12    if specified, is incorrect. After the determination of
13    parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
14    system, or automated traffic law violation liability has

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
15    after the hearing is a final administrative decision within
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.

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
