 1        AN ACT in relation to vehicles.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is  amended  by
 5    adding Section 4-214.1 as follows:

 6        (625 ILCS 5/4-214.1 new)
 7        Sec.  4-214.1.   Failure to pay fines, charges, and costs
 8    on an abandoned vehicle.
 9        (a)  Whenever any resident of this State fails to pay any
10    fine, charge, or cost imposed  for  a  violation  of  Section
11    4-201  of  this  Code,  or  a  similar  provision  of a local
12    ordinance, the clerk may notify the Secretary of State, on  a
13    report  prescribed  by the Secretary, and the Secretary shall
14    prohibit  the  renewal,  reissue,  or  reinstatement  of  the
15    resident's driving privileges until the fine, charge, or cost
16    has been paid in full.  The clerk shall provide notice to the
17    driver, at the driver's last known address as  shown  on  the
18    court's records, stating that the action will be effective on
19    the  46th  day  following  the  date  of  the above notice if
20    payment is not received in full by the court of venue.
21        (b)  Following receipt of the report from the clerk,  the
22    Secretary  of  State  shall  make  the proper notation to the
23    driver's  file  to  prohibit   the   renewal,   reissue,   or
24    reinstatement  of the driver's driving privileges.  Except as
25    provided in subsection (d)  of  this  Section,  the  notation
26    shall  not  be  removed  from  the  driver's record until the
27    driver satisfies the outstanding fine, charge, or cost and an
28    appropriate notice on a form prescribed by the  Secretary  is
29    received  by  the  Secretary from the court of venue, stating
30    that the fine, charge, or cost has been paid  in  full.  Upon
31    payment  in  full  of a fine, charge, or court cost which has

 1    previously been reported under this Section  as  unpaid,  the
 2    clerk  of  the  court  shall present the driver with a signed
 3    receipt containing the seal of the court indicating that  the
 4    fine,  charge,  or  cost  has  been  paid  in full, and shall
 5    forward immediately  to  the  Secretary  of  State  a  notice
 6    stating that the fine, charge, or cost has been paid in full.
 7        (c)  Notwithstanding  the  receipt  of  a report from the
 8    clerk as  prescribed  in  subsection  (a),  nothing  in  this
 9    Section  is  intended  to  place  any responsibility upon the
10    Secretary of State  to  provide  independent  notice  to  the
11    driver  of  any  potential  action  to  disallow the renewal,
12    reissue, or reinstatement of the driver's driving privileges.
13        (d)  The Secretary of  State  shall  renew,  reissue,  or
14    reinstate a driver's driving privileges which were previously
15    refused  under  this Section upon presentation of an original
16    receipt which is  signed  by  the  clerk  of  the  court  and
17    contains  the  seal  of  the  court indicating that the fine,
18    charge, or cost has been paid  in  full.   The  Secretary  of
19    State shall retain the receipt for his or her records.

20        Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
21    becoming law.
