2    the violation. In municipalities with a population of
3    1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a
4    population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the automated
5    traffic law ordinance shall require that all
6    determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
7    being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
8    or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
9    approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
10    enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
11    the violation or by an additional fully-trained reviewing
12    technician who is not employed by the contractor who
13    employs the technician who made the initial determination.
14    In the case of an automated speed enforcement system
15    violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a
16    technician employed by the municipality, based upon an
17    inspection of recorded images, video or other
18    documentation, including documentation of the speed limit
19    and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation
20    of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the
21    speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in
22    violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a
23    similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that
24    the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated,
25    certified speed equipment device based upon the speed
26    equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an emergency

1    vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The automated speed
2    enforcement ordinance shall require that all
3    determinations by a technician that a violation occurred be
4    reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or
5    retired law enforcement officer of the municipality
6    issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained
7    reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor
8    who employs the technician who made the initial
9    determination. Routine and independent calibration of the
10    speeds produced by automated speed enforcement systems and
11    equipment shall be conducted annually by a qualified
12    technician. Speeds produced by an automated speed
13    enforcement system shall be compared with speeds produced
14    by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or lidar
15    equipment shall undergo an internal validation test no less
16    frequently than once each week. Qualified technicians
17    shall test loop based equipment no less frequently than
18    once a year. Radar equipment shall be checked for accuracy
19    by a qualified technician when the unit is serviced, when
20    unusual or suspect readings persist, or when deemed
21    necessary by a reviewing technician. Radar equipment shall
22    be checked with the internal frequency generator and the
23    internal circuit test whenever the radar is turned on.
24    Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect
25    readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar
26    unit persist, that unit shall immediately be removed from

3    functioning properly. Documentation of the annual
4    calibration results, including the equipment tested, test
5    date, technician performing the test, and test results,
6    shall be maintained and available for use in the
7    determination of an automated speed enforcement system
8    violation and issuance of a citation. The technician
9    performing the calibration and testing of the automated
10    speed enforcement equipment shall be trained and certified
11    in the use of equipment for speed enforcement purposes.
12    Training on the speed enforcement equipment may be
13    conducted by law enforcement, civilian, or manufacturer's
14    personnel and if applicable may be equivalent to the
15    equipment use and operations training included in the Speed
16    Measuring Device Operator Program developed by the
17    National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
18    The vendor or technician who performs the work shall keep
19    accurate records on each piece of equipment the technician
20    calibrates and tests. As used in this paragraph,
21    "fully-trained reviewing technician" means a person who
22    has received at least 40 hours of supervised training in
23    subjects which shall include image inspection and
24    interpretation, the elements necessary to prove a
25    violation, license plate identification, and traffic
26    safety and management. In all municipalities and counties,

15    automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
16    law violation notice issued, signed and served in
17    accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the
18    computer generated record shall be prima facie correct and
19    shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
20    facts shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer
21    generated record shall be admissible in any subsequent
22    administrative or legal proceedings.
23        (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered
24    owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing,

21    recorded in a United States Post Office approved database,
22    or, under Section 11-1306 or subsection (p) of Section
23    11-208.6 or 11-208.9, or subsection (p) of Section 11-208.8
24    of this Code, to the lessee of the cited vehicle at the

11    payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking,
12    standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
13    or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which
14    final determinations have been issued. An order issued

16    the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
17    Procedure.
18        (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice
19    advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right
20    to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
21    (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking,

20or county from consolidating multiple final determinations of
21parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
22system, or automated traffic law violations against a person in
23a proceeding. Upon commencement of the action, the municipality
24or county shall file a certified copy or record of the final
