(225 ILCS 2/120)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018)
Sec. 120. Checks or orders to Department dishonored because of insufficient funds. Any person who issues or delivers a check or other order to the Department that is not honored on 2 occasions by the financial institution upon which it is drawn because of insufficient funds on account, the account is closed, or a stop payment has been placed on the check or order shall pay to the Department, 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 or issuance fee and the person whose registration has lapsed continues to practice acupuncture without paying the renewal or issuance fee and the required $50 fee under this Section, an additional fee of $100 shall be imposed. The fees imposed by this Section are in addition to any other disciplinary provision under this Act prohibiting practice on an expired or non-renewed registration. The Department shall mail a registration renewal form to each registrant 60 days before the expiration of the registrant's current registration. The Department shall notify a person whose registration has lapsed, within 30 days after the discovery of the lapse, that the individual is engaged in the unauthorized practice of acupuncture and of the amount due to the Department 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 the notification a person whose registration has lapsed seeks a current registration, he or she shall thereafter apply to the Department for restoration of the registration and pay all fees due to the Department. The Department may establish a fee for the processing of an application for restoration of a registration that allows the Department to pay all costs and expenses incident to the processing of this application. The Secretary may waive the fees due under this Section in individual cases where he or she finds that the fees would be unreasonably or unnecessarily burdensome.
