| 1 |
| AN ACT concerning wildlife.
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Wildlife Code is amended by changing Section | 5 |
| 3.37 as follows:
| 6 |
| (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.
