, renewal or relicensure until
13the full amount of reimbursement for an unpaid claim, plus
14interest as determined by the Board, is paid to the Fund.
15Nothing in this Section shall limit the authority of the
16Secretary of State to suspend, revoke, or levy civil penalties
17against a dealer, nor shall full repayment of the amount owed
18to the Fund nullify or modify the effect of any action by the
19Secretary.
20    (s) Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of any
21person to seek relief though civil action against any other
22person as an alternative to seeking reimbursement from the
23Fund.
