Illinois § 15.2

§ 15.2.

A licensee may surrender any license by delivering to the Comptroller written notice that he thereby surrenders such license but such surrender shall not affect such licensee's civil or criminal liability for acts committed prior to such surrender, or affect his bond. The Comptroller shall not permit a license to be surrendered by a licensee unless and until such licensee has furnished to the Comptroller satisfactory evidence of his release and discharge from all trust liabilities and obligations and unless and until the care funds of such licensee have been transferred to a successor licensee who shall be licensed by the Comptroller in conformity with the provisions of this Act. However, the Comptroller shall accept the surrender of a license held by a cemetery authority that is a cemetery association or corporation owning, operating or controlling a cemetery not for profit, whose cemetery has been conveyed to and accepted by any city, village, incorporated town, township or county, upon: (a) the licensee submitting to the Comptroller a copy of the act, resolution or ordinance under which the political subdivision accepted or is charged with the responsibility of operating and controlling the cemetery; (b) the making and filing with and approval by the Comptroller of a final account for care funds from the date of last report made by the licensee to the Comptroller to the date of transfer to the successor cemetery authority; (c) the furnishing of a copy of the instrument of appointment or certificate of election of trustees of the public graveyard or managers of the municipal cemetery authorized to hold care funds or trust funds for care, and the receipt of such trustees of the public graveyard or managers of the municipal cemetery for the care funds investments listed in the final account; and (d) the return of the Cemetery Authority License to the Comptroller for cancellation. Upon satisfactory performance of the foregoing by a licensee, the same shall be deemed satisfactory evidence of the licensee's release and discharge from all trust liabilities and obligations and transfer of the licensee's care funds to an authorized successor within the meaning and intent of this Act.
