Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 7-609.
Exemption for certain religious organizations.
(a) Pursuant
to the following minimum criteria, the Secretary may exempt from the
provisions of Section 7-601 of this Code motor vehicles owned by a
religious organization or its members:
(1) The religious organization and its members hold a bona fide conviction that the
acquisition of insurance is contrary to their religious beliefs.
(2) The religious organization and its members submit to the Secretary
evidence that historically, over a period of time not less than two years,
they have paid or, by agreement with the other party or parties involved,
are paying in a timely manner for all damages for which they were or are liable.
(3) The religious organization has filed with the Secretary a current,
irrevocable letter of credit, valid for a period of 12 months and issued in
accordance with this Section and Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code,
approved July 31, 1961, as amended, by a financial institution chartered by
an agency of State or federal government. The Secretary of State by rule
and regulation shall establish the minimum amount of credit required.
(4) The religious organization and its members meet other requirement
which the Secretary by rule and regulation may prescribe.
(b) Upon accepting a letter of credit from a religious organization, the
Secretary shall issue a certificate of exemption for each motor vehicle
covered. The certificate of exemption shall serve as evidence of insurance
in accordance with Section 7-602 of this Code.
Not less than 30 days before a current letter of credit expires, or by
agreement between the issuer and customer is revoked, the religious
organization shall file with the Secretary a new letter of credit. If a new
letter of credit is not on file with the Secretary at the time the current
letter of credit expires or is revoked, the exemption of the religious
organization and its members shall expire and their certificates of
exemption shall become invalid.
(c) If credit is used to the extent that the remaining amount of credit
does not meet the minimum requirements of this Section, and the issuer
declines to reinstate the used portion of the credit or issue a new letter
of credit, the issuer immediately shall send written notice to the customer
and the Secretary that the current letter of credit on file with the
Secretary no longer meets the minimum requirements of the law.
If, within 30 days of receiving the notice, the Secretary has not
received and accepted a new letter of credit from the customer, the
exemption of that religious organization and its members shall expire and
their certificates of exemption shall become invalid.
(d) Upon the request of the plaintiff, if a person, known by the court
to be covered by a current letter of credit issued pursuant to this
Section fails to pay a judgment for damages within 30 days after the
judgment has become final, the clerk of the court within 10 days shall
forward to the Secretary a report of the person's failure to pay. The
report shall indicate that the person is covered by a letter of credit and,
if known by the court, the names of the issuer and the customer.
Upon receiving the report from the court, the Secretary shall notify the
religious organization that, unless the payment is made, 30 days after the
date of the mailing of the notice the exemption of the religious
organization and its members shall be terminated and their certificates of
exemption shall become invalid. If within the 30 days the religious
organization does not submit evidence that the payment has been made, or
furnish valid reasons why the payment has been delayed or not made, the
Secretary shall terminate the exemptions.
(e) The Secretary is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the provisions of this Section.

FAMILY FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAW
|
625 ILCS 5/7-701
(625 ILCS 5/7-701)
Sec. 7-701. Findings and purpose. The General Assembly finds that
the timely receipt of adequate financial support has the effect of reducing
poverty and State expenditures for welfare dependency among children, and that
the timely payment of adequate child support demonstrates financial
responsibility. Further, the General Assembly finds that the State has a
compelling interest in ensuring that drivers within the State demonstrate
financial responsibility, including family financial responsibility, in order
to safely own and operate a motor vehicle. Further, the General Assembly finds that the State has a compelling interest in ensuring that those individuals with responsibilities involving minor children pursuant to visitation orders demonstrate responsibility, including family responsibility, in order to safely own and operate a motor vehicle, especially when transporting a minor child who is the subject of a visitation order. To this end, the
Secretary of State
is authorized to establish systems to suspend
driver's licenses for failure to
comply with court and administrative orders of support.

pay
support or to comply with a visitation order. (a) The Secretary of State shall suspend the driver's license
issued to an obligor upon receiving an authenticated report
provided for in subsection (a) of Section 7-703, that the person is 90
days or more delinquent in court ordered child
support payments or has been adjudicated in arrears in an amount
equal to 90 days obligation or more, and has been found in contempt by
the court for failure to pay the support.
(b) The Secretary of State shall suspend the driver's license issued to an
obligor upon receiving an authenticated document provided for in subsection (b)
of Section 7-703, that the person has been adjudicated in arrears in court
ordered child support payments in an amount equal to 90 days obligation or
more,
but has not been held in contempt of court, and that the court has ordered that
the person's driving privileges be suspended. The obligor's driver's license
shall be suspended until such time as the Secretary of State receives
authenticated documentation that the obligor is in compliance with the court
order of support. When the obligor complies with the court ordered child
support
payments, the circuit court shall report the obligor's compliance with the
court order of support to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the
Secretary of State, and shall order that the obligor's driver's license be
reinstated.
(c) The Secretary of State shall suspend a driver's license upon certification by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, in a manner and form prescribed by the Illinois Secretary of State, that the person licensed is 90 days or more delinquent in payment of support under an order of support issued by a court or administrative body of this or any other State.

625 ILCS 5/7-702.1 (625 ILCS 5/7-702.1) Sec. 7-702.1. Family financial responsibility driving permits. (a) Following
the entry of an order that an obligor has been found in contempt by the court for failure to pay court ordered child
support payments or upon a motion by the obligor who is subject to having his
or her
driver's license suspended pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 7-703, the
court may enter an order directing the
Secretary of State to issue a family financial responsibility
driving permit for the purpose of providing the obligor the
privilege of operating a motor vehicle between the obligor's
residence and place of employment, or within the scope of
employment related duties; or for the purpose of providing
transportation for the obligor or a household member to receive
alcohol treatment, other drug treatment, or medical care. If the obligor is unemployed, the court may issue the order for the purpose of seeking employment, which may be subject to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505.1 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Except upon a showing of good cause, any permit issued for the purpose of seeking employment shall be limited to Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. The
court may enter an order directing the issuance of a permit only if
the obligor has proven to the satisfaction of the court that no
alternative means of transportation are reasonably available for
the above stated purposes. No permit shall be issued to a person under the
age of 16 years who possesses an instruction permit. Upon entry of an order granting the issuance of a permit to an
obligor, the court shall report this finding to the Secretary of
State on a form prescribed by the Secretary. This form shall state
whether the permit has been granted for employment or medical
purposes and the specific days and hours for which limited driving
privileges have been granted. (a-1) Following the entry of an order that a person has been found in contempt by the court for failure to follow a visitation order, the court may enter an order directing the Secretary of State to issue a family responsibility driving permit for the purpose of providing the person the privilege of operating a motor vehicle between the person's residence and place of employment or within the scope of employment related duties, or for the purpose of providing transportation for the person or a household member to receive alcohol treatment, other drug treatment, or medical care. If the person is unemployed, the court may issue the order for the purpose of seeking employment, which may be subject to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505.1 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Except upon a showing of good cause, any permit issued for the purpose of seeking employment shall be limited to Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. The court may enter an order directing the issuance of a permit only if the person has proven to the satisfaction of the court that no alternative means of transportation are reasonably available for the above stated purposes. No permit shall be issued to a person under the age of 16 years who possesses an instruction permit. Upon entry of an order granting the issuance of a permit to a person, the court shall report this finding to the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary. This form shall state whether the permit has been granted for employment or medical purposes and the specific days and hours for which limited driving privileges have been granted. (a-2) The family financial responsibility driving permit shall be subject
to cancellation, invalidation, suspension, and revocation by the
Secretary of State in the same manner and for the same reasons as
a driver's license may be cancelled, invalidated, suspended, or
revoked. The Secretary of State shall, upon receipt of a certified court
order from the court of jurisdiction, issue a family financial
responsibility driving permit. In order for this permit to be
issued, an individual's driving privileges must be valid except for
the family financial responsibility suspension or the family responsibility suspension. This permit shall
be valid only for employment and medical purposes as set forth
above. The permit shall state the days and hours for which limited
driving privileges have been granted. Any submitted court order that contains insufficient data or fails
to comply with any provision of this Code shall not
be used for issuance of the permit or entered to the individual's
driving record but shall be returned to the court of jurisdiction
indicating why the permit cannot be issued at that time. The
Secretary of State shall also send notice of the return of the
court order to the individual requesting the permit. (b) Following certification of delinquency pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 7-702 of this Code, and upon petition by the obligor whose driver's license has been suspended under that subsection, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may direct the Secretary of State to issue a family financial responsibility driving permit for the purpose of providing the obligor the privilege of operating a motor vehicle between the obligor's residence and place of employment, or within the scope of employment related duties, or for the purpose of providing transportation for the obligor or a household member to receive alcohol treatment, other drug treatment, or medical care. If the obligor is unemployed, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services may direct the issuance of the permit for the purpose of seeking employment, which may be subject to the requirements set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505.1 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Except upon a showing of good cause, any permit issued for the purpose of seeking employment shall be limited to Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services may direct the issuance of a permit only if the obligor has proven to the Department's satisfaction that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably available for the above stated purposes. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall report to the Secretary of State the finding granting a permit on a form prescribed by the
Secretary of State. The form shall state the purpose for which the permit has been granted, the specific days and hours for which limited driving privileges are allowed, and the duration of the permit. The family financial responsibility driving permit shall be subject to cancellation, invalidation, suspension, and
revocation by the Secretary of State in the same manner and for the same reasons as a driver's license may be cancelled, invalidated, suspended, or revoked. As directed by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the Secretary of State shall issue a family financial responsibility driving permit, but only if the obligor's driving privileges are valid except for the family financial responsibility suspension. The permit shall state the purpose or purposes for which it was granted under this subsection, the specific days and hours for which limited driving privileges are allowed, and the duration of the permit. If the Department of Healthcare and Family Services directive to issue a family financial responsibility driving permit contains insufficient data or fails to comply with any provision of this Code, a permit shall not be issued and the directive shall be returned to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services. The Secretary of State shall also send notice of the return of the
Department's directive to the obligor requesting the permit. (c) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. Part 384, the Secretary of State may not issue a family financial
responsibility driving permit to any person for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle if the person's driving privileges have been suspended under any provisions of this Code. (Source: P.A. 96-1284, eff. 1-1-11; 97-1047, eff. 8-21-12.) |
