    (625 ILCS 5/6-201)
    Sec. 6-201. Authority to cancel licenses and permits.
    (a) The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel any
license or permit upon determining that the holder thereof:
        1. was not entitled to the issuance thereof hereunder;
    or
        2. failed to give the required or correct information
    in his application; or
        3. failed to pay any fees owed to the Secretary of
    State under this Code for the license or permit , civil
    penalties owed to the Illinois Commerce Commission, or
    taxes due under this Act and upon reasonable notice and
    demand; or
        4. committed any fraud in the making of such
    application; or
        5. is ineligible therefor under the provisions of
    Section 6-103 of this Act, as amended; or
        6. has refused or neglected to submit an alcohol, drug,
    and intoxicating compound evaluation or to submit to
    examination or re-examination as required under this Act;
    or
        7. has been convicted of violating the Cannabis Control
    Act, the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, the
    Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
    the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act while that individual
    was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle. For
    purposes of this Section, any person placed on probation
    under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410
    of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of
    the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act
    shall not be considered convicted. Any person found guilty
    of this offense, while in actual physical control of a
    motor vehicle, shall have an entry made in the court record
    by the judge that this offense did occur while the person
    was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle and order
    the clerk of the court to report the violation to the
    Secretary of State as such. After the cancellation, the
    Secretary of State shall not issue a new license or permit
    for a period of one year after the date of cancellation.
    However, upon application, the Secretary of State may, if
    satisfied that the person applying will not endanger the
    public safety, or welfare, issue a restricted driving
    permit granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle
    between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's place
    of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
    employment related duties, or to allow transportation for
    the petitioner or a household member of the petitioner's
    family for the receipt of necessary medical care, or
    provide transportation for the petitioner to and from
    alcohol or drug remedial or rehabilitative activity
    recommended by a licensed service provider, or for the
    petitioner to attend classes, as a student, in an
    accredited educational institution. The petitioner must
    demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is
    reasonably available; provided that the Secretary's
    discretion shall be limited to cases where undue hardship,
    as defined by the rules of the Secretary of State, would
    result from a failure to issue such restricted driving
    permit. In each case the Secretary of State may issue such
    restricted driving permit for such period as he deems
    appropriate, except that such permit shall expire no later
    than 2 years from the date of issuance. A restricted
    driving permit issued hereunder shall be subject to
    cancellation, revocation and suspension by the Secretary
    of State in like manner and for like cause as a driver's
    license issued hereunder may be cancelled, revoked or
    suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
    offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
    movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
    the revocation, suspension or cancellation of a restricted
    driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition
    to the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the
    applicant to participate in a driver remedial or
    rehabilitative program. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384,
    the Secretary of State may not issue a restricted driving
    permit for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a
    person holding a CDL whose driving privileges have been
    revoked, suspended, cancelled, or disqualified under this
    Code; or
        8. failed to submit a report as required by Section
    6-116.5 of this Code; or
        9. has been convicted of a sex offense as defined in
    the Sex Offender Registration Act. The driver's license
    shall remain cancelled until the driver registers as a sex
    offender as required by the Sex Offender Registration Act,
    proof of the registration is furnished to the Secretary of
    State and the sex offender provides proof of current
    address to the Secretary; or
        10. is ineligible for a license or permit under Section
    6-107, 6-107.1, or 6-108 of this Code; or
        11. refused or neglected to appear at a Driver Services
    facility to have the license or permit corrected and a new
    license or permit issued or to present documentation for
    verification of identity; or
        12. failed to submit a medical examiner's certificate
    or medical variance as required by 49 C.F.R. 383.71 or
    submitted a fraudulent medical examiner's certificate or
    medical variance; or
        13. has had his or her medical examiner's certificate,
    medical variance, or both removed or rescinded by the
    Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration; or
        14. failed to self-certify as to the type of driving in
    which the CDL driver engages or expects to engage; or
        15. has submitted acceptable documentation indicating
    out-of-state residency to the Secretary of State to be
    released from the requirement of showing proof of financial
    responsibility in this State; or
        16. was convicted of fraud relating to the testing or
    issuance of a CDL or CLP, in which case only the CDL or CLP
    shall be cancelled. After cancellation, the Secretary
    shall not issue a CLP or CDL for a period of one year from
    the date of cancellation; or
        17. has a special restricted license under subsection
    (g) of Section 6-113 of this Code and failed to submit the
    required annual vision specialist report that the special
    restricted license holder's vision has not changed; or
        18. has a special restricted license under subsection
    (g) of Section 6-113 of this Code and was convicted or
    received court supervision for a violation of this Code
    that occurred during nighttime hours or was involved in a
    motor vehicle accident during nighttime hours in which the
    restricted license holder was at fault; or
        19. has assisted an out-of-state resident in acquiring
    an Illinois driver's license or identification card by
    providing or allowing the out-of-state resident to use his
    or her Illinois address of residence and is complicit in
    distributing and forwarding the Illinois driver's license
    or identification card to the out-of-state resident.
    (b) Upon such cancellation the licensee or permittee must
surrender the license or permit so cancelled to the Secretary
of State.
    (c) Except as provided in Sections 6-206.1 and 7-702.1, the
Secretary of State shall have exclusive authority to grant,
issue, deny, cancel, suspend and revoke driving privileges,
drivers' licenses and restricted driving permits.
    (d) The Secretary of State may adopt rules to implement
this Section.

    gang, as provided in Section 5-710 of that Act, if those
    activities and that involved the operation or use of a
    motor vehicle or the use of a driver's license or permit.
    The reporting requirements of this subsection shall also

    minor, or a delinquent minor and whose driver's license and
    privilege to drive a motor vehicle has been ordered
    suspended for such times as determined by the court, but
    only until he or she attains 18 years of age. It shall be
    the duty of the clerk of the court in which adjudication is
    had within 5 days thereafter to forward to the Secretary of
    State a report of the adjudication and the court order
    requiring the Secretary of State to suspend the minor's
    driver's license and driving privilege for such time as
    determined by the court, but only until he or she attains
    the age of 18 years. All juvenile court dispositions
    reported to the Secretary of State under this provision
    shall be processed by the Secretary of State as if the
    cases had been adjudicated in traffic or criminal court.
    However, information reported relative to the offense of
    reckless homicide, or Section 11-501 of this Code, or a
    similar provision of a local ordinance, shall be privileged
    and available only to the Secretary of State, courts, and
    police officers.

    the judge of such court if such court has no clerk, within

    report of the vacation.
        (4) A report of any disposition of court supervision
    for a violation of Sections 6-303, 11-401, 11-501 or a
    similar provision of a local ordinance, 11-503, 11-504, and
    11-506 of this Code, Section 5-7 of the Snowmobile
    Registration and Safety Act, and Section 5-16 of the Boat
    Registration and Safety Act shall be forwarded to the
    Secretary of State. A report of any disposition of court
    supervision for a violation of an offense defined as a
    serious traffic violation in this Code or a similar
    provision of a local ordinance committed by a person under
    the age of 21 years shall be forwarded to the Secretary of
    State.
        (5) Reports of conviction under this Code and
    sentencing hearings under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in
    an electronic format or a computer processible medium shall
    be forwarded to the Secretary of State via the Supreme
    Court in the form and format required by the Illinois
    Supreme Court and established by a written agreement
    between the Supreme Court and the Secretary of State. In
    counties with a population over 300,000, instead of
    forwarding reports to the Supreme Court, reports of
    conviction under this Code and sentencing hearings under
    the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 in an electronic format or a
    computer processible medium may be forwarded to the
    Secretary of State by the Circuit Court Clerk in a form and
    format required by the Secretary of State and established
    by written agreement between the Circuit Court Clerk and
    the Secretary of State. Failure to forward the reports of
    conviction or sentencing hearing under the Juvenile Court
    Act of 1987 as required by this Section shall be deemed an
    omission of duty and it shall be the duty of the several
    State's Attorneys to enforce the requirements of this
    Section.
    (b) Whenever a restricted driving permit is forwarded to a
court, as a result of confiscation by a police officer pursuant
to the authority in Section 6-113(f), it shall be the duty of
the clerk, or judge, if the court has no clerk, to forward such
restricted driving permit and a facsimile of the officer's
citation to the Secretary of State as expeditiously as
practicable.
    (c) For the purposes of this Code, a forfeiture of bail or
collateral deposited to secure a defendant's appearance in
court when forfeiture has not been vacated, or the failure of a
defendant to appear for trial after depositing his driver's
license in lieu of other bail, shall be equivalent to a
conviction.
    (d) For the purpose of providing the Secretary of State
with records necessary to properly monitor and assess driver
performance and assist the courts in the proper disposition of
repeat traffic law offenders, the clerk of the court shall
forward to the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the
Secretary, records of a driver's participation in a driver
remedial or rehabilitative program which was required, through
a court order or court supervision, in relation to the driver's
arrest for a violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance. The clerk of the court
shall also forward to the Secretary, either on paper or in an
electronic format or a computer processible medium as required
under paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of this Section, any
disposition of court supervision for any traffic violation,
excluding those offenses listed in paragraph (2) of subsection
(a) of this Section. These reports shall be sent within 5 days
after disposition, or, if the driver is referred to a driver
remedial or rehabilitative program, within 5 days of the
driver's referral to that program. These reports received by
the Secretary of State, including those required to be
forwarded under paragraph (a)(4), shall be privileged
information, available only (i) to the affected driver, (ii) to
the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 years
holding an instruction permit or a graduated driver's license,
and (iii) for use by the courts, police officers, prosecuting
authorities, the Secretary of State, and the driver licensing
administrator of any other state. In accordance with 49 C.F.R.
Part 384, all reports of court supervision, except violations
related to parking, shall be forwarded to the Secretary of
State for all holders of a CLP or CDL or any driver who commits
an offense while driving a commercial motor vehicle. These
reports shall be recorded to the driver's record as a
conviction for use in the disqualification of the driver's
commercial motor vehicle privileges and shall not be privileged
information.

    any local ordinance, regulating the movement of traffic
    when that offense was the proximate cause of the death of
    any person. Any person whose driving privileges have been

    Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act. A
    defendant found guilty of this offense while operating a

    by the presiding judge that this offense did occur while
    the defendant was operating a motor vehicle and order the
    clerk of the court to report the violation to the Secretary

the license or permit of any driver in the following
situations:
        1. Of any minor upon receiving the notice provided for
    in Section 5-901 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 that the

    (c)(1) Whenever a person is convicted of any of the

and the Secretary of State in his discretion, without regard to
whether the recommendation is made by the court may, upon
application, issue to the person a restricted driving permit
granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the
petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of employment or
within the scope of the petitioner's employment related duties,
or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or herself or a

the petitioner to transport himself or herself to and from
alcohol or drug remedial or rehabilitative activity
recommended by a licensed service provider, or to allow the
petitioner to transport himself or herself or a family member
of the petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an
accredited educational institution, or to allow the petitioner
to transport children, elderly persons, or persons with
disabilities who do not hold driving privileges and are living
in the petitioner's household to and from daycare; if the
petitioner is able to demonstrate that no alternative means of
transportation is reasonably available and that the petitioner
will not endanger the public safety or welfare; provided that
the Secretary's discretion shall be limited to cases where
undue hardship, as defined by the rules of the Secretary of
State, would result from a failure to issue the restricted
driving permit.
    (1.5) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of
subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the expiration
of 5 years from the effective date of the most recent
revocation, or after 5 years from the date of release from a
period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction of the most
recent offense, whichever is later, provided the person, in
addition to all other requirements of the Secretary, shows by
clear and convincing evidence:
        (A) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted abstinence
    from alcohol and the unlawful use or consumption of
    cannabis under the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
    substance under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
    intoxicating compound under the Use of Intoxicating
    Compounds Act, or methamphetamine under the

    treatment and involvement in any ongoing rehabilitative
    activity that may be recommended by a properly licensed
    service provider according to an assessment of the person's
    alcohol or drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
    In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
restricted driving permit under this paragraph (1.5), the
Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including, but
not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the results
of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject to the
provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of
this Code and who have been convicted of more than one
violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or paragraph (5) of
subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of this Code shall not be
eligible to apply for a restricted driving permit.
    A restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph
(1.5) shall provide that the holder may only operate motor
vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device as required
under paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section and
subparagraph (A) of paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of Section
6-206 of this Code. The Secretary may revoke a restricted
driving permit or amend the conditions of a restricted driving
permit issued under this paragraph (1.5) if the holder operates
a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
device, or for any other reason authorized under this Code.
    A restricted driving permit issued under this paragraph
(1.5) shall be revoked, and the holder barred from applying for
or being issued a restricted driving permit in the future, if
the holder is subsequently convicted of a violation of Section
11-501 of this Code, a similar provision of a local ordinance,
or a similar offense in another state.
    (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or suspended
due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section 11-501 of
this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a
similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of
alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element of the offense,
or a similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of these
offenses, arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if
issued a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle
unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock device
as defined in Section 1-129.1.
    (3) If:
        (A) a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
            (i) a single conviction of violating Section
        11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
        ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
        Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or
        other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or
        a similar out-of-state offense; or
            (ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
        under Section 11-501.1; or
            (iii) a suspension pursuant to Section 6-203.1;
    arising out of separate occurrences; or
        (B) a person has been convicted of one violation of
    subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
    of Section 11-501 of this Code, Section 9-3 of the Criminal
    Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to the
    offense of reckless homicide where the use of alcohol or
    other drugs was recited as an element of the offense, or a
    similar provision of a law of another state;
that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
    (4) The person issued a permit conditioned on the use of an
ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State
DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 per month.
The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and the
procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these fees.
    (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
employment purposes, then the prohibition against operating a
motor vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
solely for employment purposes. For any person who, within a
5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent offense
under Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, this
employment exemption does not apply until either a one-year
period has elapsed during which that person had his or her
driving privileges revoked or a one-year period has elapsed
during which that person had a restricted driving permit which
required the use of an ignition interlock device on every motor
vehicle owned or operated by that person.
    (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
restricted driving permit for a period he deems appropriate,
except that the permit shall expire no later than 2 years from
the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued under
this Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may be
cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon
one or more offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for the
revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a restricted
driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the
petitioner to participate in a designated driver remedial or
rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is authorized to
cancel a restricted driving permit if the permit holder does
not successfully complete the program. However, if an
individual's driving privileges have been revoked in
accordance with paragraph 13 of subsection (a) of this Section,
no restricted driving permit shall be issued until the
individual has served 6 months of the revocation period.
    (c-5) (Blank).
    (c-6) If a person is convicted of a second violation of
operating a motor vehicle while the person's driver's license,
permit or privilege was revoked, where the revocation was for a
violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the offense of reckless
homicide or a similar out-of-state offense, the person's
driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to subdivision
(a)(15) of this Section. The person may not make application
for a license or permit until the expiration of five years from
the effective date of the revocation or the expiration of five
years from the date of release from a term of imprisonment,
whichever is later.
    (c-7) If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of operating a motor vehicle while the person's
driver's license, permit or privilege was revoked, where the
revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the
offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state offense,
the person may never apply for a license or permit.
    (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted
under Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, the
Secretary of State shall revoke the driving privileges of that
person. One year after the date of revocation, and upon
application, the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the
person applying will not endanger the public safety or welfare,
issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
one year. After this one-year period, and upon reapplication
for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the
appropriate reinstatement fee provided under paragraph (b) of
Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may
reinstate the petitioner's driver's license and driving
privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
additional periods of not more than 24 months each.
        (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
    11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
    ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3
    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
    where the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
    element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense,
    or a combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
    occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
    permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
    equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in
    Section 1-129.1.
        (3) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
            (A) a single conviction of violating Section
        11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
        ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
        Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or
        other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or
        a similar out-of-state offense; or
            (B) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
        under Section 11-501.1; or
            (C) a suspension pursuant to Section 6-203.1;
    arising out of separate occurrences, that person, if issued
    a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle
    unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock
    device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (3.5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
    subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
    of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
    local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that
    person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
    operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
    ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (4) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
    of an interlock device must pay to the Secretary of State
    DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $30 per
    month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount and
    the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
    fees.
        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against driving
    a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
    device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
    vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
    solely for employment purposes. For any person who, within
    a 5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent
    offense under Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar
    provision of a local ordinance or similar out-of-state
    offense, this employment exemption does not apply until
    either a one-year period has elapsed during which that
    person had his or her driving privileges revoked or a
    one-year period has elapsed during which that person had a
    restricted driving permit which required the use of an
    ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle owned or
    operated by that person.
        (6) A restricted driving permit issued under this
    Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation, and
    suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and for
    like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code may
    be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
    conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
    cancellation of a restricted driving permit.
    (d-5) The revocation of the license, permit, or driving
privileges of a person convicted of a third or subsequent
violation of Section 6-303 of this Code committed while his or
her driver's license, permit, or privilege was revoked because
of a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or
the Criminal Code of 2012, relating to the offense of reckless
homicide, or a similar provision of a law of another state, is
permanent. The Secretary may not, at any time, issue a license
or permit to that person.
    (e) This Section is subject to the provisions of the Driver
License Compact.
    (f) Any revocation imposed upon any person under
subsections 2 and 3 of paragraph (b) that is in effect on
December 31, 1988 shall be converted to a suspension for a like
period of time.
    (g) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been revoked under any provisions of
this Code.
    (h) The Secretary of State shall require the use of
ignition interlock devices for a period not less than 5 years
on all vehicles owned by a person who has been convicted of a
second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this Code
or a similar provision of a local ordinance. The person must
pay to the Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
not to exceed $30 for each month that he or she uses the
device. The Secretary shall establish by rule and regulation
the procedures for certification and use of the interlock
system, the amount of the fee, and the procedures, terms, and
conditions relating to these fees. During the time period in
which a person is required to install an ignition interlock
device under this subsection (h), that person shall only
operate vehicles in which ignition interlock devices have been
installed, except as allowed by subdivision (c)(5) or (d)(5) of
this Section.
    (i) (Blank).

    For purposes of paragraphs 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 25, 26,
and 27 of this subsection, license means any driver's license,
any traffic ticket issued when the person's driver's license is
deposited in lieu of bail, a suspension notice issued by the
Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's license,
a probationary driver's license or a temporary driver's
license.
    (b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the
order of suspension or revocation, as the case may be, provided
that a certified copy of a stay order of a court is filed with
the Secretary of State. If the conviction is affirmed on
appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the
time the original judgment of conviction was entered and the 6
month limitation prescribed shall not apply.
    (c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or
permit of any person as authorized in this Section, the
Secretary of State shall immediately notify the person in
writing of the revocation or suspension. The notice to be
deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
last known address of the person.
    2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's license
of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of this
Section, a person's privilege to operate a vehicle as an
occupation shall not be suspended, provided an affidavit is
properly completed, the appropriate fee received, and a permit
issued prior to the effective date of the suspension, unless 5
offenses were committed, at least 2 of which occurred while
operating a commercial vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation. All other driving privileges shall be
suspended by the Secretary of State. Any driver prior to
operating a vehicle for occupational purposes only must submit
the affidavit on forms to be provided by the Secretary of State
setting forth the facts of the person's occupation. The
affidavit shall also state the number of offenses committed
while operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the
driver's license. Upon receipt of a properly completed
affidavit, the Secretary of State shall issue the driver a
permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the driver's
regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the
privilege to drive any motor vehicle shall be suspended as set
forth in the notice that was mailed under this Section. If an
affidavit is received subsequent to the effective date of this
suspension, a permit may be issued for the remainder of the
suspension period.
    The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to any
driver required to possess a CDL for the purpose of operating a
commercial motor vehicle.
    Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit
required herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section 6-302
and upon conviction thereof shall have all driving privileges
revoked without further rights.
    3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 of
this Code, the Secretary of State shall either rescind or
continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an order of
suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor, rescind,
continue, change, or extend the order of suspension. If the
Secretary of State does not rescind the order, the Secretary
may upon application, to relieve undue hardship (as defined by
the rules of the Secretary of State), issue a restricted
driving permit granting the privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the petitioner's residence and petitioner's
place of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's
employment related duties, or to allow the petitioner to
transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive
necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to transport
himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug remedial or
rehabilitative activity recommended by a licensed service
provider, or to allow the petitioner to transport himself or
herself or a family member of the petitioner's household to
classes, as a student, at an accredited educational
institution, or to allow the petitioner to transport children,
elderly persons, or persons with disabilities who do not hold
driving privileges and are living in the petitioner's household
to and from daycare. The petitioner must demonstrate that no
alternative means of transportation is reasonably available
and that the petitioner will not endanger the public safety or
welfare.
        (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
    11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
    ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3
    of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012,
    where the use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an
    element of the offense, or a similar out-of-state offense,
    or a combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
    occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
    permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
    equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in
    Section 1-129.1.
        (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended 2 or more times due to any combination of:
            (i) a single conviction of violating Section
        11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
        ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense or Section
        9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
        of 2012, where the use of alcohol or other drugs is
        recited as an element of the offense, or a similar
        out-of-state offense; or
            (ii) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
        under Section 11-501.1; or
            (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;
    arising out of separate occurrences; that person, if issued
    a restricted driving permit, may not operate a vehicle
    unless it has been equipped with an ignition interlock
    device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (B-5) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
    suspended due to a conviction for a violation of
    subparagraph (C) or (F) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d)
    of Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a
    local ordinance or similar out-of-state offense, that
    person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may not
    operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with an
    ignition interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1.
        (C) The person issued a permit conditioned upon the use
    of an ignition interlock device must pay to the Secretary
    of State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed
    $30 per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the
    amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating
    to these fees.
        (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
    employment purposes, then the prohibition against
    operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
    ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
    of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that person's
    employer when used solely for employment purposes. For any
    person who, within a 5-year period, is convicted of a
    second or subsequent offense under Section 11-501 of this
    Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance or
    similar out-of-state offense, this employment exemption
    does not apply until either a one-year period has elapsed
    during which that person had his or her driving privileges
    revoked or a one-year period has elapsed during which that
    person had a restricted driving permit which required the
    use of an ignition interlock device on every motor vehicle
    owned or operated by that person.
        (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a restricted
    driving permit for a period deemed appropriate, except that
    all permits shall expire no later than 2 years from the
    date of issuance. A restricted driving permit issued under
    this Section shall be subject to cancellation, revocation,
    and suspension by the Secretary of State in like manner and
    for like cause as a driver's license issued under this Code
    may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
    conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
    ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
    deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension, or
    cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The Secretary
    of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
    restricted driving permit, require the applicant to
    participate in a designated driver remedial or
    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is
    authorized to cancel a restricted driving permit if the
    permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
        (F) A person subject to the provisions of paragraph 4
    of subsection (b) of Section 6-208 of this Code may make
    application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
    conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
    expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most
    recent revocation or after 5 years from the date of release
    from a period of imprisonment resulting from a conviction
    of the most recent offense, whichever is later, provided
    the person, in addition to all other requirements of the
    Secretary, shows by clear and convincing evidence:
            (i) a minimum of 3 years of uninterrupted
        abstinence from alcohol and the unlawful use or
        consumption of cannabis under the Cannabis Control
        Act, a controlled substance under the Illinois
        Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
        under the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or
        methamphetamine under the Methamphetamine Control and
        Community Protection Act; and
            (ii) the successful completion of any
        rehabilitative treatment and involvement in any
        ongoing rehabilitative activity that may be
        recommended by a properly licensed service provider
        according to an assessment of the person's alcohol or
        drug use under Section 11-501.01 of this Code.
        In determining whether an applicant is eligible for a
    restricted driving permit under this subparagraph (F), the
    Secretary may consider any relevant evidence, including,
    but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and the
    results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons subject
    to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of
    Section 6-208 of this Code and who have been convicted of
    more than one violation of paragraph (3), paragraph (4), or
    paragraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of this
    Code shall not be eligible to apply for a restricted
    driving permit under this subparagraph (F).
        A restricted driving permit issued under this
    subparagraph (F) shall provide that the holder may only
    operate motor vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock
    device as required under paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of
    Section 6-205 of this Code and subparagraph (A) of
    paragraph 3 of subsection (c) of this Section. The
    Secretary may revoke a restricted driving permit or amend
    the conditions of a restricted driving permit issued under
    this subparagraph (F) if the holder operates a vehicle that
    is not equipped with an ignition interlock device, or for
    any other reason authorized under this Code.
        A restricted driving permit issued under this
    subparagraph (F) shall be revoked, and the holder barred
    from applying for or being issued a restricted driving
    permit in the future, if the holder is convicted of a
    violation of Section 11-501 of this Code, a similar
    provision of a local ordinance, or a similar offense in
    another state.
    (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use
only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities,
the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the
Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver
under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the
person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made
available to the driver licensing administrator of any other
state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected
driver or motor carrier or prospective motor carrier upon
request.
    (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person
by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license
will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of
the notice.
    (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the
reissuance of a driver's license or permit to an applicant
whose driver's license or permit has been suspended before he
or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
participate in a driver remedial education course and be
retested under Section 6-109 of this Code.
    (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the
Drivers License Compact.
    (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted
driving permit to a person under the age of 16 years whose
driving privileges have been suspended or revoked under any
provisions of this Code.
    (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of
State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the
operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a
CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked,
cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code.

    State vehicle registration number and vehicle make, if
    specified on the automated speed enforcement system
    violation or automated traffic law violation notice, are

    request of suspension sent whenever a person has failed to
    pay the fine or penalty or has defaulted on a payment plan.
    (d) Any municipality or county making a certified report to

the Secretary of State, in a form prescribed by the Secretary,
whenever a person named in the certified report has paid the
previously reported fine or penalty, whenever a person named in
the certified report has entered into a payment plan pursuant
to which the municipality or county has agreed to terminate the
suspension, or whenever the municipality or county determines
that the original report was in error. A certified copy of such
notification shall also be given upon request and at no
additional charge to the person named therein. Upon receipt of
the municipality's or county's notification or presentation of
a certified copy of such notification, the Secretary of State

state the grounds for such a challenge, which may be limited to
(1) the person not having been the owner or lessee of the
vehicle or vehicles receiving 10 or more standing, parking, or
compliance violation notices or a combination of 5 or more
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law
violations on the date or dates such notices were issued; and

speed enforcement system regulations under Section 11-208.8,
or automated traffic law regulations under Section 11-208.6,
11-208.9, or 11-1201.1, may also cause a suspension of a

failure to satisfy any fine or penalty imposed by final
judgment for 10 or more violations of local standing, parking,
or compliance regulations or a combination of 5 or more
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law
violations after exhaustion of judicial review procedures, but

        (1) the municipality or county complies with the
    provisions of this Section in all respects except in regard
    to enacting an ordinance pursuant to Section 11-208.3;
        (2) the municipality or county has sent a notice of

    1,000,000 or more, the municipality or county has verified
    that the alleged violator's State vehicle registration
    number and vehicle make are correct as they appear on the
    citations.
    (g) Any municipality or county, other than a municipality
or county establishing standing, parking, and compliance
regulations pursuant to Section 11-208.3, automated speed
enforcement system regulations under Section 11-208.8, or
automated traffic law regulations under Section 11-208.6,
11-208.9, or 11-1201.1, may provide by ordinance for the

the person who has failed to satisfy any fine or penalty
imposed by final judgment for 10 or more violations of local
standing, parking, or compliance regulations or a combination

traffic law violations after exhaustion of judicial review
procedures. An ordinance so providing shall specify that the
notice sent to the person liable for any fine or penalty shall
state that failure to pay the fine or penalty owing within 45
days of the notice's date will result in the municipality or
county notifying the Secretary of State that the person's
drivers license is eligible for suspension pursuant to this
Section. The notice of impending drivers license suspension
shall be sent by first class United States mail, postage
prepaid, to the address recorded with the Secretary of State or
at the last address known to the lessor of the cited vehicle at
the time of lease or, if any notice sent under Section 11-208.3
of this Code is returned as undeliverable, to the last known
address recorded in a United States Post Office approved
database.

    (625 ILCS 5/11-208.3)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-208.3)
    Sec. 11-208.3. Administrative adjudication of violations
of traffic regulations concerning the standing, parking, or
condition of vehicles, automated traffic law violations, and
automated speed enforcement system violations.
    (a) Any municipality or county may provide by ordinance for
a system of administrative adjudication of vehicular standing
and parking violations and vehicle compliance violations as
described in this subsection, automated traffic law violations
as defined in Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1, and
automated speed enforcement system violations as defined in
Section 11-208.8. The administrative system shall have as its
purpose the fair and efficient enforcement of municipal or
county regulations through the administrative adjudication of
automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law
violations and violations of municipal or county ordinances
regulating the standing and parking of vehicles, the condition
and use of vehicle equipment, and the display of municipal or
county wheel tax licenses within the municipality's or county's
borders. The administrative system shall only have authority to
adjudicate civil offenses carrying fines not in excess of $500
or requiring the completion of a traffic education program, or
both, that occur after the effective date of the ordinance
adopting such a system under this Section. For purposes of this
Section, "compliance violation" means a violation of a
municipal or county regulation governing the condition or use
of equipment on a vehicle or governing the display of a
municipal or county wheel tax license.
    (b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative
adjudication under this Section shall provide for:
        (1) A traffic compliance administrator authorized to
    adopt, distribute and process parking, compliance, and
    automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
    law violation notices and other notices required by this
    Section, collect money paid as fines and penalties for
    violation of parking and compliance ordinances and
    automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic
    law violations, and operate an administrative adjudication
    system. The traffic compliance administrator also may make
    a certified report to the Secretary of State under Section
    6-306.5.
        (2) A parking, standing, compliance, automated speed
    enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation
    notice that shall specify the date, time, and place of
    violation of a parking, standing, compliance, automated
    speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
    regulation; the particular regulation violated; any
    requirement to complete a traffic education program; the
    fine and any penalty that may be assessed for late payment
    or failure to complete a required traffic education
    program, or both, when so provided by ordinance; the
    vehicle make and state registration number; and the
    identification number of the person issuing the notice.
    With regard to automated speed enforcement system or
    automated traffic law violations, vehicle make shall be
    specified on the automated speed enforcement system or
    automated traffic law violation notice if the make is
    available and readily discernible. With regard to
    municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million
    or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking
    violation if the state registration number or vehicle make
    specified is incorrect. The violation notice shall state
    that the completion of any required traffic education
    program, the payment of any indicated fine, and the payment
    of any applicable penalty for late payment or failure to
    complete a required traffic education program, or both,
    shall operate as a final disposition of the violation. The
    notice also shall contain information as to the
    availability of a hearing in which the violation may be
    contested on its merits. The violation notice shall specify
    the time and manner in which a hearing may be had.
        (3) Service of the parking, standing, or compliance
    violation notice by affixing the original or a facsimile of
    the notice to an unlawfully parked vehicle or by handing
    the notice to the operator of a vehicle if he or she is
    present and service of an automated speed enforcement
    system or automated traffic law violation notice by mail to
    the address of the registered owner or lessee of the cited
    vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State or the
    lessor of the motor vehicle within 30 days after the
    Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle
    notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the
    owner or lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days
    after the violation, except that in the case of a lessee of
    a motor vehicle, service of an automated traffic law
    violation notice may occur no later than 210 days after the
    violation. A person authorized by ordinance to issue and
    serve parking, standing, and compliance violation notices
    shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered on
    the violation notice by signing his or her name to the
    notice at the time of service or in the case of a notice
    produced by a computerized device, by signing a single
    certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance
    administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices
    produced by the device while it was under his or her
    control. In the case of an automated traffic law violation,
    the ordinance shall require a determination by a technician
    employed or contracted by the municipality or county that,
    based on inspection of recorded images, the motor vehicle
    was being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6,
    11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance. If the
    technician determines that the vehicle entered the
    intersection as part of a funeral procession or in order to
    yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation
    shall not be issued. In municipalities with a population of
    less than 1,000,000 inhabitants and counties with a
    population of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the
    automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all
    determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
    being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
    or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
    approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
    enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
    the violation. In municipalities with a population of
    1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a
    population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the automated
    traffic law ordinance shall require that all
    determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
    being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
    or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
    approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
    enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
    the violation or by an additional fully-trained reviewing
    technician who is not employed by the contractor who
    employs the technician who made the initial determination.
    In the case of an automated speed enforcement system
    violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a
    technician employed by the municipality, based upon an
    inspection of recorded images, video or other
    documentation, including documentation of the speed limit
    and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation
    of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the
    speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in
    violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a
    similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that
    the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated,
    certified speed equipment device based upon the speed
    equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an emergency
    vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The automated speed
    enforcement ordinance shall require that all
    determinations by a technician that a violation occurred be
    reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or
    retired law enforcement officer of the municipality
    issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained
    reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor
    who employs the technician who made the initial
    determination. Routine and independent calibration of the
    speeds produced by automated speed enforcement systems and
    equipment shall be conducted annually by a qualified
    technician. Speeds produced by an automated speed
    enforcement system shall be compared with speeds produced
    by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or lidar
    equipment shall undergo an internal validation test no less
    frequently than once each week. Qualified technicians
    shall test loop based equipment no less frequently than
    once a year. Radar equipment shall be checked for accuracy
    by a qualified technician when the unit is serviced, when
    unusual or suspect readings persist, or when deemed
    necessary by a reviewing technician. Radar equipment shall
    be checked with the internal frequency generator and the
    internal circuit test whenever the radar is turned on.
    Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect
    readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar
    unit persist, that unit shall immediately be removed from
    service and not returned to service until it has been
    checked by a qualified technician and determined to be
    functioning properly. Documentation of the annual
    calibration results, including the equipment tested, test
    date, technician performing the test, and test results,
    shall be maintained and available for use in the
    determination of an automated speed enforcement system
    violation and issuance of a citation. The technician
    performing the calibration and testing of the automated
    speed enforcement equipment shall be trained and certified
    in the use of equipment for speed enforcement purposes.
    Training on the speed enforcement equipment may be
    conducted by law enforcement, civilian, or manufacturer's
    personnel and if applicable may be equivalent to the
    equipment use and operations training included in the Speed
    Measuring Device Operator Program developed by the
    National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
    The vendor or technician who performs the work shall keep
    accurate records on each piece of equipment the technician
    calibrates and tests. As used in this paragraph,
    "fully-trained reviewing technician" means a person who
    has received at least 40 hours of supervised training in
    subjects which shall include image inspection and
    interpretation, the elements necessary to prove a
    violation, license plate identification, and traffic
    safety and management. In all municipalities and counties,
    the automated speed enforcement system or automated
    traffic law ordinance shall require that no additional fee
    shall be charged to the alleged violator for exercising his
    or her right to an administrative hearing, and persons
    shall be given at least 25 days following an administrative
    hearing to pay any civil penalty imposed by a finding that
    Section 11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a
    similar local ordinance has been violated. The original or
    a facsimile of the violation notice or, in the case of a
    notice produced by a computerized device, a printed record
    generated by the device showing the facts entered on the
    notice, shall be retained by the traffic compliance
    administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary
    course of business. A parking, standing, compliance,
    automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
    law violation notice issued, signed and served in
    accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the
    computer generated record shall be prima facie correct and
    shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
    facts shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer
    generated record shall be admissible in any subsequent
    administrative or legal proceedings.
        (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered
    owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing,
    compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
    automated traffic law violation notice in which the owner
    may contest the merits of the alleged violation, and during
    which formal or technical rules of evidence shall not
    apply; provided, however, that under Section 11-1306 of
    this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited in the violation
    notice likewise shall be provided an opportunity for a
    hearing of the same kind afforded the registered owner. The
    hearings shall be recorded, and the person conducting the
    hearing on behalf of the traffic compliance administrator
    shall be empowered to administer oaths and to secure by
    subpoena both the attendance and testimony of witnesses and
    the production of relevant books and papers. Persons
    appearing at a hearing under this Section may be
    represented by counsel at their expense. The ordinance may
    also provide for internal administrative review following
    the decision of the hearing officer.
        (5) Service of additional notices, sent by first class
    United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the
    registered owner of the cited vehicle as recorded with the
    Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is
    returned as undeliverable, to the last known address
    recorded in a United States Post Office approved database,
    or, under Section 11-1306 or subsection (p) of Section
    11-208.6 or 11-208.9, or subsection (p) of Section 11-208.8
    of this Code, to the lessee of the cited vehicle at the
    last address known to the lessor of the cited vehicle at
    the time of lease or, if any notice to that address is
    returned as undeliverable, to the last known address
    recorded in a United States Post Office approved database.
    The service shall be deemed complete as of the date of
    deposit in the United States mail. The notices shall be in
    the following sequence and shall include but not be limited
    to the information specified herein:
            (i) A second notice of parking, standing, or
        compliance violation. This notice shall specify the
        date and location of the violation cited in the
        parking, standing, or compliance violation notice, the
        particular regulation violated, the vehicle make and
        state registration number, any requirement to complete
        a traffic education program, the fine and any penalty
        that may be assessed for late payment or failure to
        complete a traffic education program, or both, when so
        provided by ordinance, the availability of a hearing in
        which the violation may be contested on its merits, and
        the time and manner in which the hearing may be had.
        The notice of violation shall also state that failure
        to complete a required traffic education program, to
        pay the indicated fine and any applicable penalty, or
        to appear at a hearing on the merits in the time and
        manner specified, will result in a final determination
        of violation liability for the cited violation in the
        amount of the fine or penalty indicated, and that, upon
        the occurrence of a final determination of violation
        liability for the failure, and the exhaustion of, or
        failure to exhaust, available administrative or
        judicial procedures for review, any incomplete traffic
        education program or any unpaid fine or penalty, or
        both, will constitute a debt due and owing the
        municipality or county.
            (ii) A notice of final determination of parking,
        standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
        system, or automated traffic law violation liability.
        This notice shall be sent following a final
        determination of parking, standing, compliance,
        automated speed enforcement system, or automated
        traffic law violation liability and the conclusion of
        judicial review procedures taken under this Section.
        The notice shall state that the incomplete traffic
        education program or the unpaid fine or penalty, or
        both, is a debt due and owing the municipality or
        county. The notice shall contain warnings that failure
        to complete any required traffic education program or
        to pay any fine or penalty due and owing the
        municipality or county, or both, within the time
        specified may result in the municipality's or county's
        filing of a petition in the Circuit Court to have the
        incomplete traffic education program or unpaid fine or
        penalty, or both, rendered a judgment as provided by
        this Section, or, where applicable, may result in
        suspension of the person's drivers license for failure
        to complete a traffic education program or to pay fines
        or penalties, or both, for 10 or more parking
        violations under Section 6-306.5, or a combination of 5
        or more automated traffic law violations under Section
        11-208.6 or 11-208.9 or automated speed enforcement
        system violations under Section 11-208.8.
        (6) A notice of impending drivers license suspension.
    This notice shall be sent to the person liable for failure
    to complete a required traffic education program or to pay
    any fine or penalty that remains due and owing, or both, on
    10 or more parking violations or combination of 5 or more
    unpaid automated speed enforcement system or automated
    traffic law violations. The notice shall state that failure
    to complete a required traffic education program or to pay
    the fine or penalty owing, or both, within 45 days of the
    notice's date will result in the municipality or county
    notifying the Secretary of State that the person is
    eligible for initiation of suspension proceedings under
    Section 6-306.5 of this Code. The notice shall also state
    that the person may obtain a photostatic copy of an
    original ticket imposing a fine or penalty by sending a
    self addressed, stamped envelope to the municipality or
    county along with a request for the photostatic copy. The
    notice of impending drivers license suspension shall be
    sent by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to
    the address recorded with the Secretary of State or, if any
    notice to that address is returned as undeliverable, to the
    last known address recorded in a United States Post Office
    approved database.
        (7) Final determinations of violation liability. A
    final determination of violation liability shall occur
    following failure to complete the required traffic
    education program or to pay the fine or penalty, or both,
    after a hearing officer's determination of violation
    liability and the exhaustion of or failure to exhaust any
    administrative review procedures provided by ordinance.
    Where a person fails to appear at a hearing to contest the
    alleged violation in the time and manner specified in a
    prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's determination
    of violation liability shall become final: (A) upon denial
    of a timely petition to set aside that determination, or
    (B) upon expiration of the period for filing the petition
    without a filing having been made.
        (8) A petition to set aside a determination of parking,
    standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
    or automated traffic law violation liability that may be
    filed by a person owing an unpaid fine or penalty. A
    petition to set aside a determination of liability may also
    be filed by a person required to complete a traffic
    education program. The petition shall be filed with and
    ruled upon by the traffic compliance administrator in the
    manner and within the time specified by ordinance. The
    grounds for the petition may be limited to: (A) the person
    not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on
    the date the violation notice was issued, (B) the person
    having already completed the required traffic education
    program or paid the fine or penalty, or both, for the
    violation in question, and (C) excusable failure to appear
    at or request a new date for a hearing. With regard to
    municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million
    or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking
    violation if the state registration number, or vehicle make
    if specified, is incorrect. After the determination of
    parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
    system, or automated traffic law violation liability has
    been set aside upon a showing of just cause, the registered
    owner shall be provided with a hearing on the merits for
    that violation.
        (9) Procedures for non-residents. Procedures by which
    persons who are not residents of the municipality or county
    may contest the merits of the alleged violation without
    attending a hearing.
        (10) A schedule of civil fines for violations of
    vehicular standing, parking, compliance, automated speed
    enforcement system, or automated traffic law regulations
    enacted by ordinance pursuant to this Section, and a
    schedule of penalties for late payment of the fines or
    failure to complete required traffic education programs,
    provided, however, that the total amount of the fine and
    penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250, except
    as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 of this
    Code.
        (11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to
    carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated in
    this Section.
    (c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular
standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law regulations under this Section
may also provide by ordinance for a program of vehicle
immobilization for the purpose of facilitating enforcement of
those regulations. The program of vehicle immobilization shall
provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the public
way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation
of the vehicle. Any ordinance establishing a program of vehicle
immobilization under this Section shall provide:
        (1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible
    for immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for
    immobilization when the registered owner of the vehicle has
    accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education
    programs or unpaid final determinations of parking,
    standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
    or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, as
    determined by ordinance.
        (2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and a
    right to a hearing to challenge the validity of the notice
    by disproving liability for the incomplete traffic
    education programs or unpaid final determinations of
    parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
    system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or
    both, listed on the notice.
        (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has
    been immobilized or subsequently towed without the
    completion of the required traffic education program or
    payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking,
    standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
    or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which
    final determinations have been issued. An order issued
    after the hearing is a final administrative decision within
    the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
    Procedure.
        (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice
    advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right
    to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
    (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking,
standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
automated traffic law violations and final administrative
decisions issued after hearings regarding vehicle
immobilization and impoundment made under this Section shall be
subject to the provisions of the Administrative Review Law.
    (e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education
program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining unpaid
after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust,
administrative remedies created under this Section and the
conclusion of any judicial review procedures shall be a debt
due and owing the municipality or county and, as such, may be
collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any
required traffic education program and payment in full of any
fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violation shall constitute a final disposition of that
violation.
    (f) After the expiration of the period within which
judicial review may be sought for a final determination of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violation, the municipality or
county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for
purposes of obtaining a judgment on the final determination of
violation. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a municipality
or county from consolidating multiple final determinations of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violations against a person in
a proceeding. Upon commencement of the action, the municipality
or county shall file a certified copy or record of the final
determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated
speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation,
which shall be accompanied by a certification that recites
facts sufficient to show that the final determination of
violation was issued in accordance with this Section and the
applicable municipal or county ordinance. Service of the
summons and a copy of the petition may be by any method
provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by
certified mail, return receipt requested, provided that the
total amount of fines and penalties for final determinations of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violations does not exceed
$2500. If the court is satisfied that the final determination
of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
system, or automated traffic law violation was entered in
accordance with the requirements of this Section and the
applicable municipal or county ordinance, and that the
registered owner or the lessee, as the case may be, had an
opportunity for an administrative hearing and for judicial
review as provided in this Section, the court shall render
judgment in favor of the municipality or county and against the
registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in the
final determination of parking, standing, compliance,
automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violation, plus costs. The judgment shall have the same effect
and may be enforced in the same manner as other judgments for
the recovery of money.
    (g) The fee for participating in a traffic education
program under this Section shall not exceed $25.
    A low-income individual required to complete a traffic
education program under this Section who provides proof of
eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under
Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned
income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax
Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a
required traffic education program.
