Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.
520 ILCS 5/3.37
(520 ILCS 5/3.37) (from Ch. 61, par. 3.37)
Sec. 3.37.
The Department of Natural Resources has the
authority to designate agents to sell licenses, stamps and permits on behalf of
the Department. Any person receiving licenses from the Department for sale as
provided for in this Section, shall execute and deliver receipts therefor; and
shall on dates specified by the Department report in
writing to the Department the number and kind of licenses sold, and
shall, with such reports, make remittances to the Department covering
the amounts received from such sales. Failure on the part of any clerk
or agent to fully comply with this Act, including administrative rules,
shall be justification for the Department to cancel or withdraw the
issuance of licenses through such clerks or agents. A Federal Migratory
Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp shall be deemed a license for the
purpose of this Section. Any person authorized by the Department including any
county, city, village, township, or incorporated town clerk issuing licenses,
permits or stamps provided for in this Act, may add the following as the fees
for issuing such licenses: 75 cents in the case of Sportsmen's Combination
Licenses or nonresident hunting licenses, and 50 cents in the case of all
other licenses, permits and stamps. However, such clerks shall remit to the
treasurer of the political subdivision of which he is an officer or employee,
the added fees or any portion thereof he or she collects provided in this
Section. Issuing fees may be divided between such clerks and their appointed
subagents other than employees of the clerk's office, but in no case may any
clerk or subagent charge an issuing fee or fees totaling more than the issuing
fee set out in this Section. No person, or subagent of any county, city,
village, township or incorporated town clerk may charge a service fee for
issuing licenses provided for in this Act, and the charging of fees for issuing
such licenses in excess of the fees authorized is a petty offense. All
fees, less issuing fees, collected from the sale of licenses and permits
and not remitted to
the Department as provided in this Section, shall be deemed to have been
embezzled and the person or officer responsible for such remittance is
subject to prosecution.
Any person authorized to issue licenses by telephone and electronic
transmission or incurring costs for customer convenience may charge in addition
to the "issuing fee" authorized by this Section a fee not to exceed an amount
set by the Department, by administrative rule, to cover the transaction cost.
