All final administrative decisions of the Illinois State Police are subject to judicial review under Article III of the Code of Civil Procedure. The term "administrative decision" is defined as in Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The proceedings for judicial review shall be commenced in the circuit court of the county in which the party applying for review resides, but if the party is not a resident of this State, the venue shall be in Sangamon County. The Illinois State Police shall not be required to certify any record to the court, or file any answer in court, or otherwise appear in any court in a judicial review proceeding, unless, and until, the Illinois State Police has received from the plaintiff payment of the costs of furnishing and certifying the record, which costs shall be determined by the Illinois State Police. Exhibits shall be certified without cost. Failure on the part of the applicant or licensee to file a receipt in court is grounds for dismissal of the action.
