Any licensee determined by the Liquor Commissioner to have violated any of the provisions of the Illinois Liquor Control Act, 235 ILCS 5/11-1 et seq., this chapter or any other valid ordinance or resolution enacted by the Village Council, or any applicable rule or regulation established by the Liquor Commissioner or by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission, shall pay to the village the costs of the hearing before the Liquor Commissioner on such violation. The Liquor Commissioner shall determine the costs incurred by the village including court reporter fees, the cost of transcripts or records, attorney fees, the cost of preparing and mailing notices and orders, and other miscellaneous expenses incurred by the village. The licensee shall pay said costs to the village within 30 days of notification of the costs of the Liquor Commissioner. Failure to pay said costs within 30 days of notification is a violation of this section, and may be cause for imposition of a fine, license revocation or suspension. In the event of an appeal to the State Liquor Control Commission, and in cases where appeal is taken under the Administrative Review Act, 735 ILCS 5/3-1010 et seq., payment is due 40 days after entry of an order by the State Commission or appropriate court, as the case may be, finally affirming the determination of the Village Liquor Commissioner.
