Illinois Statutes Chapter 510. Animals § 40/7. Renewal fee; determination of renewal date; forfeited brands; reinstatement

§ 7. By January 1 of each fifth year following original recording with the Department, each owner of a brand of record shall submit to the Department a renewal fee of $15. For the purpose of determining renewal date, the period between the date a brand is recorded with the Department and January 1 of the next year shall constitute the first year of the 5-year period. If the owner of a brand of record fails, refuses, or neglects to pay such fee by June 30 of the year in which it is due, the brand shall be forfeited and no longer carried in the record. A forfeited brand shall not be issued to another person for a period of 5 years following the date of forfeiture. During this 5-year period, the owner of record may make application to the Department for restitution of a forfeited brand. Such application shall be accompanied by a facsimile brand and a reinstatement fee of $25. The renewal date for a reinstated brand shall remain the same and renewal fees on such brands shall be due on January 1 of each fifth year following original recording.
