Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a person is guilty of a non-probationary Class 3 felony (rather than a Class 4 felony) when the person is convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination thereof (prohibited substances), (rather than the person being convicted of a DUI violation for a second time) and has previously been convicted of reckless homicide or a similar provision of a law of another state in which the person was determined to have been under the influence of prohibited substances as an element of the offense, or in committing a DUI violation, the person was involved in a motor vehicle, snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle, or watercraft accident that resulted in the death of another person, when the DUI violation was a proximate cause of the death. Provides that evidence of a person's blood, urine, breath or other bodily substance concentration of prohibited substances is admissible when gathered by a trained phlebotomist (rather than a trained phlebotomist acting under the direction of a licensed physician) in any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of an DUI arrest. Provides that blood or urine tests (rather than only blood tests) performed for the purpose of determining the concentration of prohibited substances are admissible evidence as a business record exception to the hearsay rule in prosecutions for a DUI violation or a similar provision of a local ordinance, or in prosecutions for reckless homicide and makes corresponding changes in the Boat Registration and Safety Act and Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act. Effective immediately.
