Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(225 ILCS 458/15-55)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2027)
Sec. 15-55. Checks, credit card charges, or orders to Department dishonored because of insufficient funds. Any person who: (1) delivers a check or other payment to the |
| Department that is returned to the Department unpaid by the financial institution upon which it was drawn; or
|
|
(2) presents a credit card or debit card for payment
|
| that is invalid or expired or against which charges by the Department are declined or dishonored;
|
|
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 non-renewed license. The Department shall notify the applicant or licensee that payment of fees and fines shall be paid to the Department by certified check or money order within 30 calendar days after 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. After termination or denial, the person seeking a license must 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 of the expenses of processing the application. The Secretary
may waive
the fines due
under this Section in individual cases where the Secretary
finds that the
penalties or fines would be
unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome.
