1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Section 16-104a as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (625 ILCS 5/16-104a) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 16-104a)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 16-104a. Additional penalty for certain violations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) There is added
to every fine imposed upon conviction of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | an offense reportable to the
Secretary of State under the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | provisions of subdivision (a) (2) of
Section 6-204 of this Act | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | an additional penalty of $4 for each $40, or fraction
thereof, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | of fine imposed. Each such additional penalty received shall be
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | remitted within one month to the State Treasurer to be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | deposited into the
Drivers Education Fund, unless the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | additional penalty is subject to
disbursement by the circuit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | clerk under Section 27.5 of the Clerks of
Courts Act. Such | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | additional amounts shall be assessed by the
court and shall be | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | collected by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in addition
to the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | fine and costs in the case. Such additional penalty shall not | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | be
considered a part of the fine for purposes of any reduction | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | made in the
fine for time served either before or after | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | sentencing. Not later than
March 1 of each year the Clerk of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | the Circuit Court shall submit to the
State Comptroller a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | report of the amount of funds remitted by him to the
State | ||||||
2 | Treasurer under this Section during the preceding calendar | ||||||
3 | year.
Except as otherwise provided by Supreme Court Rules, if a | ||||||
4 | court in
sentencing an offender levies a gross amount for fine, | ||||||
5 | costs, fees and
penalties, the amount of the additional penalty | ||||||
6 | provided for herein shall
be computed on the amount remaining | ||||||
7 | after deducting from the gross amount
levied all fees of the | ||||||
8 | Circuit Clerk, the State's Attorney and the Sheriff.
After | ||||||
9 | deducting from the gross amount levied the fees and additional
| ||||||
10 | penalty provided for herein, less any other additional | ||||||
11 | penalties provided
by law, the clerk shall remit the net | ||||||
12 | balance remaining to the entity
authorized by law to receive | ||||||
13 | the fine imposed in the case. For purposes of
this Section | ||||||
14 | "fees of the Circuit Clerk" shall include, if applicable, the
| ||||||
15 | fee provided for under Section 27.3a of the Clerks of Courts | ||||||
16 | Act and the
fee, if applicable, payable to the county in which | ||||||
17 | the violation occurred
pursuant to Section 5-1101 of the | ||||||
18 | Counties Code.
| ||||||
19 | When bail is forfeited for failure to appear in connection
| ||||||
20 | with an offense reportable to the Secretary of State under | ||||||
21 | subdivision (a)
(2) of Section 6-204 of this Act, and no fine | ||||||
22 | is imposed ex parte, $4
of
every $40 cash deposit, or fraction | ||||||
23 | thereof, given to secure appearance
shall be remitted within | ||||||
24 | one month to the State Treasurer
to be deposited into the | ||||||
25 | Drivers Education Fund, unless the bail is
subject to | ||||||
26 | disbursement by the circuit clerk under Section 27.5 of the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Clerks of Courts Act.
| ||||||
2 | (b) In addition to any other fine or penalty required by | ||||||
3 | law, an individual convicted of a violation of Section 11-503 | ||||||
4 | or 11-601.5 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | ||||||
5 | ordinance and the violation proximately caused an incident | ||||||
6 | resulting in an appropriate emergency response, shall be | ||||||
7 | required to make restitution to a public agency for the costs | ||||||
8 | of that emergency response. The restitution may not exceed | ||||||
9 | $1,000 per public agency for each emergency response. As used | ||||||
10 | in this subsection, "emergency response" means any incident | ||||||
11 | requiring a response by a police officer, an ambulance, a | ||||||
12 | firefighter carried on the rolls of a regularly constituted | ||||||
13 | fire department or fire protection district, a firefighter of a | ||||||
14 | volunteer fire department, or a member if a recognized | ||||||
15 | not-for-profit rescue or emergency medical service provider. | ||||||
16 | (Source: P.A. 91-716, eff. 10-1-00.)
| ||||||
