(225 ILCS 63/115)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 115. Returned checks; fines. 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 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 certificate or deny
the application, without hearing. If, after termination or denial, the
person seeks a license or
certificate,
he or she shall apply to the Department for restoration or
issuance of the
license or certificate 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 or
certificate to defray all expenses of processing
the 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.
