(230 ILCS 30/5) (from Ch. 120, par. 1125)
Sec. 5. Providers' License. The Department shall issue a providers'
license permitting a person, firm or corporation to provide
premises for the conduct of charitable games. No person, firm or
corporation may rent or otherwise provide premises without having first
obtained a license. Applications for providers' licenses shall be made in writing in accordance with Department rules. The Department shall license providers of charitable games at a nonrefundable annual fee of $50, or nonrefundable triennial license fee of $150. Each providers' license is valid for one year
from the date of issuance, or 3 years from date of issuance for a triennial license, unless extended, suspended,
or revoked by Department action
before
that date. Any extension of a providers' license shall not exceed one year. A provider may receive reasonable compensation for the provision
of the premises. Reasonable expenses shall include only those expenses defined as reasonable by rules adopted by the Department. A provider, other than a
municipality, may not provide
the same premises for conducting more than 12 charitable games nights
per year.
A provider shall not have any interest in any suppliers' business, either
direct or indirect.
A municipality may provide the same premises for conducting 48 charitable
games nights during a 12-month period. No employee, officer, or owner of a
provider may participate in the management or operation of a charitable games
event, even if the employee, officer, or owner is also a member, volunteer, or
employee of the charitable games licensee. A provider may not promote or
solicit a charitable games event on behalf of a charitable games licensee or
qualified organization.
Any qualified organization licensed to conduct a
charitable game need not obtain a providers' license if such games are to
be conducted on the organization's premises.
