Text

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030) Sec. 20-95. Returned checks and dishonored credit card charges; fine. A person who: (i) delivers a check or other payment to the Department that is returned to the Department unpaid by the financial institution upon which it is drawn; or (ii) presents a credit 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 fee of $50. The Department shall notify the person that the check has been returned and that the person shall pay to the Department by certified check or money order the amount of the returned check plus the $50 fee within 30 calendar days after the date of the notification. If, after the expiration of 30 calendar days of the notification, the person has failed to submit the necessary remittance, the Department shall automatically terminate the license or deny the application without a hearing. If, after termination or denial, the person seeks a license, the applicant or licensee shall petition the Department for restoration or issuance of the license and may be subject to additional discipline or fines. The Secretary may waive the fines due under this Section in individual cases where the Secretary finds that the fines would be unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome.
