Ill. Admin. Code tit. 44, § 30.72 – Annual Confirmation of Eligibility

a) To maintain its certification, a certified business must file with the Secretary on an annual basis an Annual Confirmation form confirming there have been no changes in ownership or control from the last certification that would affect the validity of the certification and shall provide any additional information requested by the Secretary. The Annual Confirmation form shall be in the form specified by the Secretary and shall include, but not be limited to, owner demographics, annual gross sales, current licensing, ownership interest, certification documentation with other entities and a signed and notarized affidavit.
b) At least 60 days prior to the anniversary of a certification, the Secretary shall send a notice to the certified business advising that it must complete and return the Annual Confirmation form, postmarked by the date specified in the notice.
c) If the certified business fails to submit the Annual Confirmation form, the Secretary shall issue a provisional revocation of the certification and so notify the business. If the Annual Confirmation form is not received within 30 days after the mailing of the provisional revocation to the certified business, the revocation shall become final and the business shall be so notified.
d) If the certified business submits an Annual Confirmation form that indicates that ownership or control have changed such that the certified business is or may be no longer eligible for certification, the Secretary may request further information or may issue a final revocation.
e) Upon receipt of the notice of final revocation, the certified business may submit a new and complete application for certification.
f) In addition to the annual confirmation, the Secretary may require confirmation of eligibility at any time during the term of certification.
