The fee to be paid shall be applicable for a full year, or any part thereof, without proration or other reduction if purchased for less than a full year. All fees for licenses pursuant to this chapter shall be paid at the time the application is made.
(B) The Chief of Police shall conduct a criminal background check of all applicants at the time of their initial application, and at any time a change in ownership results in a new owner being added to the reported list of owners or holders of 5% equity or stock. By applying for a license, the applicant agrees to provide proof of submission under the Uniform Conviction Information Act through a fingerprint conviction information request with an approved Livescan vendor authorized by the Illinois State Police within the preceding 30 days and to this background check.
