8 Sec. 2-118.1. Opportunity for hearing; statutory summary
9 alcohol or other drug related suspension.
10 (a) A statutory summary suspension of driving privileges
11 under Section 11-501.1 shall not become effective until the
12 person is notified in writing of the impending suspension and
13 informed that he may request a hearing in the circuit court
14 of venue under paragraph (b) of this Section and the
15 statutory summary suspension shall become effective as
16 provided in Section 11-501.1.
17 (b) Within 90 days after the notice of statutory summary
18 suspension served under Section 11-501.1, the person may make
19 a written request for a judicial hearing in the circuit court
20 of venue. The request to the circuit court shall state the
21 grounds upon which the person seeks to have the statutory
22 summary suspension rescinded. Within 30 days after receipt of
23 the written request or the first appearance date on the
24 Uniform Traffic Ticket issued pursuant to a violation of
25 Section 11-501, or a similar provision of a local ordinance,
26 the hearing shall be conducted by the circuit court having
27 jurisdiction. This judicial hearing, request, or process
28 shall not stay or delay the statutory summary suspension. The
29 hearings shall proceed in the court in the same manner as in
30 other civil proceedings.
31 The hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law

1 enforcement officer's own official reports; provided however,
2 that the person may subpoena the officer. Failure of the
3 officer to answer the subpoena shall be considered grounds
4 for a continuance if in the court's discretion the
5 continuance is appropriate.
6 The scope of the hearing shall be limited to the issues
7 of:
8 1. Whether the person was placed under arrest for
9 an offense as defined in Section 11-501, or a similar
10 provision of a local ordinance, as evidenced by the
11 issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, or issued a Uniform
12 Traffic Ticket out of state as provided in subsection (a)
13 of Section 11-501.1; and
14 2. Whether the officer had reasonable grounds to
15 believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
16 control of a motor vehicle upon a highway while under the
17 influence of alcohol, other drug, or combination of both;
18 and
19 3. Whether the person, after being advised by the
20 officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
21 would be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
22 complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
23 complete the test or tests to determine the person's
24 alcohol or drug concentration; or
25 4. Whether the person, after being advised by the
26 officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
27 would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical
28 test, or tests, and the test discloses an alcohol
29 concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug,
30 substance, or compound in the person's blood or urine
31 resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
32 cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act or a
33 controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
34 Substances Act, and the person did submit to and complete
-3- LRB9100087KSgc
1 the test or tests that determined an alcohol
2 concentration of 0.08 or more.
3 Upon the conclusion of the judicial hearing, the circuit
4 court shall sustain or rescind the statutory summary
5 suspension and immediately notify the Secretary of State.
6 Rescission of the statutory summary suspension shall render
7 the suspension void as of the effective date of the
8 suspension. Reports received by the Secretary of State under
9 this Section shall be privileged information and for use only
10 by the courts, police officers, and Secretary of State.
