(225 ILCS 729/50)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 50.
Returned checks.
Any person who on 2 occasions issues or
delivers a
check or other order to the State Fire Marshal that is not honored by the
financial
institution upon which it is drawn because of insufficient funds in his or her
account,
shall pay to the State Fire Marshal, in addition to the amount owing upon the
check or
other order, a fee of $50. If the check or other order was issued or delivered
in payment
of a renewal fee and the licensee whose license has lapsed continues to
practice without
paying the renewal fee and the $50 fee required under this Section, an
additional fee of
$100 shall be imposed for practicing without a current license. The State Fire
Marshal
shall notify the licensee whose license has lapsed within 30 days after the
discovery by
the State Fire Marshal that the licensee is practicing without a current
license, that the
person is acting as a petroleum equipment contractor or employee, as the case
may be,
without a license, and the amount due to the State Fire Marshal, which shall
include the
lapsed renewal fee and all other fees required by this Section. If after the
expiration of 30
days from the date of such notification, the licensee whose license has lapsed
seeks a
current license, he or she shall apply to the State Fire Marshal for
reinstatement of the
license and pay all fees due to the State Fire Marshal. The State Fire Marshal
may
establish a fee for the processing of an application for reinstatement of a
license that
allows the State Fire Marshal to pay all costs and expenses incident to the
processing of
this application. The State Fire Marshal may waive the fees due under this
Section in
individual cases where he or she finds that the fees would be unreasonable or
unnecessarily
burdensome.
