(A) Any licensee determined by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner to have violated any provisions of the Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934 (ILCS Ch. 235, Act 5 et seq.), any village ordinance or any rule or regulation established by the Illinois Liquor Control Commissioner or the Local Liquor Control Commissioner, may, upon conviction, be subject to pay the village the costs of the hearing on such violation. The Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall determine the costs incurred by the village for the hearing, including, but not limited to court reporter fees, the costs of transcripts or records, the costs of preparing and mailing notices and orders, attorneys’ fees and all other miscellaneous expenses incurred by the village or such lesser sum as the Local Liquor Control Commissioner may allow.
(B) The person shall pay said costs to the village within 30 days of notification of the costs by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner. Failure to pay said costs within 30 days of notification is a violation of this section and may be cause for license suspension or revocation or the levy of a fine in accordance with the requirements set forth in § 37.08 of this code. If appealed to the State Liquor Commission, payment is due 40 days after entry of an order affirming the decision of the Local Liquor Control Commissioner.
(C) Any assessment of costs or other sum of money imposed on a person pursuant to an order of the Local Liquor Control Commissioner, remaining unpaid after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust, judicial review procedures under the Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934 (ILCS Ch. 235, Act 5 et seq.) shall be a debt due and owing to the village and, as such, may be collected in accordance with applicable law.
