3 | privilege to
drive a motor vehicle has been ordered | ||||||
4 | suspended for such times as determined
by the court, but | ||||||
5 | only until he or she attains
18 years of age. It shall be | ||||||
6 | the duty of the clerk of the court in which
adjudication is | ||||||
7 | had within 5 days thereafter to forward to the Secretary of
| ||||||

10 | driver's license and driving privilege for such
time as | ||||||
11 | determined by the court, but only until he or she attains | ||||||
12 | the age of 18
years. All juvenile court dispositions | ||||||
13 | reported to the Secretary of State
under this provision | ||||||
14 | shall be processed by the Secretary of State as if the
| ||||||
15 | cases had been adjudicated in traffic or criminal court. | ||||||
16 | However, information
reported relative to the offense of | ||||||
17 | reckless homicide, or Section 11-501 of
this Code, or a | ||||||
18 | similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be privileged
| ||||||
19 | and available only to the Secretary of State, courts, and | ||||||
20 | police officers.
| ||||||
21 | The reporting requirements of this subsection (a) | ||||||
22 | apply to all violations listed in paragraphs (1) and (2) of | ||||||
23 | this subsection (a), excluding parking violations, when | ||||||
24 | the driver holds a CLP or CDL, regardless of the type of | ||||||
25 | vehicle in which the violation occurred, or when any driver | ||||||
26 | committed the violation in a commercial motor vehicle as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defined in Section 6-500 of this Code.
| ||||||
2 | (3) Whenever an order is entered vacating the | ||||||
3 | forfeiture of any
bail,
security or bond given to secure | ||||||
4 | appearance for any offense under this
Code or similar | ||||||
5 | offenses under municipal ordinance, it shall be the duty
of | ||||||
6 | the clerk of the court in which such vacation was had or | ||||||
7 | the judge of
such court if such court has no clerk, within | ||||||
8 | 5 days thereafter to

9 | report of the vacation.
| ||||||
10 | (4) A report of any disposition of court supervision | ||||||
11 | for a
violation of
Sections 6-303, 11-401, 11-501 or a | ||||||
12 | similar provision of a local ordinance,
11-503, 11-504, and | ||||||
13 | 11-506 of this Code, Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile | ||||||
14 | Registration and Safety Act, and Section 5-16 of the Boat | ||||||
15 | Registration and Safety Act shall be forwarded to the | ||||||
16 | Secretary of State.
A report of any disposition of court | ||||||
17 | supervision for a violation of an offense
defined as a | ||||||
18 | serious traffic violation in this Code or a similar | ||||||
19 | provision of a
local ordinance committed by a person under | ||||||
20 | the age of 21 years shall be
forwarded to the Secretary of | ||||||
21 | State.
| ||||||
22 | (5) Reports of conviction
under this Code
and | ||||||
23 | sentencing hearings under the
Juvenile Court
Act of 1987 in | ||||||
24 | an electronic format
or a computer processable processible | ||||||
25 | medium
shall
be
forwarded to the Secretary of State via the | ||||||
26 | Supreme Court in the form and
format required by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois Supreme Court and established by a written
| ||||||
2 | agreement between the Supreme Court and the Secretary of | ||||||
3 | State.
In counties with a population over 300,000, instead | ||||||
4 | of forwarding reports to
the Supreme Court, reports of | ||||||
5 | conviction
under this Code
and sentencing hearings under | ||||||
6 | the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in an electronic format
or a | ||||||
7 | computer processable processible medium
may
be forwarded | ||||||
8 | to the Secretary of State by the Circuit Court Clerk in a | ||||||
9 | form and
format required by the Secretary of State and | ||||||
10 | established by written agreement
between the Circuit Court | ||||||
11 | Clerk and the Secretary of State. Failure to
forward the | ||||||
12 | reports of conviction or sentencing hearing under the | ||||||
13 | Juvenile
Court Act of 1987 as required by this Section | ||||||
14 | shall be
deemed an omission of duty and it shall be the | ||||||
15 | duty of the several State's
Attorneys to enforce the | ||||||
16 | requirements of this Section.
| ||||||
17 | (b) Whenever a restricted driving permit is forwarded to a | ||||||
18 | court, as a
result of confiscation by a police officer pursuant | ||||||
19 | to the authority in
Section 6-113(f), it shall be the duty of | ||||||
20 | the clerk, or judge, if the court
has no clerk, to forward such | ||||||
21 | restricted driving permit and a facsimile of
the officer's | ||||||
22 | citation to the Secretary of State as expeditiously as
| ||||||
23 | practicable.
| ||||||
24 | (c) For the purposes of this Code, a forfeiture of bail or | ||||||
25 | collateral
deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in | ||||||
26 | court when forfeiture
has not been vacated, or the failure of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | defendant to appear for trial
after depositing his driver's | ||||||
2 | license in lieu of other bail, shall be
equivalent to a | ||||||
3 | conviction.
| ||||||
4 | (d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State | ||||||
5 | with records
necessary to properly monitor and assess driver | ||||||
6 | performance and assist the
courts in the proper disposition of | ||||||
7 | repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk
of the court shall | ||||||
8 | forward to the Secretary of State,
on a form prescribed
by the | ||||||
9 | Secretary, records of a driver's participation in a driver | ||||||
10 | remedial
or rehabilitative program which was required, through | ||||||
11 | a court order or court
supervision, in relation to the driver's | ||||||
12 | arrest for a violation of Section
11-501 of this Code or a | ||||||
13 | similar provision of a local ordinance.
The clerk of the court | ||||||
14 | shall also forward to the Secretary, either on
paper or in an | ||||||
15 | electronic format or a computer processable processible medium | ||||||
16 | as required
under paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this | ||||||
17 | Section, any disposition
of court supervision for any traffic | ||||||
18 | violation,
excluding those offenses listed in paragraph (2)
of | ||||||
19 | subsection (a) of this Section.
These reports
shall be sent | ||||||
20 | within 5
days after disposition, or, if
the driver is
referred | ||||||
21 | to a driver
remedial or rehabilitative program, within 5 days | ||||||
22 | of the driver's referral
to that program.
These reports | ||||||
23 | received by the Secretary of State, including those required to
| ||||||
24 | be forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged | ||||||
25 | information, available
only (i) to the affected driver, (ii) to | ||||||
26 | the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 years |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | holding an instruction permit or a graduated driver's license, | ||||||
2 | and (iii) for use by the courts, police
officers, prosecuting | ||||||
3 | authorities, the Secretary of State, and the driver licensing | ||||||
4 | administrator of any other state. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. | ||||||
5 | Part 384, all reports of court supervision, except violations | ||||||
6 | related to parking, shall be forwarded to the Secretary of | ||||||
7 | State for all holders of a CLP or CDL or any driver who commits | ||||||
8 | an offense while driving a commercial motor vehicle. These | ||||||
9 | reports shall be recorded to the driver's record as a | ||||||
10 | conviction for use in the disqualification of the driver's | ||||||
11 | commercial motor vehicle privileges and shall not be privileged | ||||||
12 | information.

23 | involved in a motor vehicle accident that results in death | ||||||
24 | to another and the violation is a proximate cause of the | ||||||

26 | (b) The Secretary of State shall also immediately revoke |
| |||||||

7 | in Section 4-103 of this Code;
| ||||||
8 | 2. Of any person when any other law of this State | ||||||
9 | requires either the
revocation or suspension of a license | ||||||
10 | or permit;
| ||||||
11 | 3. Of any person adjudicated under the Juvenile Court | ||||||
12 | Act of 1987 based on an offense determined to have been | ||||||

14 | organized gang as provided in Section 5-710 of that Act, | ||||||
15 | and that involved the operation or use of a motor vehicle | ||||||
16 | or the use of a driver's license or permit. The revocation | ||||||
17 | shall remain in effect for the period determined by the | ||||||
18 | court. | ||||||
19 | (c)(1) Whenever a person is convicted of any of the | ||||||
20 | offenses enumerated in
this Section, the court may recommend | ||||||
21 | and the Secretary of State in his
discretion, without regard to | ||||||
22 | whether the recommendation is made by the
court may, upon | ||||||
23 | application,
issue to the person a
restricted driving permit | ||||||
24 | granting the privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the | ||||||
25 | petitioner's residence and petitioner's place
of employment or | ||||||
26 | within the scope of the petitioner's employment related
duties, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or herself or a | ||||||
2 | family member
of the petitioner's household to a medical | ||||||
3 | facility for the receipt of necessary medical care or to allow | ||||||
4 | the
petitioner to transport himself or herself to and from | ||||||
5 | alcohol or drug remedial or rehabilitative activity | ||||||
6 | recommended by a licensed service provider, or to allow the
| ||||||
7 | petitioner to transport himself or herself or a family member | ||||||

10 | to transport children, elderly persons, or persons with | ||||||
11 | disabilities who do not hold driving privileges and are living | ||||||
12 | in the petitioner's household to and from daycare; if the | ||||||
13 | petitioner is able to demonstrate that no alternative means
of | ||||||
14 | transportation is reasonably available and that the petitioner | ||||||
15 | will not endanger
the public safety or welfare; provided that | ||||||
16 | the Secretary's discretion shall be
limited to cases where | ||||||
17 | undue hardship, as defined by the rules of the Secretary of | ||||||
18 | State, would result from a failure to issue the
restricted | ||||||
19 | driving permit.
| ||||||
20 | (1.5) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of | ||||||
21 | subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make | ||||||
22 | application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing | ||||||
23 | conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the expiration | ||||||
24 | of 5 years from the effective date of the most recent | ||||||
25 | revocation, or after 5 years from the date of release from a | ||||||
26 | period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction of the most |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recent offense, whichever is later, provided the person, in | ||||||
2 | addition to all other requirements of the Secretary, shows by | ||||||
3 | clear and convincing evidence: | ||||||
4 | (A) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted abstinence | ||||||
5 | from alcohol and the unlawful use or consumption of | ||||||
6 | cannabis under the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled | ||||||
7 | substance under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an | ||||||
8 | intoxicating compound under the Use of Intoxicating | ||||||
9 | Compounds Act, or methamphetamine under the | ||||||
10 | Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; and | ||||||
11 | (B) the successful completion of any rehabilitative | ||||||
12 | treatment and involvement in any ongoing rehabilitative | ||||||
13 | activity that may be recommended by a properly licensed | ||||||
14 | service provider according to an assessment of the person's | ||||||
15 | alcohol or drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code. | ||||||
16 | In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a | ||||||
17 | restricted driving permit under this paragraph (1.5), the | ||||||
18 | Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including, but | ||||||
19 | not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the results | ||||||
20 | of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject to the | ||||||
21 | provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of | ||||||
22 | this Code and who have been convicted of more than one | ||||||
23 | violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or paragraph (5) of | ||||||
24 | subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of this Code shall not be | ||||||
25 | eligible to apply for a restricted driving permit. | ||||||
26 | A restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1.5) shall provide that the holder may only operate motor | ||||||
2 | vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device as required | ||||||
3 | under paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section and | ||||||
4 | subparagraph (A) of paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of Section | ||||||
5 | 6-206 of this Code. The Secretary may revoke a restricted | ||||||
6 | driving permit or amend the conditions of a restricted driving | ||||||
7 | permit issued under this paragraph (1.5) if the holder operates | ||||||
8 | a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock | ||||||
9 | device, or for any other reason authorized under this Code. | ||||||
10 | A restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph | ||||||
11 | (1.5) shall be revoked, and the holder barred from applying for | ||||||
12 | or being issued a restricted driving permit in the future, if | ||||||
13 | the holder is subsequently convicted of a violation of Section | ||||||
14 | 11-501 of this Code, a similar provision of a local ordinance, | ||||||
15 | or a similar offense in another state. | ||||||
16 | (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or suspended | ||||||
17 | due to 2 or
more convictions of violating Section 11-501 of | ||||||
18 | this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance or a | ||||||
19 | similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal | ||||||
20 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of | ||||||
21 | alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, | ||||||
22 | or a similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these | ||||||
23 | offenses, arising out
of separate occurrences, that person, if | ||||||
24 | issued a restricted driving permit,
may not operate a vehicle | ||||||
25 | unless it has been equipped with an ignition
interlock device | ||||||
26 | as defined in Section 1-129.1.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) If:
| ||||||
2 | (A) a person's license or permit is revoked or | ||||||
3 | suspended 2 or more
times due to any combination of: | ||||||
4 | (i)
a single conviction of violating Section
| ||||||
5 | 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
6 | ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense, or | ||||||
7 | Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
8 | Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or | ||||||
9 | other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or | ||||||
10 | a similar out-of-state offense; or | ||||||
11 | (ii)
a statutory summary suspension or revocation | ||||||
12 | under Section
11-501.1; or | ||||||
13 | (iii)
a suspension pursuant to Section 6-203.1;
| ||||||
14 | arising out of
separate occurrences; or | ||||||
15 | (B)
a person has been convicted of one violation of | ||||||
16 | subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) | ||||||
17 | of Section 11-501 of this Code, Section 9-3 of the Criminal | ||||||
18 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to the | ||||||
19 | offense of reckless homicide where the use of alcohol or | ||||||
20 | other drugs was recited as an element of the offense, or a | ||||||
21 | similar provision of a law of another state;
| ||||||
22 | that person, if issued a restricted
driving permit, may not | ||||||
23 | operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
ignition | ||||||
24 | interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. | ||||||
25 | (4)
The person issued a permit conditioned on the use of an | ||||||
26 | ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | DUI Administration Fund an amount
not to exceed $30 per month. | ||||||
2 | The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount
and the | ||||||
3 | procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees. | ||||||
4 | (5)
If the restricted driving permit is issued for | ||||||
5 | employment purposes, then
the prohibition against operating a | ||||||
6 | motor vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock | ||||||
7 | device does not apply to the operation of an occupational | ||||||
8 | vehicle
owned or leased by that person's employer when used | ||||||
9 | solely for employment purposes. For any person who, within a | ||||||
10 | 5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent offense | ||||||
11 | under Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a | ||||||
12 | local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this | ||||||
13 | employment exemption does not apply until either a one-year | ||||||
14 | period has elapsed during which that person had his or her | ||||||
15 | driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has elapsed | ||||||
16 | during which that person had a restricted driving permit which | ||||||
17 | required the use of an ignition interlock device on every motor | ||||||
18 | vehicle owned or operated by that person. | ||||||
19 | (6)
In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
| ||||||
20 | restricted driving permit for a period he deems appropriate, | ||||||
21 | except that the
permit shall expire within one year from the | ||||||
22 | date of issuance. A restricted
driving permit issued under this | ||||||
23 | Section shall be
subject to cancellation, revocation, and | ||||||
24 | suspension by the Secretary of
State in like manner and for | ||||||
25 | like cause as a driver's license issued
under this Code may be | ||||||
26 | cancelled, revoked, or
suspended; except that a conviction upon |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | one or more offenses against laws or
ordinances regulating the | ||||||
2 | movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause
for the | ||||||
3 | revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted | ||||||
4 | driving permit.
The Secretary of State may, as a condition to | ||||||
5 | the issuance of a restricted
driving permit, require the | ||||||
6 | petitioner to participate in a designated driver
remedial or | ||||||
7 | rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is authorized to
| ||||||
8 | cancel a restricted driving permit if the permit holder does | ||||||
9 | not successfully
complete the program. However, if an | ||||||
10 | individual's driving privileges have been
revoked in | ||||||
11 | accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a) of this Section, | ||||||
12 | no
restricted driving permit shall be issued until the | ||||||
13 | individual has served 6
months of the revocation period.
| ||||||
14 | (c-5) (Blank).
| ||||||

9 | and 27 of this
subsection, license means any driver's license, | ||||||

12 | Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's

15 | (b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
| ||||||
16 | revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
| ||||||
17 | Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the | ||||||
18 | order of suspension
or revocation, as the case may be, provided | ||||||
19 | that a certified copy of a stay
order of a court is filed with | ||||||

21 | appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the | ||||||
22 | time

| ||||||
4 | 2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's license
| ||||||
5 | of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of this | ||||||
6 | Section, a
person's privilege to operate a vehicle as an | ||||||
7 | occupation shall not be
suspended, provided an affidavit is | ||||||
8 | properly completed, the appropriate fee
received, and a permit | ||||||
9 | issued prior to the effective date of the
suspension, unless 5 | ||||||
10 | offenses were committed, at least 2 of which occurred
while | ||||||
11 | operating a commercial vehicle in connection with the driver's
| ||||||
12 | regular occupation. All other driving privileges shall be | ||||||
13 | suspended by the
Secretary of State. Any driver prior to | ||||||
14 | operating a vehicle for
occupational purposes only must submit | ||||||
15 | the affidavit on forms to be
provided by the Secretary of State | ||||||
16 | setting forth the facts of the person's
occupation. The | ||||||
17 | affidavit shall also state the number of offenses
committed | ||||||
18 | while operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's | ||||||
19 | regular
occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the | ||||||
20 | driver's license.
Upon receipt of a properly completed | ||||||
21 | affidavit, the Secretary of State
shall issue the driver a | ||||||
22 | permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the
driver's | ||||||
23 | regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
| ||||||
24 | Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the | ||||||
25 | privilege to drive
any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set | ||||||
26 | forth in the notice that was
mailed under this Section. If an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | affidavit is received subsequent to the
effective date of this | ||||||
2 | suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder
of the | ||||||
3 | suspension period.
| ||||||
4 | The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any | ||||||
5 | driver
required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a | ||||||
6 | commercial motor vehicle.
| ||||||
7 | Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit | ||||||
8 | required
herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section 6-302 | ||||||
9 | and upon conviction
thereof shall have all driving privileges | ||||||
10 | revoked without further rights.
| ||||||
11 | 3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 of | ||||||
12 | this Code,
the Secretary of State shall either rescind or | ||||||
13 | continue an order of
revocation or shall substitute an order of | ||||||
14 | suspension; or, good
cause appearing therefor, rescind, | ||||||
15 | continue, change, or extend the
order of suspension. If the | ||||||
16 | Secretary of State does not rescind the order,
the Secretary | ||||||
17 | may upon application,
to relieve undue hardship (as defined by | ||||||
18 | the rules of the Secretary of State), issue
a restricted | ||||||
19 | driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor
| ||||||
20 | vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's | ||||||
21 | place of
employment or within the scope of the petitioner's | ||||||
22 | employment related duties, or to
allow the petitioner to | ||||||
23 | transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
| ||||||
24 | petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive | ||||||
25 | necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to transport | ||||||
26 | himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
remedial or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service | ||||||
2 | provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or | ||||||
3 | herself or a family member of the petitioner's household to | ||||||
4 | classes, as a student, at an accredited educational | ||||||
5 | institution, or to allow the petitioner to transport children, | ||||||
6 | elderly persons, or persons with disabilities who do not hold | ||||||
7 | driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's household | ||||||
8 | to and from daycare. The
petitioner must demonstrate that no | ||||||
9 | alternative means of
transportation is reasonably available | ||||||
10 | and that the petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or | ||||||
11 | welfare.
| ||||||
12 | (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | ||||||
13 | suspended due to 2
or more convictions of violating Section | ||||||
14 | 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a local | ||||||
15 | ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 | ||||||
16 | of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, | ||||||
17 | where the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an | ||||||
18 | element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense, | ||||||
19 | or a combination of these offenses, arising out
of separate | ||||||
20 | occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving | ||||||
21 | permit,
may not operate a vehicle unless it has been | ||||||
22 | equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in | ||||||
23 | Section 1-129.1.
| ||||||
24 | (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | ||||||
25 | suspended 2 or more
times due to any combination of: | ||||||
26 | (i) a single conviction of violating Section
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
2 | ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense or Section | ||||||
3 | 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code | ||||||
4 | of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is | ||||||
5 | recited as an element of the offense, or a similar | ||||||
6 | out-of-state offense; or | ||||||
7 | (ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation | ||||||
8 | under Section
11-501.1; or | ||||||
9 | (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1; | ||||||
10 | arising out of
separate occurrences; that person, if issued | ||||||
11 | a restricted driving permit, may
not operate a vehicle | ||||||
12 | unless it has been
equipped with an ignition interlock | ||||||
13 | device as defined in Section 1-129.1. | ||||||
14 | (B-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | ||||||
15 | suspended due to a conviction for a violation of | ||||||
16 | subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) | ||||||
17 | of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a | ||||||
18 | local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that | ||||||
19 | person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not | ||||||
20 | operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an | ||||||
21 | ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. | ||||||
22 | (C)
The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use | ||||||
23 | of an ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary | ||||||
24 | of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
not to exceed | ||||||
25 | $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the | ||||||
26 | amount
and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to these fees. | ||||||
2 | (D) If the
restricted driving permit is issued for | ||||||
3 | employment purposes, then the prohibition against | ||||||
4 | operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an | ||||||
5 | ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation | ||||||
6 | of an occupational vehicle owned or
leased by that person's | ||||||
7 | employer when used solely for employment purposes. For any | ||||||
8 | person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a | ||||||
9 | second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this | ||||||
10 | Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or | ||||||
11 | similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption | ||||||
12 | does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed | ||||||
13 | during which that person had his or her driving privileges | ||||||
14 | revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that | ||||||
15 | person had a restricted driving permit which required the | ||||||
16 | use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle | ||||||
17 | owned or operated by that person. | ||||||
18 | (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
restricted | ||||||
19 | driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except that | ||||||
20 | all
permits shall expire within one year from the date of | ||||||
21 | issuance. A
restricted driving permit issued under this | ||||||
22 | Section shall be subject to
cancellation, revocation, and | ||||||
23 | suspension by the Secretary of State in like
manner and for | ||||||
24 | like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may | ||||||
25 | be
cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a | ||||||
26 | conviction upon one or more
offenses against laws or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordinances regulating the movement of traffic
shall be | ||||||
2 | deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
| ||||||
3 | cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary | ||||||
4 | of State may, as
a condition to the issuance of a | ||||||
5 | restricted driving permit, require the
applicant to | ||||||
6 | participate in a designated driver remedial or | ||||||
7 | rehabilitative
program. The Secretary of State is | ||||||
8 | authorized to cancel a restricted
driving permit if the | ||||||
9 | permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
| ||||||
10 | (F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 | ||||||
11 | of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make | ||||||
12 | application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing | ||||||
13 | conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the | ||||||
14 | expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most | ||||||
15 | recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of release | ||||||
16 | from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction | ||||||
17 | of the most recent offense, whichever is later, provided | ||||||
18 | the person, in addition to all other requirements of the | ||||||
19 | Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence: | ||||||
20 | (i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted | ||||||
21 | abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or | ||||||
22 | consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control | ||||||
23 | Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois | ||||||
24 | Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound | ||||||
25 | under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or | ||||||
26 | methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Community Protection Act; and | ||||||
2 | (ii) the successful completion of any | ||||||
3 | rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any | ||||||
4 | ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be | ||||||
5 | recommended by a properly licensed service provider | ||||||
6 | according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or | ||||||
7 | drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code. | ||||||
8 | In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a | ||||||
9 | restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the | ||||||
10 | Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including, | ||||||
11 | but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the | ||||||
12 | results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject | ||||||
13 | to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of | ||||||
14 | Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted of | ||||||
15 | more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or | ||||||
16 | paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of this | ||||||
17 | Code shall not be eligible to apply for a restricted | ||||||
18 | driving permit under this subparagraph (F). | ||||||
19 | A restricted driving permit issued under this | ||||||
20 | subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only | ||||||
21 | operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock | ||||||
22 | device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of | ||||||
23 | Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of | ||||||
24 | paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The | ||||||
25 | Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend | ||||||
26 | the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle that | ||||||
2 | is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or for | ||||||
3 | any other reason authorized under this Code. | ||||||
4 | A restricted driving permit issued under this | ||||||
5 | subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred | ||||||
6 | from applying for or being issued a restricted driving | ||||||
7 | permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a | ||||||
8 | violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar | ||||||
9 | provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in | ||||||
10 | another state. | ||||||
11 | (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | ||||||
12 | subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State | ||||||
13 | under this Section shall, except during the actual time the | ||||||
14 | suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use | ||||||
15 | only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, | ||||||
16 | the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the | ||||||
17 | Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver | ||||||
18 | under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the | ||||||
19 | person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made | ||||||
20 | available to the driver licensing administrator of any other | ||||||
21 | state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected | ||||||
22 | driver or motor
carrier or prospective motor carrier upon | ||||||
23 | request.
| ||||||
24 | (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | ||||||
25 | subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person | ||||||
26 | by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of | ||||||
2 | the notice.
| ||||||
3 | (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the | ||||||
4 | reissuance of a
driver's license or permit to an applicant | ||||||
5 | whose driver's license or permit has
been suspended before he | ||||||
6 | or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of
the | ||||||
7 | provisions of this Section, require the applicant to | ||||||
8 | participate in a
driver remedial education course and be | ||||||
9 | retested under Section 6-109 of this
Code.
| ||||||
10 | (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the | ||||||
11 | Drivers License
Compact.
| ||||||
12 | (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted | ||||||
13 | driving permit to
a person under the age of 16 years whose | ||||||
14 | driving privileges have been suspended
or revoked under any | ||||||
15 | provisions of this Code.
| ||||||
16 | (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of | ||||||
17 | State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the | ||||||
18 | operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a | ||||||
19 | CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, | ||||||
20 | cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code. | ||||||

6 | the notice
sent to the person liable for any fine or penalty
| ||||||
7 | shall state that failure to pay the fine or
penalty owing | ||||||
8 | within 45 days of the notice's date will result in the

22 | The filing fee for this hearing shall
be $20, to be paid at the | ||||||
23 | time the request is made.
A municipality or county which files | ||||||
24 | a certified report with the Secretary of

25 | Section shall reimburse the Secretary for all
reasonable costs | ||||||
26 | incurred by the Secretary as a result of the filing of the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | report, including but not limited to the costs of providing the | ||||||
2 | notice
required pursuant to subsection (b) and the costs | ||||||
3 | incurred by the Secretary
in any hearing conducted with respect | ||||||
4 | to the report pursuant to this
subsection and any appeal from | ||||||

| ||||||
6 | (i) The provisions of this Section shall apply on and after | ||||||
7 | January 1, 1988.
| ||||||
8 | (j) For purposes of this Section, the term "compliance | ||||||
9 | violation" is
defined as in Section 11-208.3.
| ||||||
10 | (Source: P.A. 97-333, eff. 8-12-11; 97-672, eff. 7-1-12; | ||||||

| ||||||
12 | (625 ILCS 5/11-208.3) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-208.3)
| ||||||
13 | Sec. 11-208.3. Administrative adjudication of violations | ||||||
14 | of traffic
regulations concerning the standing, parking, or | ||||||
15 | condition of
vehicles, automated traffic law violations, and | ||||||
16 | automated speed enforcement system violations.
| ||||||
17 | (a) Any municipality or county may provide by ordinance for | ||||||
18 | a system of
administrative adjudication of vehicular standing | ||||||
19 | and parking violations and
vehicle compliance violations as | ||||||
20 | described in this subsection, automated traffic law violations | ||||||
21 | as defined in Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1, and | ||||||
22 | automated speed enforcement system violations as defined in | ||||||
23 | Section 11-208.8.
The administrative system shall have as its | ||||||
24 | purpose the fair and
efficient enforcement of municipal or | ||||||
25 | county regulations through the
administrative adjudication of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law | ||||||
2 | violations and violations of municipal or county ordinances
| ||||||
3 | regulating the standing and parking of vehicles, the condition | ||||||
4 | and use of
vehicle equipment, and the display of municipal or | ||||||
5 | county wheel tax licenses within the
municipality's
or county's | ||||||
6 | borders. The administrative system shall only have authority to | ||||||
7 | adjudicate
civil offenses carrying fines not in excess of $500 | ||||||
8 | or requiring the completion of a traffic education program, or | ||||||
9 | both, that occur after the
effective date of the ordinance | ||||||
10 | adopting such a system under this Section.
For purposes of this | ||||||
11 | Section, "compliance violation" means a violation of a
| ||||||
12 | municipal or county regulation governing the condition or use | ||||||
13 | of equipment on a vehicle
or governing the display of a | ||||||
14 | municipal or county wheel tax license.
| ||||||
15 | (b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative | ||||||
16 | adjudication
under this Section shall provide for:
| ||||||
17 | (1) A traffic compliance administrator authorized to
| ||||||
18 | adopt, distribute and
process parking, compliance, and | ||||||
19 | automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic | ||||||
20 | law violation notices and other notices required
by this
| ||||||
21 | Section, collect money paid as fines and penalties for | ||||||
22 | violation of parking
and compliance
ordinances and | ||||||
23 | automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic | ||||||
24 | law violations, and operate an administrative adjudication | ||||||
25 | system. The traffic
compliance
administrator also may make | ||||||
26 | a certified report to the Secretary of State
under Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 6-306.5.
| ||||||
2 | (2) A parking, standing, compliance, automated speed | ||||||
3 | enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation | ||||||
4 | notice
that
shall specify the date,
time, and place of | ||||||
5 | violation of a parking, standing,
compliance, automated | ||||||
6 | speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
| ||||||
7 | regulation; the particular regulation
violated; any | ||||||
8 | requirement to complete a traffic education program; the | ||||||
9 | fine and any penalty that may be assessed for late payment | ||||||
10 | or failure to complete a required traffic education | ||||||
11 | program, or both,
when so provided by ordinance; the | ||||||
12 | vehicle make and state registration
number; and the | ||||||
13 | identification number of the
person issuing the notice.
| ||||||
14 | With regard to automated speed enforcement system or | ||||||
15 | automated traffic law violations, vehicle make shall be | ||||||
16 | specified on the automated speed enforcement system or | ||||||
17 | automated traffic law violation notice if the make is | ||||||
18 | available and readily discernible. With regard to | ||||||
19 | municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million | ||||||
20 | or more, it
shall be grounds for
dismissal of a parking
| ||||||
21 | violation if the state registration number or vehicle make | ||||||
22 | specified is
incorrect. The violation notice shall state | ||||||
23 | that the completion of any required traffic education | ||||||
24 | program, the payment of any indicated
fine, and the payment | ||||||
25 | of any applicable penalty for late payment or failure to | ||||||
26 | complete a required traffic education program, or both, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall operate as a
final disposition of the violation. The | ||||||
2 | notice also shall contain
information as to the | ||||||
3 | availability of a hearing in which the violation may
be | ||||||
4 | contested on its merits. The violation notice shall specify | ||||||
5 | the
time and manner in which a hearing may be had.
| ||||||
6 | (3) Service of the parking, standing, or compliance
| ||||||
7 | violation notice by affixing the
original or a facsimile of | ||||||
8 | the notice to an unlawfully parked vehicle or by
handing | ||||||
9 | the notice to the operator of a vehicle if he or she is
| ||||||
10 | present and service of an automated speed enforcement | ||||||
11 | system or automated traffic law violation notice by mail to | ||||||
12 | the
address
of the registered owner or lessee of the cited | ||||||
13 | vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of
State or the | ||||||
14 | lessor of the motor vehicle within 30 days after the | ||||||
15 | Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle | ||||||
16 | notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the | ||||||
17 | owner or lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days | ||||||
18 | after the violation, except that in the case of a lessee of | ||||||
19 | a motor vehicle, service of an automated traffic law | ||||||
20 | violation notice may occur no later than 210 days after the | ||||||
21 | violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and | ||||||
22 | serve parking,
standing, and compliance
violation notices | ||||||
23 | shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered
on | ||||||
24 | the violation notice by signing his or her name to the | ||||||
25 | notice at
the time of service or in the case of a notice | ||||||
26 | produced by a computerized
device, by signing a single |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certificate to be kept by the traffic
compliance
| ||||||
2 | administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices | ||||||
3 | produced by the
device while it was under his or her | ||||||
4 | control. In the case of an automated traffic law violation, | ||||||
5 | the ordinance shall
require
a
determination by a technician | ||||||
6 | employed or contracted by the municipality or county that,
| ||||||
7 | based on inspection of recorded images, the motor vehicle | ||||||
8 | was being operated in
violation of Section 11-208.6, | ||||||
9 | 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance.
If the | ||||||
10 | technician determines that the
vehicle entered the | ||||||
11 | intersection as part of a funeral procession or in order to
| ||||||
12 | yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation | ||||||
13 | shall not be issued. In municipalities with a population of | ||||||
14 | less than 1,000,000 inhabitants and counties with a | ||||||
15 | population of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the | ||||||
16 | automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all | ||||||
17 | determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was | ||||||
18 | being operated in
violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, | ||||||
19 | or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and | ||||||
20 | approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law | ||||||
21 | enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing | ||||||
22 | the violation. In municipalities with a population of | ||||||
23 | 1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a | ||||||
24 | population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the automated | ||||||
25 | traffic law ordinance shall require that all | ||||||
26 | determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | being operated in
violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, | ||||||
2 | or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and | ||||||
3 | approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law | ||||||
4 | enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing | ||||||
5 | the violation or by an additional fully-trained reviewing | ||||||
6 | technician who is not employed by the contractor who | ||||||
7 | employs the technician who made the initial determination. | ||||||
8 | In the case of an automated speed enforcement system | ||||||
9 | violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a | ||||||
10 | technician employed by the municipality, based upon an | ||||||
11 | inspection of recorded images, video or other | ||||||
12 | documentation, including documentation of the speed limit | ||||||
13 | and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation | ||||||
14 | of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the | ||||||
15 | speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in | ||||||
16 | violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a | ||||||
17 | similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that | ||||||
18 | the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated, | ||||||
19 | certified speed equipment device based upon the speed | ||||||
20 | equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an emergency | ||||||
21 | vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The automated speed | ||||||
22 | enforcement ordinance shall require that all | ||||||
23 | determinations by a technician that a violation occurred be | ||||||
24 | reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or | ||||||
25 | retired law enforcement officer of the municipality | ||||||
26 | issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor | ||||||
2 | who employs the technician who made the initial | ||||||
3 | determination. Routine and independent calibration of the | ||||||
4 | speeds produced by automated speed enforcement systems and | ||||||
5 | equipment shall be conducted annually by a qualified | ||||||
6 | technician. Speeds produced by an automated speed | ||||||
7 | enforcement system shall be compared with speeds produced | ||||||
8 | by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or lidar | ||||||
9 | equipment shall undergo an internal validation test no less | ||||||
10 | frequently than once each week. Qualified technicians | ||||||
11 | shall test loop based equipment no less frequently than | ||||||
12 | once a year. Radar equipment shall be checked for accuracy | ||||||
13 | by a qualified technician when the unit is serviced, when | ||||||
14 | unusual or suspect readings persist, or when deemed | ||||||
15 | necessary by a reviewing technician. Radar equipment shall | ||||||
16 | be checked with the internal frequency generator and the | ||||||
17 | internal circuit test whenever the radar is turned on. | ||||||
18 | Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect | ||||||
19 | readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar | ||||||
20 | unit persist, that unit shall immediately be removed from | ||||||
21 | service and not returned to service until it has been | ||||||
22 | checked by a qualified technician and determined to be | ||||||
23 | functioning properly. Documentation of the annual | ||||||
24 | calibration results, including the equipment tested, test | ||||||
25 | date, technician performing the test, and test results, | ||||||
26 | shall be maintained and available for use in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determination of an automated speed enforcement system | ||||||
2 | violation and issuance of a citation. The technician | ||||||
3 | performing the calibration and testing of the automated | ||||||
4 | speed enforcement equipment shall be trained and certified | ||||||
5 | in the use of equipment for speed enforcement purposes. | ||||||
6 | Training on the speed enforcement equipment may be | ||||||
7 | conducted by law enforcement, civilian, or manufacturer's | ||||||
8 | personnel and if applicable may be equivalent to the | ||||||
9 | equipment use and operations training included in the Speed | ||||||
10 | Measuring Device Operator Program developed by the | ||||||
11 | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). | ||||||
12 | The vendor or technician who performs the work shall keep | ||||||
13 | accurate records on each piece of equipment the technician | ||||||
14 | calibrates and tests. As used in this paragraph, | ||||||
15 | "fully-trained reviewing technician" means a person who | ||||||
16 | has received at least 40 hours of supervised training in | ||||||
17 | subjects which shall include image inspection and | ||||||
18 | interpretation, the elements necessary to prove a | ||||||
19 | violation, license plate identification, and traffic | ||||||
20 | safety and management. In all municipalities and counties, | ||||||
21 | the automated speed enforcement system or automated | ||||||
22 | traffic law ordinance shall require that no additional fee | ||||||
23 | shall be charged to the alleged violator for exercising his | ||||||
24 | or her right to an administrative hearing, and persons | ||||||
25 | shall be given at least 25 days following an administrative | ||||||
26 | hearing to pay any civil penalty imposed by a finding that |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a | ||||||
2 | similar local ordinance has been violated. The original or | ||||||
3 | a
facsimile of the violation notice or, in the case of a | ||||||
4 | notice produced by a
computerized device, a printed record | ||||||
5 | generated by the device showing the facts
entered on the | ||||||
6 | notice, shall be retained by the
traffic compliance
| ||||||
7 | administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary | ||||||
8 | course of
business. A parking, standing, compliance, | ||||||
9 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic | ||||||
10 | law violation notice issued,
signed and served in
| ||||||
11 | accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the | ||||||
12 | computer
generated record shall be prima facie
correct and | ||||||
13 | shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the | ||||||
14 | facts
shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer | ||||||
15 | generated
record shall be admissible in any
subsequent | ||||||
16 | administrative or legal proceedings.
| ||||||
17 | (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered | ||||||
18 | owner of the
vehicle cited in the parking, standing, | ||||||
19 | compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or | ||||||
20 | automated traffic law violation notice in
which the owner | ||||||
21 | may
contest the merits of the alleged violation, and during | ||||||
22 | which formal or
technical rules of evidence shall not | ||||||
23 | apply; provided, however, that under
Section 11-1306 of | ||||||
24 | this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited in the
violation | ||||||
25 | notice likewise shall be provided an opportunity for a | ||||||
26 | hearing of
the same kind afforded the registered owner. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hearings shall be
recorded, and the person conducting the | ||||||
2 | hearing on behalf of the traffic
compliance
administrator | ||||||
3 | shall be empowered to administer oaths and to secure by
| ||||||
4 | subpoena both the attendance and testimony of witnesses and | ||||||
5 | the production
of relevant books and papers. Persons | ||||||
6 | appearing at a hearing under this
Section may be | ||||||
7 | represented by counsel at their expense. The ordinance may
| ||||||
8 | also provide for internal administrative review following | ||||||
9 | the decision of
the hearing officer.
| ||||||
10 | (5) Service of additional notices, sent by first class | ||||||
11 | United States
mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the | ||||||
12 | registered owner of the cited
vehicle as recorded with the | ||||||
13 | Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is | ||||||
14 | returned as undeliverable, to the last known address | ||||||
15 | recorded in a United States Post Office approved database,

11 | following form:
| ||||||
12 | "NOTICE OF YOUR RIGHT TO A PRE-SUSPENSION HEARING | ||||||

2 | final
determination of violation liability shall occur | ||||||
3 | following failure to complete the required traffic | ||||||

to pay the fine or penalty, or both, | ||||||
5 | after a hearing officer's determination of violation | ||||||
6 | liability and the exhaustion of or failure to exhaust any
| ||||||
7 | administrative review procedures provided by ordinance. | ||||||

10 | prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's
determination | ||||||
11 | of violation liability shall become final: (A) upon

| ||||||
15 | (8) A petition to set aside a determination of parking, | ||||||
16 | standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, | ||||||

The petition shall be filed with and | ||||||
22 | ruled upon by the traffic compliance

The | ||||||
24 | grounds for the petition may be limited to: (A) the person | ||||||
25 | not having
been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the date the

With regard to | ||||||
6 | municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million | ||||||
7 | or more, it
shall be grounds for
dismissal of a
parking | ||||||
8 | violation if the state registration number, or vehicle make | ||||||
9 | if specified, is
incorrect. After the determination of
| ||||||
10 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
11 | system, or automated traffic law violation liability has | ||||||
12 | been set aside
upon a showing of just
cause, the registered | ||||||

Section, and a
| ||||||
23 | schedule of penalties for late payment of the fines or | ||||||
24 | failure to complete required traffic education programs, | ||||||
25 | provided, however,
that the total amount of the fine and | ||||||
26 | penalty for any one violation shall
not exceed $250, except |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 of this | ||||||
2 | Code.

compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
8 | system, or automated traffic law
regulations under this Section | ||||||
9 | may also provide by ordinance for a
program of vehicle | ||||||
10 | immobilization for the purpose of facilitating
enforcement of | ||||||
11 | those regulations. The program of vehicle
immobilization shall | ||||||
12 | provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the
public | ||||||
13 | way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation | ||||||
14 | of
the vehicle. Any ordinance establishing a program of vehicle
| ||||||
15 | immobilization under this Section shall provide:
| ||||||
16 | (1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible | ||||||
17 | for
immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for | ||||||
18 | immobilization when the
registered owner of the vehicle has | ||||||
19 | accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education | ||||||
20 | programs or unpaid final
determinations of parking, | ||||||
21 | standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, | ||||||
22 | or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, as
| ||||||
23 | determined by ordinance.
| ||||||
24 | (2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and a | ||||||
25 | right to a
hearing to challenge the validity of the notice | ||||||
26 | by disproving liability
for the incomplete traffic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | education programs or unpaid final determinations of | ||||||
2 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
3 | system, or automated traffic law
violation liability, or | ||||||
4 | both, listed
on the notice.
| ||||||
5 | (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has | ||||||
6 | been immobilized
or subsequently towed without the | ||||||
7 | completion of the required traffic education program or | ||||||
8 | payment of the outstanding fines and
penalties on parking, | ||||||
9 | standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, | ||||||
10 | or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which | ||||||
11 | final
determinations have been
issued. An order issued | ||||||
12 | after the hearing is a final administrative
decision within | ||||||
13 | the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil | ||||||
14 | Procedure.
| ||||||
15 | (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice | ||||||
16 | advising the registered
owner of the vehicle of the right | ||||||
17 | to a hearing to challenge the validity
of the impoundment.
| ||||||
18 | (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking, | ||||||
19 | standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or | ||||||
20 | automated traffic law
violations and final administrative | ||||||
21 | decisions issued after hearings
regarding vehicle | ||||||
22 | immobilization and impoundment made
under this Section shall be | ||||||
23 | subject to the provisions of
the Administrative Review Law.
| ||||||
24 | (e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education | ||||||
25 | program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining
unpaid | ||||||
26 | after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administrative
remedies created under this Section and the | ||||||
2 | conclusion of any judicial
review procedures shall be a debt | ||||||
3 | due and owing the municipality or county and, as
such, may be | ||||||
4 | collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any | ||||||
5 | required traffic education program and payment in full
of any | ||||||
6 | fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking,
compliance, | ||||||
7 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law | ||||||
8 | violation shall
constitute a final disposition of that | ||||||
9 | violation.
| ||||||
10 | (f) After the expiration of the period within which | ||||||
11 | judicial review may
be sought for a final determination of | ||||||
12 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
13 | system, or automated traffic law
violation, the municipality
or | ||||||
14 | county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for | ||||||
15 | purposes of obtaining a
judgment on the final determination of | ||||||
16 | violation. Nothing in this
Section shall prevent a municipality | ||||||
17 | or county from consolidating multiple final
determinations of | ||||||
18 | parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
19 | system, or automated traffic law violations against a
person in | ||||||
20 | a proceeding.
Upon commencement of the action, the municipality | ||||||
21 | or county shall file a certified
copy or record of the final | ||||||
22 | determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated | ||||||
23 | speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violation, | ||||||
24 | which shall be
accompanied by a certification that recites | ||||||
25 | facts sufficient to show that
the final determination of | ||||||
26 | violation was
issued in accordance with this Section and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applicable municipal
or county ordinance. Service of the | ||||||
2 | summons and a copy of the petition may be by
any method | ||||||
3 | provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by
| ||||||
4 | certified mail, return receipt requested, provided that the | ||||||
5 | total amount of
fines and penalties for final determinations of | ||||||
6 | parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
7 | system, or automated traffic law violations does not
exceed | ||||||
8 | $2500. If the court is satisfied that the final determination | ||||||
9 | of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement | ||||||
10 | system, or automated traffic law violation was entered in | ||||||
11 | accordance with
the requirements of
this Section and the | ||||||
12 | applicable municipal or county ordinance, and that the | ||||||
13 | registered
owner or the lessee, as the case may be, had an | ||||||
14 | opportunity for an
administrative hearing and for judicial | ||||||
15 | review as provided in this Section,
the court shall render | ||||||
16 | judgment in favor of the municipality or county and against
the | ||||||
17 | registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in the | ||||||
18 | final
determination of parking, standing, compliance, | ||||||
19 | automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law | ||||||
20 | violation, plus costs.
The judgment shall have
the same effect | ||||||
21 | and may be enforced in the same manner as other judgments
for | ||||||
22 | the recovery of money.
| ||||||
23 | (g) The fee for participating in a traffic education | ||||||
24 | program under this Section shall not exceed $25. | ||||||
25 | A low-income individual required to complete a traffic | ||||||
26 | education program under this Section who provides proof of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under | ||||||
2 | Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned | ||||||
3 | income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax | ||||||
4 | Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a | ||||||
5 | required traffic education program. | ||||||
