(2)  If a registrant pays a fee required under this chapter by check or by debit or credit card and the check is not paid by the financial institution upon which the check is drawn or if the demand for payment under the debit or credit card transaction is not paid by the financial institution upon which demand is made, the department may cancel the registration after 60 days after the department receives a notice of nonpayment from the financial institution, subject to sub. (3) .

(3)  At least 20 days before canceling a registration under sub. (2) , the department shall provide a notice to the registrant that informs the registrant that the check or demand for payment under the debit or credit card transaction was not paid by the financial institution and that the registrant's registration may be canceled, unless the registrant does all of the following before that date:

(a) Pays the fee for which the unpaid check or demand for payment under the debit or credit card transaction was issued.

(b) Pays any applicable late fee.

(c) Pays the charge for an unpaid draft established by the depository selection board under s. 20.905 (2) .

(4)  The department may extend the date for cancellation to allow the registrant additional time to comply with sub. (3) (a) to (c) .

(5)  The department may reinstate a registration that it cancelled under this section only if the former registrant complies with sub. (3) (a) to (c) and pays a $30 reinstatement fee.
