625 ILCS 5/ Illinois Vehicle Code.

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.

Availability of Judicial Review.

(1) Standing to Seek Judicial Review.
No person shall have standing to seek judicial review of a
Commission action unless such person shall have an
administratively cognizable interest in the order, be aggrieved
by it, and have exhausted its administrative remedies.  A
person admitted as a party to an administrative proceeding
shall be presumed to have an administratively cognizable
interest in orders issued in the proceeding for purposes of
standing to seek judicial review.

(2) Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies.
A person shall be deemed to have exhausted its administrative
remedies only if:

(a) The person participated as a party to the proceeding
before the Commission, or filed a timely pleading
seeking to participate as a party and was entitled as
matter of right to participate as a party;

(b) The person filed a timely motion for reconsideration or
rehearing which was denied by the Commission or by
operation of law, unless the Commission expressly waived
the filing of such a motion; and

(c) The action of which judicial review is sought is, in all
respects, a final order of the Commission.

(3) Deadline for Filing Petitions for Judicial Review.
A petition for judicial review must be filed within
35 days after the order of the Commission becomes final.

(4) Remedy Exclusive.
Judicial review as provided for under this Article shall be
exclusive of all other remedies at law or equity in regard to
review of Commission actions, regulations or orders.

Submission of the Administrative Record.

It shall be

Stay of Action Pending Judicial Review.

(1) Commission Orders Not Stayed by Filing of Appeal.
The filing or pendency of a petition for judicial review
shall not of itself stay, suspend, restrain or enjoin the
operation of a rule, regulation, order or decision of the
Commission.

(2) Power of Court to Stay Commission Orders.
During the pendency of a petition for judicial review the
reviewing court in its discretion may, except as provided in
this subsection, stay, suspend, restrain or enjoin, in whole
or in part, the operation of a Commission regulation or
order.  No order staying, suspending, restraining or
enjoining a Commission regulation or order shall be made by the
court except upon 3 days' actual notice to the Commission
and the Attorney General and after hearing.
Where the Commission action relates to enforcement of this Chapter, the
reviewing court shall not stay, suspend, restrain or
enjoin the action of the Commission for a period longer than 180
days from the filing of the appeal; unless at the expiration of the initial
180 day period, the court finds that continuation is necessary for the
informed and just resolution of the issues; and unless the court does
continue the stay, suspension, restraint, or injunction in effect for one
or more definite periods of time not to exceed 180 days each.

(3) Bond Required.  In case an action, regulation or order of the Commission
is stayed, suspended, restrained, or enjoined, the order of the court shall
not become effective until a bond shall first have been executed and filed
with and approved by the court, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph.
Where the order under review does not relate to enforcement of this law,
the court may, for good cause, waive the requirement of a bond.
