(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2024)Sec. 25-15. Qualifications for licensure as a private  security contractor agency.(a) Upon receipt of the required fee and proof that the  applicant has a full-time Illinois licensed private security  licensee-in-charge, which is a continuing requirement for  agency licensure, the Department shall issue  a license as a private security contractor agency  to any of the following:(1) An individual who submits an application and is a     licensed private security contractor under this Act.(2) A firm that submits an application and all of the     members of the firm are licensed private security contractors under this Act.(3) A corporation or limited liability company doing     business in Illinois that is authorized to engage in the business of conducting a private security contractor agency if at least one officer or executive employee is licensed as a private security contractor under this Act and all unlicensed officers and directors of the corporation or limited liability company are determined by the Department to be persons of good moral character.(b) No private security contractor may be the licensee-in-charge for more than one  private security contractor agency. Upon written request by a  representative of the agency, within 10 days after the loss of  a licensee-in-charge of an agency  because of the death of that individual or because of the  termination of the employment of that individual, the  Department shall issue a temporary certificate of authority  allowing the continuing operation of the licensed agency. No  temporary certificate of authority shall be valid for more  than 90 days. An extension of an additional 90 days may be  granted upon written request by the representative of the  agency. Not more than 2 extensions may be granted to any  agency. No temporary permit shall be issued for loss of the  licensee-in-charge because of disciplinary action by the  Department related to his or her conduct on behalf of the  agency.(c) Upon issuance of the temporary certificate of authority as provided for in subsection (b) of this Section and at any time thereafter while the temporary certificate of authority is in effect, the Department may request in writing additional information from the agency regarding the loss of its licensee-in-charge, the selection of a new licensee-in-charge, and the management of the agency. Failure of the agency to respond or respond to the satisfaction of the  Department shall cause the Department to deny any extension  of the temporary certificate of authority. While the  temporary certificate of authority is in effect, the  Department may disapprove the selection of a new licensee-in-charge  by the agency if the person's license is not operative  or the Department has good cause to believe that the person  selected will not fully exercise the responsibilities of a  licensee-in-charge. If the Department has disapproved the  selection of a new licensee-in-charge and the temporary  certificate of authority expires or is about to expire  without the agency selecting another new licensee-in-charge,  the Department shall grant an extension of the temporary  certificate of authority for an additional 90 days, except as  otherwise prohibited in subsection (b) or this subsection (c).
