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 40/5-7.2)

Sec. 5-7.2. Chemical and other tests.

(a) Upon the trial of a civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out
of
acts alleged to have been committed while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or a combination of
them, the
concentration of alcohol, drug, or compound in the person's blood, other bodily substance, or breath at the time alleged as
shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily
substance gives rise to the presumptions specified in
subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 of subsection (b) and subsection (b-5) of Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code.

(b) The provisions of subsection (a) shall not be construed as limiting the
introduction of any other relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether
the person was under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or a combination of
them.

(c) If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a chemical test under the
provisions of Section 5-7.1, evidence of refusal is admissible in a
civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been
committed while the person under the influence of alcohol, other
drug or drugs, an intoxicating compound or compounds, or a combination of
them was operating a snowmobile.
