32    a certified report to the Secretary of State upon a  person's
33    failure  to  satisfy  any  fine  or  penalty imposed by final
34    judgment for 10 or more  violations  of  local  standing  and

11        alleged  violator's State vehicle registration number and
12        vehicle make are correct as they appear on the citations.
13        (g)  Any  municipality,   other   than   a   municipality
14    establishing    standing,   and   parking,   and   compliance
15    regulations pursuant to  Section  11-208.3,  may  provide  by
16    ordinance  for  the  sending of a notice of impending drivers
17    license suspension to the person who has  failed  to  satisfy
18    any  fine or penalty imposed by final judgment for 10 or more
19    violations of local standing and  parking  regulations  after
20    exhaustion  of  judicial  review procedures.  An ordinance so
21    providing shall specify that the notice sent  to  the  person
22    liable  for  any  fine or penalty shall state that failure to
23    pay the fine or penalty owing within 45 days of the  notice's
24    date  will result in the municipality notifying the Secretary
25    of State that the person's drivers license  is  eligible  for
26    suspension  pursuant to this Section. The notice of impending
27    drivers license suspension  shall  be  sent  by  first  class
