(225 ILCS 55/60) (from Ch. 111, par. 8351-60)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 60. Payments; penalty for 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
prohibiting 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
after 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.
