Section 805 ILCS 185/20 - Failure to obtain a certificate of registration

Whenever the Department has reason to believe a professional limited liability company has opened, operated, or maintained an establishment without a certificate of registration, the Department may issue a notice of violation to the professional limited liability company. The notice of violation shall provide a period of 30 days after the date of the notice to either file an answer to the satisfaction of the Department or submit an application for a certificate of registration in compliance with this Act. If the professional limited liability company submits an application for a certificate of registration, it must pay the $50 application fee and a late fee of $100 for each year that the professional limited liability company opened, operated, or maintained an establishment without a certificate of registration for the purpose of providing any professional service that requires the individuals engaged in the profession to be licensed by the Department, with a maximum late fee of $500. If the professional limited liability company that is the subject of the notice of violation fails to respond, fails to respond to the satisfaction of the Department, or fails to submit an application for registration, the Department may institute disciplinary proceedings against the professional limited liability company and may impose a civil penalty up to $1,000 for violation of this Act after affording the professional limited liability company a hearing in conformance with the requirements of this Act.
