Within 15 days after such delivery the sheriff shall give | ||

method: Upon each such person
whose right, title or interest is | ||
of record in the office of the Secretary
of State, the | ||
Secretary of Transportation, the Administrator of the Federal
| ||
Aviation Agency, or any other Department of this State, or any | ||
other state
of the United States if such vessel, vehicle or | ||
aircraft is required to be
so registered, as the case may be, | ||
by mailing a copy of the notice by
certified mail to the | ||
address as given upon the records of the Secretary of
State, | ||
the Department of Aeronautics, Department of Public Works and
| ||
Buildings or any other Department of this State or the United | ||
States if
such vessel, vehicle or aircraft is required to be so | ||
registered. Within
that 15 day period the sheriff shall also | ||
notify the State's Attorney of
the county of seizure about the | ||
seizure.
| ||
In addition, any mobile or portable equipment used in the | ||
commission of an
act which is in violation of Section 7g of the | ||
Metropolitan Water Reclamation
District Act shall be subject to | ||
seizure and forfeiture under the same
procedures provided in | ||
this Article for the seizure and forfeiture of vessels,
| ||
vehicles and aircraft, and any such equipment shall be deemed a | ||
vessel, vehicle
or aircraft for purposes of this Article.
| ||
When a person discharges a firearm at another individual | ||
from a vehicle with
the knowledge and consent of the owner of | ||
the vehicle and with the intent to
cause death or great bodily | ||
harm to that individual and as a result causes
death or great | ||
bodily harm to that individual, the vehicle shall be subject to
| ||
seizure and forfeiture under the same procedures provided in | ||
this Article for
the seizure and forfeiture of vehicles used in | ||
violations of clauses (a), (b),
(c), or (d) of this Section.
| ||
If the spouse of the owner of a vehicle seized for
an | ||
offense described in subsection (g) of Section 6-303 of the
| ||
Illinois Vehicle Code,
a violation of
subdivision (c-1)(1), | ||
(c-1)(2), (c-1)(3), (d)(1)(A), or (d)(1)(D), (d)(1)(G), | ||
(d)(1)(H), or (d)(1)(I)
of Section 11-501 of the Illinois | ||
Vehicle
Code, or Section 9-3 of this
Code makes a showing
that | ||
the seized vehicle is the only source of transportation and it | ||
is
determined that the financial hardship to the family as a | ||
result of the seizure
outweighs the benefit to the State from | ||
the seizure, the vehicle may be
forfeited to the spouse or | ||
family member and the title to the vehicle shall be
transferred | ||
to the spouse or family member who is properly licensed and who
| ||
requires the use of the vehicle for employment or family | ||
transportation
purposes. A written declaration of forfeiture | ||
of a vehicle under this
Section shall be sufficient cause for | ||
the title to be transferred to the spouse
or family member. The | ||
provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to one
forfeiture | ||
per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a subsequent
| ||
forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent conviction of | ||
either spouse or
the family member, the spouse or family member | ||
to whom the vehicle was
forfeited under the first forfeiture | ||
proceeding may not utilize the
provisions of this paragraph in | ||
another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of
the vehicle | ||
seized owns more than one vehicle,
the procedure set out in | ||
this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
| ||
Property declared contraband under Section 40 of the | ||
Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act may be | ||
seized and forfeited under this
Article.
