SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
 
See Index

    Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. Adds a Section heading to a provision setting restrictions on the transfer, possession, and consumption of alcoholic liquor and divides the provision into subsections. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that provisions relating to driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds also apply to persons driving under the influence of methamphetamine. Provides that, following a statutory summary alcohol-, drug-, or intoxicating compound-related suspension, full driving privileges shall be restored unless the person is otherwise suspended, revoked, or cancelled (rather than otherwise disqualified) under the Code. Provides that, for computing the dates of offenses committed for purposes of making an application for a license after the license has been revoked or for determining penalties for driving while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination thereof, the similar offenses committed on a military installation shall be considered. Provides that the person's driving privileges (rather than full driving privileges) may not be restored until all applicable reinstatement fees have been paid.
