    (225 ILCS 20/14) (from Ch. 111, par. 6364)
    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-1048)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
    Sec. 14.

Checks or order to Department dishonored because of insufficient
funds.

Any person who delivers a check or other payment to the Department that
is returned to the Department unpaid by the financial institution upon
which it is drawn shall pay to the Department, in addition to the amount
already owed to the Department, a fine of $50.  The fines imposed by this Section are in addition
to any other discipline provided under this Act for unlicensed
practice or practice on a nonrenewed license. The Department shall notify
the person that payment of fees and fines shall be paid to the Department
by certified check or money order within 30 calendar days of the
notification. If, after the expiration of 30 days from the date of the
notification, the person has failed to submit the necessary remittance, the
Department shall automatically terminate the license or deny
the application, without hearing. If, after termination or denial, the
person seeks a license, he or she shall apply to the
Department for restoration or issuance of the license and
pay all fees and fines due to the Department. The Department may establish
a fee for the processing of an application for restoration of a license to pay all expenses of processing this application. The Secretary

may waive the fines due under this Section in individual cases where the Secretary finds that the fines would be unreasonable or unnecessarily
burdensome.
