-2- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 person is notified in writing of the impending suspension and
2 informed that he may request a hearing in the circuit court

-3- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
2 control of a motor vehicle upon a highway while under the
3 influence of alcohol, other drug, or combination of both;
4 and
5 3. Whether the person, after being advised by the
6 officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
7 would be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
8 complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
9 complete the test or tests to determine the person's
10 alcohol or drug concentration; or
11 4. Whether the person, after being advised by the
12 officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
13 would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical
14 test, or tests, and the test discloses an alcohol
15 concentration of 0.08 0.10 or more, or any amount of a
16 drug, substance, or compound in the person's blood or
17 urine resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
18 cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act or a
19 controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
20 Substances Act, and the person did submit to and complete
21 the test or tests that determined an alcohol
22 concentration of 0.08 0.10 or more.
23 Upon the conclusion of the judicial hearing, the circuit
24 court shall sustain or rescind the statutory summary
25 suspension and immediately notify the Secretary of State.

2 restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
3 driving a motor vehicle between the petitioner's
4 residence and petitioner's place of employment or within
5 the scope of his employment related duties, or to allow
6 transportation for the petitioner, or a household member
7 of the petitioner's family, to receive necessary medical
8 care and if the professional evaluation indicates,
9 provide transportation for alcohol remedial or
10 rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
11 classes, as a student, in an accredited educational
12 institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate
13 that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
14 available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
15 safety or welfare. In each case the Secretary may issue a
16 restricted driving permit for a period deemed
17 appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
18 one year from the date of issuance. A restricted driving
19 permit issued under this Section shall be subject to
20 cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary
21 of State in like manner and for like cause as a driver's
22 license issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked,
23 or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
24 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
25 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
26 the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
27 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
28 a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
29 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
30 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The

29 (a) Any person who drives or is in actual physical
30 control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this
31 State shall be deemed to have given consent, subject to the
32 provisions of Section 11-501.2, to a chemical test or tests
33 of blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of determining the
-31- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 content of alcohol, other drug, or combination of both in the
2 person's blood if arrested, as evidenced by the issuance of a
3 Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any offense as defined in Section

11 of this State who is investigating the person for any offense
12 defined in Section 11-501 may travel into an adjoining state,
13 where the person has been transported for medical care, to
14 complete an investigation and to request that the person
15 submit to the test or tests set forth in this Section. The

17 inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the person a
18 Uniform Traffic Ticket for an offense as defined in Section
19 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance prior to
20 requesting that the person submit to the test or tests. The
21 issuance of the Uniform Traffic Ticket shall not constitute
22 an arrest, but shall be for the purpose of notifying the
23 person that he or she is subject to the provisions of this
24 Section and of the officer's belief of the existence of
25 probable cause to arrest. Upon returning to this State, the
26 officer shall file the Uniform Traffic Ticket with the
27 Circuit Clerk of the county where the offense was committed,
28 and shall seek the issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons
29 for the person.
30 (b) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or who is

32 refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent
33 provided by paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or
34 tests may be administered, subject to the provisions of

1 Section 11-501.2.
2 (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
3 above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
4 requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test will
5 result in the statutory summary suspension of the person's
6 privilege to operate a motor vehicle as provided in Section

8 law enforcement officer that if the person submits to the
9 test or tests provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and
10 the alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is

15 Substances Act is detected in the person's blood or urine, a
16 statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege to
17 operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Sections 6-208.1 and
18 11-501.1 of this Code will, be imposed.
19 A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the
20 person is requested to submit to a test as provided above
21 shall, in addition to the warnings provided for in this
22 Section, be further warned by the law enforcement officer
23 requesting the test that if the person submits to the test or
24 tests provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and the
25 alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is
26 greater than 0.00 and less than 0.08 0.10, a suspension of
27 the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as
28 provided under Sections 6-208.2 and 11-501.8 of this Code,
29 will be imposed. The results of this test shall be
30 admissible in a civil or criminal action or proceeding
31 arising from an arrest for an offense as defined in Section
32 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
33 ordinance or pursuant to Section 11-501.4 in prosecutions for
34 reckless homicide brought under the Criminal Code of 1961.
-33- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 These test results, however, shall be admissible only in
2 actions or proceedings directly related to the incident upon
3 which the test request was made.
4 (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test
5 that discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 0.10 or more,
6 or any amount of a drug, substance, or compound in the
7 person's blood or urine resulting from the unlawful use or
8 consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act or

23 Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
24 ordinance, then reports received by the Secretary of State

29 (f) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
30 report under paragraph (d) shall serve immediate notice of
31 the statutory summary suspension on the person and the
32 suspension shall be effective as provided in paragraph (g).

7 Section or by deposit in the United States mail of the notice
8 in an envelope with postage prepaid and addressed to the
9 person at his address as shown on the Uniform Traffic Ticket
10 and the statutory summary suspension shall begin as provided
11 in paragraph (g). The officer shall confiscate any Illinois
12 driver's license or permit on the person at the time of
13 arrest. If the person has a valid driver's license or permit,
14 the officer shall issue the person a receipt, in a form
15 prescribed by the Secretary of State, that will allow that
16 person to drive during the periods provided for in paragraph
17 (g). The officer shall immediately forward the driver's
18 license or permit to the circuit court of venue along with
19 the sworn report provided for in paragraph (d).
20 (g) The statutory summary suspension referred to in this
21 Section shall take effect on the 46th day following the date
22 the notice of the statutory summary suspension was given to
23 the person.
24 (h) The following procedure shall apply whenever a
25 person is arrested for any offense as defined in Section
26 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance:
27 Upon receipt of the sworn report from the law enforcement
28 officer, the Secretary of State shall confirm the statutory
29 summary suspension by mailing a notice of the effective date
30 of the suspension to the person and the court of venue.
31 However, should the sworn report be defective by not
32 containing sufficient information or be completed in error,
33 the confirmation of the statutory summary suspension shall
34 not be mailed to the person or entered to the record, instead
-35- SRS90S0001AKsa

7 (a) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
8 proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined
9 in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings
10 pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of
11 alcohol, other drug or combination thereof in a person's
12 blood or breath at the time alleged, as determined by
13 analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath or other bodily
14 substance, shall be admissible. Where such test is made the
15 following provisions shall apply:
16 1. Chemical analyses of the person's blood, urine,
17 breath or other bodily substance to be considered valid
18 under the provisions of this Section shall have been
19 performed according to standards promulgated by the
20 Department of Public Health in consultation with the
21 Department of State Police by a licensed physician,
22 registered nurse, trained phlebotomist acting under the
23 direction of a licensed physician, certified paramedic,
24 or other individual possessing a valid permit issued by
25 that Department for this purpose. The Director of the
26 Department of Public Health in consultation with the
27 Department of State Police is authorized to approve
28 satisfactory techniques or methods, to ascertain the
29 qualifications and competence of individuals to conduct
30 such analyses, to issue permits which shall be subject to
31 termination or revocation at the discretion of that
32 Department and to certify the accuracy of breath testing
33 equipment. The Illinois Department of Public Health shall
-36- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 prescribe regulations as necessary to implement this
2 Section.
3 2. When a person in this State shall submit to a
4 blood test at the request of a law enforcement officer
5 under the provisions of Section 11-501.1, only a
6 physician authorized to practice medicine, a registered
7 nurse, trained phlebotomist, or certified paramedic, or
8 other qualified person approved by the Department of
9 Public Health may withdraw blood for the purpose of
10 determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug
11 content therein. This limitation shall not apply to the
12 taking of breath or urine specimens.
13 When a blood test of a person who has been taken to
14 an adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by
15 an Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
16 withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
17 medicine in the adjoining state, a registered nurse, a
18 trained phlebotomist acting under the direction of the
19 physician, or certified paramedic. The law enforcement
20 officer requesting the test shall take custody of the
21 blood sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed by a
22 laboratory certified by the Department of Public Health
23 for that purpose.
24 3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
25 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
26 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
27 chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at
28 the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure
29 or inability to obtain an additional test by a person
30 shall not preclude the admission of evidence relating to
31 the test or tests taken at the direction of a law
32 enforcement officer.
33 4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit
34 to a chemical test or tests at the request of a law
-37- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 enforcement officer, full information concerning the test
2 or tests shall be made available to the person or such
3 person's attorney.
4 5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
5 alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
6 per 210 liters of breath.
7 (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
8 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
9 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of
10 a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the
11 concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at
12 the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood,
13 urine, breath, or other bodily substance shall give rise to
14 the following presumptions:
15 1. If there was at that time an alcohol
16 concentration of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that
17 the person was not under the influence of alcohol.
18 2. If there was at that time an alcohol
19 concentration in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08 0.10,
20 such facts shall not give rise to any presumption that
21 the person was or was not under the influence of alcohol,
22 but such fact may be considered with other competent
23 evidence in determining whether the person was under the
24 influence of alcohol.
25 3. If there was at that time an alcohol
26 concentration of 0.08 0.10 or more, it shall be presumed
27 that the person was under the influence of alcohol.
28 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall
29 not be construed as limiting the introduction of any
30 other relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether
31 the person was under the influence of alcohol.
32 (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
33 chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
34 evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
-38- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged
2 to have been committed while the person under the
3 influence of alcohol, or other drugs, or combination of
4 both was driving or in actual physical control of a motor
5 vehicle.
6 2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this
7 Code to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke
8 the implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
9 officer has probable cause to believe that a motor
10 vehicle driven by or in actual physical control of a
11 person under the influence of alcohol, any other drug, or
12 combination of both has caused the death or personal
13 injury to another, that person shall submit, upon the
14 request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test
15 or tests of his or her blood, breath or urine for the
16 purpose of determining the alcohol content thereof or the
17 presence of any other drug or combination of both.
18 This provision does not affect the applicability of or
19 imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
20 11-501.1 of this Code.
21 3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury
22 includes any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic
23 accident report completed by a law enforcement officer
24 that requires immediate professional attention in either
25 a doctor's office or a medical facility. A Type A injury
26 includes severe bleeding wounds, distorted extremities,

1 motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State and who
2 has been involved in a personal injury or fatal motor vehicle
3 accident, shall be deemed to have given consent to a breath

6 breath, or urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol
7 or other drug content of such person's blood if arrested as
8 evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for any
9 violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
10 of a local ordinance, with the exception of equipment
11 violations contained in Chapter 12 of this Code, or similar
12 provisions of local ordinances. The test or tests shall be
13 administered at the direction of the arresting officer. The
14 law enforcement agency employing the officer shall designate
15 which of the aforesaid tests shall be administered. A urine
16 test may be administered even after a blood or breath test or

18 does not relieve such person from the requirements of Section
19 11-501.1 of this Code.
20 (b) Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is
21 otherwise in a condition rendering such person incapable of
22 refusal shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent

5 compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
6 cannabis, as covered by the Cannabis Control Act or a
7 controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
8 Substances Act as detected in such person's blood or urine,
9 may result in the suspension of such person's privilege to
10 operate a motor vehicle. The length of the suspension shall
11 be the same as outlined in Section 6-208.1 of this Code
12 regarding statutory summary suspensions.
13 (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test
14 which discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 0.10 or

27 or consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act
28 or a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
29 Substances Act.
30 Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
31 officer, the Secretary shall enter the suspension to the
32 individual's driving record and the suspension shall be
33 effective on the 46th day following the date notice of the

9 (i) Chemical analysis of the person's blood, urine,
10 breath, or other bodily substance, to be considered valid
11 under the provisions of this Section, shall have been
12 performed according to standards promulgated by the
13 Department of Public Health in consultation with the
14 Department of State Police by an individual possessing a
15 valid permit issued by that Department for this purpose.
16 The Director of the Department of Public Health, in
17 consultation with the Department of State Police, is
18 authorized to approve satisfactory techniques or methods,
19 to ascertain the qualifications and competence of
20 individuals to conduct analyses, to issue permits that
21 shall be subject to termination or revocation at the
22 direction of that Department, and to certify the accuracy
23 of breath testing equipment. The Illinois Department of
24 Public Health shall prescribe regulations as necessary.
25 (ii) When a person submits to a blood test at the
26 request of a law enforcement officer under the provisions
27 of this Section, only a physician authorized to practice
28 medicine, a registered nurse, or other qualified person
29 trained in venipuncture and acting under the direction of
30 a licensed physician may withdraw blood for the purpose
31 of determining the alcohol content therein. This
32 limitation does not apply to the taking of breath or
33 urine specimens.
34 (iii) The person tested may have a physician,
-44- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
2 qualified person of his or her own choosing administer a
3 chemical test or tests in addition to any test or tests
4 administered at the direction of a law enforcement
5 officer. The failure or inability to obtain an
6 additional test by a person shall not preclude the
7 consideration of the previously performed chemical test.
8 (iv) Upon a request of the person who submits to a
9 chemical test or tests at the request of a law
10 enforcement officer, full information concerning the test
11 or tests shall be made available to the person or that
12 person's attorney.
13 (v) Alcohol concentration means either grams of
14 alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
15 per 210 liters of breath.
16 (vi) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as
17 a result of a motor vehicle accident, a physician
18 licensed to practice medicine, registered nurse, or other
19 qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under
20 the direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw
21 blood for testing purposes to ascertain the presence of
22 alcohol upon the specific request of a law enforcement
23 officer. However, that testing shall not be performed
24 until, in the opinion of the medical personnel on scene,
25 the withdrawal can be made without interfering with or
26 endangering the well-being of the patient.
27 (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
28 above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
29 requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or
30 submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration
31 of more than 0.00, may result in the loss of that person's
32 privilege to operate a motor vehicle. The loss of driving
33 privileges shall be imposed in accordance with Section
34 6-208.2 of this Code.
-45- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test
2 that discloses an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00,
3 the law enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn
4 report to the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the
5 Secretary of State, certifying that the test or tests were
6 requested under subsection (a) and the person refused to
7 submit to a test or tests or submitted to testing which
8 disclosed an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00. The
9 law enforcement officer shall submit the same sworn report
10 when a person under the age of 21 submits to testing under
11 Section 11-501.1 of this Code and the testing discloses an
12 alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 and less than 0.08
13 0.10.
14 Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
15 officer, the Secretary of State shall enter the driver's
16 license sanction on the individual's driving record and the
17 sanctions shall be effective on the 46th day following the
18 date notice of the sanction was given to the person. If this
19 sanction is the individual's first driver's license
20 suspension under this Section, reports received by the
21 Secretary of State under this Section shall, except during
22 the time the suspension is in effect, be privileged
23 information and for use only by the courts, police officers,
24 prosecuting authorities, the Secretary of State, or the
25 individual personally.
26 The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
27 shall serve immediate notice of this driver's license
28 sanction on the person and the sanction shall be effective on
29 the 46th day following the date notice was given.
30 In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more
31 than 0.00 is established by a subsequent analysis of blood or
32 urine, the police officer or arresting agency shall give
33 notice as provided in this Section or by deposit in the
34 United States mail of that notice in an envelope with postage
-46- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 prepaid and addressed to that person at his last known
2 address and the loss of driving privileges shall be effective
3 on the 46th day following the date notice was given.
4 Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
5 officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
6 driver's license sanction to the driver by mailing a notice
7 of the effective date of the sanction to the individual.
8 However, should the sworn report be defective by not
9 containing sufficient information or be completed in error,
10 the notice of the driver's license sanction may not be mailed
11 to the person or entered to the driving record, but rather
12 the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law
13 enforcement agency.
14 (e) A driver may contest this driver's license sanction
15 by requesting an administrative hearing with the Secretary of
16 State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code. An
17 individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown to be
18 more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
19 consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
20 ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
21 shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this
22 Section if the individual's blood alcohol concentration
23 resulted only from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended
24 dosage of medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for
25 that hearing shall not stay or delay the effective date of
26 the impending suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be
27 limited to the issues of:
28 (1) whether the police officer had probable cause
29 to believe that the person was driving or in actual
30 physical control of a motor vehicle upon the public
31 highways of the State and the police officer had reason
32 to believe that the person was in violation of any
33 provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar
34 provision of a local ordinance; and
-47- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 (2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
2 Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or
3 a similar provision of a local ordinance; and
4 (3) whether the police officer had probable cause
5 to believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
6 alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
7 actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
8 officer; and
9 (4) whether the person, after being advised by the
10 officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle
11 would be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
12 complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
13 complete the test or tests to determine the person's
14 alcohol concentration; or
15 (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
16 officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
17 would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical
18 test or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
19 concentration of more than 0.00 and the person did submit
20 to and complete the test or tests that determined an
21 alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
22 (6) whether the test result of an alcohol
23 concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
24 person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a
25 religious service or ceremony; or
26 (7) whether the test result of an alcohol
27 concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the
28 person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the
29 prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
30 Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer,
31 the hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law
32 enforcement officer's own official reports. Failure of the
33 officer to answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a
34 continuance if, in the hearing officer's discretion, the
-48- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 continuance is appropriate. At the conclusion of the
2 hearing held under Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary
3 of State may rescind, continue, or modify the driver's
4 license sanction. If the Secretary of State does not rescind
5 the sanction, a restricted driving permit may be granted by
6 the Secretary of State upon application being made and good
7 cause shown. A restricted driving permit may be granted to
8 relieve undue hardship by allowing driving for employment,
9 educational, and medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of
10 part (c) of Section 6-206 of this Code. The provisions of
11 item (3) of part (c) of Section 6-206 of this Code shall
12 apply. The Secretary of State shall promulgate rules
13 providing for participation in an alcohol education and
14 awareness program or activity, a drug education and awareness
15 program or activity, or both as a condition to the issuance
16 of a restricted driving permit for suspensions imposed under
17 this Section.
18 (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
19 accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
20 admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that
21 the results of the testing may be considered at a hearing
22 held under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results
23 of the testing may not be used to impose driver's license
24 sanctions under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law
25 enforcement officer may, however, pursue a statutory summary
26 suspension of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of
27 this Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge
28 forms the basis of that suspension.
29 (g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under
30 age 21 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic
31 Ticket for a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
32 similar provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test
33 request is made under this Section.
34 (h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
-49- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 revoking, or denying any license, permit, registration, or
2 certificate of title shall be subject to judicial review in
3 the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court
4 of Cook County, and the provisions of the Administrative
5 Review Law and its rules are hereby adopted and shall apply
6 to and govern every action for the judicial review of final
7 acts or decisions of the Secretary of State under this
8 Section.

17 if his acts whether lawful or unlawful which cause the death
18 are such as are likely to cause death or great bodily harm to
19 some individual, and he performs them recklessly, except in
20 cases in which the cause of the death consists of the driving
21 of a motor vehicle, in which case the person commits reckless
22 homicide.
23 (b) In cases involving reckless homicide, being under
24 the influence of alcohol or any other drug or drugs at the
25 time of the alleged violation shall be presumed to be
26 evidence of a reckless act unless disproved by evidence to
27 the contrary.
28 (c) For the purposes of this Section, a person shall be
29 considered to be under the influence of alcohol or other
30 drugs while:
31 1. The alcohol concentration in the person's blood
32 or breath is 0.08 0.10 or more based on the definition of
-50- SRS90S0001AKsa
1 blood and breath units in Section 11-501.2 of the
2 Illinois Vehicle Code;
3 2. Under the influence of alcohol to a degree that
4 renders the person incapable of safely driving;
5 3. Under the influence of any other drug or
6 combination of drugs to a degree that renders the person
7 incapable of safely driving; or
8 4. Under the combined influence of alcohol and any
9 other drug or drugs to a degree which renders the person
10 incapable of safely driving.
11 (d) Sentence.
12 (1) Involuntary manslaughter is a Class 3 felony.
13 (2) Reckless homicide is a Class 3 felony.
14 (e) In cases involving reckless homicide in which the
15 defendant was determined to have been under the influence of
16 alcohol or any other drug or drugs as an element of the
17 offense, or in cases in which the defendant is proven beyond
18 a reasonable doubt to have been under the influence of
19 alcohol or any other drug or drugs, the penalty shall be a
20 Class 2 felony, for which a person, if sentenced to a term of
21 imprisonment, shall be sentenced to a term of not less than 3
22 years and not more than 14 years.
