(225 ILCS 107/65)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)
Sec. 65. Payments; penalty for insufficient funds. Any person who issues or delivers a
check or other order 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 certification 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 to pay all costs and
expenses of processing of this application. The Secretary may waive the fines
due under this Section in individual cases where the Secretary finds that the
fines would be unnecessarily burdensome.
