4 a certified report to the Secretary of State upon a person's
5 failure to satisfy any fine or penalty imposed by final
6 judgment for 10 or more violations of local standing, and
7 parking, or compliance regulations after exhaustion of
8 judicial review procedures, but only if:

24 any fine or penalty imposed by final judgment for 10 or more
25 violations of local standing, and parking, or compliance
26 regulations after exhaustion of judicial review procedures.
27 An ordinance so providing shall specify that the notice sent
28 to the person liable for any fine or penalty shall state that
29 failure to pay the fine or penalty owing within 45 days of
30 the notice's date will result in the municipality notifying
31 the Secretary of State that the person's drivers license is
32 eligible for suspension pursuant to this Section. The notice
33 of impending drivers license suspension shall be sent by
34 first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
-15- LRB9000653PTcwam03
1 address recorded with the Secretary of State.

3 suspension or a suspension made pursuant to this Section may
4 be had upon filing a written request with the Secretary of
5 State. The filing fee for this hearing shall be $20, to be
6 paid at the time the request is made. A municipality which
7 files a certified report with the Secretary of State pursuant
8 to this Section shall reimburse the Secretary for all
9 reasonable costs incurred by the Secretary as a result of the
10 filing of the report, including but not limited to the costs
11 of providing the notice required pursuant to subsection (b)
