1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
2 Section 7-606.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
6 changing Section 7-606 as follows:
7 (625 ILCS 5/7-606) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 7-606)
8 Sec. 7-606. Uninsured motor vehicles - suspension and
9 reinstatement. The Secretary shall suspend the vehicle
10 registration of any motor vehicle determined by the Secretary
11 to be in violation of Section 7-601 of this Code, including
12 any motor vehicle operated in violation of Section 3-707,
13 3-708 or 3-710 of this Code by an operator other than the
14 owner of the vehicle. Neither the fact that, subsequent to
15 the date of verification or conviction, the owner acquired
16 the required liability insurance policy nor the fact that the
17 owner terminated ownership of the motor vehicle shall have
18 any bearing upon the Secretary's decision to suspend.
19 The Secretary is authorized to suspend the registration
20 of any motor vehicle registered in this State upon receiving
21 notice of the conviction of the operator of the motor vehicle
22 in another State of an offense which, if committed in this
23 State, would constitute a violation of Section 7-601 of this
24 Code.
25 Until it is terminated, the suspension shall remain in
26 force after the registration is renewed or a new registration
27 is acquired for the motor vehicle. The suspension also shall
28 apply to any motor vehicle to which the owner transfers the
29 registration.
30 In the case of a first violation, the Secretary shall
31 terminate the suspension upon payment by the owner of a

1 reinstatement fee of $100 and submission of proof of
2 insurance as prescribed by the Secretary. However, the
3 Secretary may not terminate the suspension if the uninsured
4 motor vehicle was involved in a motor vehicle accident until,
5 in addition, any tow truck has been reimbursed for towing the
6 uninsured motor vehicle.
7 In the case of a second or subsequent violation by a
8 person having ownership interest in a motor vehicle or
9 vehicles within the preceding 4 years, or a violation of
10 Section 3-708 of this Code, the Secretary shall terminate the
11 suspension 4 months after its effective date upon payment by
12 the owner of a reinstatement fee of $100 and submission of
13 proof of insurance as prescribed by the Secretary. However,
14 the Secretary may not terminate the suspension if the
15 uninsured motor vehicle was involved in a motor vehicle
16 accident until, in addition, any tow truck has been
17 reimbursed for towing the uninsured motor vehicle.
18 All fees collected under this Section shall be deposited
19 into the Road Fund of the State treasury.
