10    Secretary of State  is  presented  with  a  notice  from  the
11    municipality  certifying  that  the  fine  or penalty due and

33    failure  to  satisfy  any  fine  or  penalty imposed by final
34    judgment for 10 or more violations  of  local  standing,  and

13        (g)  Any   municipality,   other   than   a  municipality
14    establishing   standing,   and   parking,   and    compliance
15    regulations  pursuant  to  Section  11-208.3,  may provide by
16    ordinance for the sending of a notice  of  impending  drivers

18    any fine or penalty imposed by final judgment for 10 or  more
19    violations  of  local  standing,  and  parking, or compliance
20    regulations after exhaustion of judicial  review  procedures.
21    An  ordinance so providing shall specify that the notice sent
22    to the person liable for any fine or penalty shall state that
23    failure to pay the fine or penalty owing within  45  days  of
24    the  notice's  date will result in the municipality notifying
25    the Secretary of State that the person's drivers  license  is
26    eligible  for suspension pursuant to this Section. The notice
27    of impending drivers license  suspension  shall  be  sent  by
