| 1 | | 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, or Section 9-3 of this
| 2 | | Code makes a showing

| 18 | | provisions of this paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. | 19 | | If the owner of

Preliminary Review. | 7 | | (a) Within 14 days of the seizure, the State's Attorney in | 8 | | the county in which the seizure occurred State shall seek a | 9 | | preliminary determination from the circuit court as to whether | 10 | | there is probable cause that the property may be subject to | 11 | | forfeiture. | 12 | | (b) The rules of evidence shall not apply to any proceeding | 13 | | conducted under this Section. | 14 | | (c) The court may conduct the review under subsection (a) | 15 | | simultaneously with a proceeding pursuant to Section 109-1 of | 16 | | the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 for a related criminal | 17 | | offense if a prosecution is commenced by information or | 18 | | complaint. | 19 | | (d) The court may accept a finding of probable cause at a | 20 | | preliminary hearing following the filing of an information or | 21 | | complaint charging a related criminal offense or following the | 22 | | return of indictment by a grand jury charging the related | 23 | | offense as sufficient evidence of probable cause as required | 24 | | under subsection (a). | 25 | | (e) Upon making a finding of probable cause as required |
| | | 09800HB5523ham002 | - 10 - | LRB098 17373 RLC 57383 a |
|
| 1 | | under this Section, the circuit court shall order the property | 2 | | subject to the provisions of the applicable forfeiture Act held | 3 | | until the conclusion of any forfeiture proceeding. | 4 | | For seizures of conveyances, within 7 days of a finding of | 5 | | probable cause under subsection (a), the registered owner or | 6 | | other claimant may file a motion in writing supported by sworn | 7 | | affidavits claiming that denial of the use of the conveyance | 8 | | during the pendency of the forfeiture proceedings creates a | 9 | | substantial hardship. The court shall consider the following | 10 | | factors in determining whether a substantial hardship has been | 11 | | proven: | 12 | | (1) the nature of the claimed hardship; | 13 | | (2) the availability of public transportation or other | 14 | | available means of transportation; and | 15 | | (3) any available alternatives to alleviate the | 16 | | hardship other than the return of the seized conveyance. | 17 | | If the court determines that a substantial hardship has | 18 | | been proven, the court shall then balance the nature of the | 19 | | hardship against the State's interest in safeguarding the | 20 | | conveyance. If the court determines that the hardship outweighs | 21 | | the State's interest in safeguarding the conveyance, the court | 22 | | may temporarily release the conveyance to the registered owner | 23 | | or the registered owner's authorized designee, or both, until | 24 | | the conclusion of the forfeiture proceedings or for such | 25 | | shorter period as ordered by the court provided that the person | 26 | | to whom the conveyance is released provides proof of insurance |
| | | 09800HB5523ham002 | - 11 - | LRB098 17373 RLC 57383 a |
|
| 1 | | and a valid driver's license and all State and local | 2 | | registrations for operation of the conveyance are current. The | 3 | | court shall place conditions on the conveyance limiting its use | 4 | | to the stated hardship and restricting the conveyance's use to | 5 | | only those individuals authorized to use the conveyance by the | 6 | | registered owner. The court shall revoke the order releasing | 7 | | the conveyance and order that the conveyance be reseized by law | 8 | | enforcement if the conditions of release are violated or if the | 9 | | conveyance is used in the commission of any offense identified | 10 | | in subsection (a) of Section 6-205 of the Illinois Vehicle | 11 | | Code. | 12 | | If the court orders the release of the conveyance during | 13 | | the pendency of the forfeiture proceedings, the registered | 14 | | owner or his or her authorized designee shall post a cash | 15 | | security with the Clerk of the Court as ordered by the court. | 16 | | The court shall consider the following factors in determining | 17 | | the amount of the cash security: | 18 | | (A) the full market value of the conveyance; | 19 | | (B) the nature of the hardship; | 20 | | (C) the extent and length of the usage of the | 21 | | conveyance; and | 22 | | (D) such other conditions as the court deems necessary | 23 | | to safeguard the conveyance. | 24 | | If the conveyance is released, the court shall order that | 25 | | the registered owner or his or her designee safeguard the | 26 | | conveyance, not remove the conveyance from the jurisdiction, |
| | | 09800HB5523ham002 | - 12 - | LRB098 17373 RLC 57383 a |
|
| 1 | | not conceal, destroy, or otherwise dispose of the conveyance, | 2 | | not encumber the conveyance, and not diminish the value of the | 3 | | conveyance in any way. The court shall also make a | 4 | | determination of the full market value of the conveyance prior | 5 | | to it being released based on a source or sources defined in 50 | 6 | | Ill. Adm. Code 919.80(c)(2)(A) or 919.80(c)(2)(B). | 7 | | If the conveyance subject to forfeiture is released under | 8 | | this Section and is subsequently forfeited, the person to whom | 9 | | the conveyance was released shall return the conveyance to the | 10 | | law enforcement agency that seized the conveyance within 7 days | 11 | | from the date of the declaration of forfeiture or order of | 12 | | forfeiture. If the conveyance is not returned within 7 days, | 13 | | the cash security shall be forfeited in the same manner as the | 14 | | conveyance subject to forfeiture. If the cash security was less | 15 | | than the full market value, a judgment shall be entered against | 16 | | the parties to whom the conveyance was released and the | 17 | | registered owner, jointly and severally, for the difference | 18 | | between the full market value and the amount of the cash | 19 | | security. If the conveyance is returned in a condition other | 20 | | than the condition in which it was released, the cash security | 21 | | shall be returned to the surety who posted the security minus | 22 | | the amount of the diminished value, and that amount shall be | 23 | | forfeited in the same manner as the conveyance subject to | 24 | | forfeiture. Additionally, the court may enter an order allowing | 25 | | any law enforcement agency in the State of Illinois to seize | 26 | | the conveyance wherever it may be found in the State to satisfy |
| | | 09800HB5523ham002 | - 13 - | LRB098 17373 RLC 57383 a |
|
| 1 | | the judgment if the cash security was less than the full market | 2 | | value of the conveyance.
