Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(625 ILCS 5/7-704)

Sec. 7-704.

Suspension to continue until compliance with court
order of support.

(a) The suspension of a driver's license shall remain in
effect unless and until the Secretary of State receives
authenticated documentation that the obligor is in compliance with
a court order of support or that the order has
been stayed by a subsequent order of the court.
Full driving privileges shall not be issued by the Secretary
of State until notification of compliance has been received from
the court.  The circuit clerks shall report the obligor's compliance
with a court order of support to the Secretary of
State, on a form prescribed by the Secretary.

(a-1) The suspension of a driver's license shall remain in effect unless and until the Secretary of State receives authenticated documentation as to the person who violated a visitation order that  the court has determined that there has been sufficient compliance for a sufficient period of time with the court's order concerning visitation and that full driving privileges shall be reinstated or that the order has been stayed by a subsequent order of the court. Full driving privileges shall not be issued by the Secretary of State until notification has been received from the court. The circuit clerk shall report any court order in which the court determined that there has been sufficient compliance for a sufficient period of time with the court's order concerning visitation and that full driving privileges shall be reinstated to the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary.

(b) Whenever, after one suspension of an individual's driver's
license for failure to pay child support, another order of
non-payment is entered against the obligor and the person fails to
come into compliance with the court order of
support, then the Secretary shall again suspend the driver's
license of the individual and that suspension shall not be removed
unless the obligor is in full compliance with the court order of support and
has made full payment on all arrearages or has arranged for payment of the arrearages and current support obligation in a manner satisfactory to the court.  The provision in this Section regarding the compliance necessary to remove an active suspension applies equally to all individuals who have had a driver's license suspended due to non-payment of child support, regardless of whether that suspension  occurred before or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.

(b-1) Whenever, after one suspension of an individual's driver's license for failure to abide by a visitation order, another order finding visitation abuse is entered against the person and the court orders the suspension of the person's driver's license, then the Secretary shall again suspend the driver's license of the individual and that suspension shall not be removed until the court has determined that there has been sufficient compliance for a sufficient period of time with the court's order concerning visitation and that full driving privileges shall be reinstated.

(c)  Section 7-704.1, and not this Section, governs the duration of a driver's license suspension if the suspension occurs as the result of a certification by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services under subsection (c) of Section 7-702.
