(5) The fee for the replacement of a license, registration, or certification is $25. (6) The late filing charge for any license, registration, or certification is $75. (7) The fee for multiple copies of this Act and regulations or for any category or sub-category specific training materials is $5 per copy. All fees shall be paid by check or money order. Any fee required by this Act is not refundable in the event that the original application or application for renewal is denied. (b) Every application for an original commercial structural pest control business location license shall be accompanied by a certificate of insurance issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Illinois or by a risk retention or purchasing group formed pursuant to the federal Liability Risk Retention Act of 1986, which provides primary, first dollar public liability coverage of the applicant or licensee for personal injuries for not less than $100,000 per person, or $300,000 per occurrence, and, in addition, for not less than $50,000 per occurrence for property damage, resulting from structural pest control. The insurance policy shall be in effect at all times during the license year and a new certificate of insurance shall be filed with the Department within 30 days after the renewal of the insurance policy. Each application for renewal of a commercial structural pest control location license shall also include a certificate of insurance as detailed above unless a valid certificate of insurance is already on file with the Department. Applicants for registration or registration renewal shall not be required to provide evidence of public liability insurance coverage. All administrative civil fines and fees collected pursuant to this Act shall be deposited into the Pesticide Control Fund established pursuant to the Illinois Pesticide Act. The amount annually collected as administrative civil fines and fees shall be appropriated by the General Assembly to the Department for the purposes of conducting a public education program on the proper use of pesticides and for other activities related to enforcement of this Act and the Illinois Pesticide Act.
