26vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration

 

 

HB1307 Engrossed- 4 -LRB097 05237 HEP 45287 b

1of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
2as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
3other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
4presumptions:
5        1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
6    of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
7    not under the influence of alcohol.
8        2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
9    in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
10    give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not

12    considered with other competent evidence in determining
13    whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
14        3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
15    of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
16    under the influence of alcohol.
17        4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
18    be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
19    relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
20    person was under the influence of alcohol.
21    (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
22chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
23evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or

2physical control of a motor vehicle.
3    2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to
4submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
5consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
6probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
7actual physical control of a person under the influence of
8alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
9compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
10personal injury to another, that person shall submit, upon the
11request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or
12tests of his or her blood, breath or urine for the purpose of
13determining the alcohol content thereof or the presence of any
14other drug or combination of both.
15    This provision does not affect the applicability of or
16imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
1711-501.1 of this Code.
18    3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes
19any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report

13the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this
14Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown
15to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
16consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
17ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
18shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section
19if the individual's blood alcohol concentration resulted only
20from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
21medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing
22shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending
23suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be limited to the
24issues of:
25        (1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
26    believe that the person was driving or in actual physical

 

 

HB1307 Engrossed- 12 -LRB097 05237 HEP 45287 b

1    control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of the
2    State and the police officer had reason to believe that the
3    person was in violation of any provision of the Illinois
4    Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance;
5    and
6        (2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
7    Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
8    similar provision of a local ordinance; and
9        (3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
10    believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
11    alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
12    actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
13    officer; and
14        (4) whether the person, after being advised by the
15    officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would
16    be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
17    complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
18    complete the test or tests to determine the person's
19    alcohol concentration; and
20        (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
21    officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
22    would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical test
23    or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
24    concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and complete
25    the test or tests that determined an alcohol concentration
26    of more than 0.00; and

 

 

HB1307 Engrossed- 13 -LRB097 05237 HEP 45287 b

1        (6) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
2    of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
3    of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
4    ceremony; and
5        (7) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
6    of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
7    of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or
8    recommended dosage of medicine.
9    At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118
10of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or
11modify the suspension and disqualification. If the Secretary of
12State does not rescind the suspension and disqualification, a
13restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of
14State upon application being made and good cause shown. A
15restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
16hardship by allowing driving for employment, educational, and
17medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of Section
186-206 of this Code. The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of
19Section 6-206 of this Code and of subsection (f) of that
20Section shall apply. The Secretary of State shall promulgate
21rules providing for participation in an alcohol education and
22awareness program or activity, a drug education and awareness
23program or activity, or both as a condition to the issuance of
24a restricted driving permit for suspensions imposed under this
25Section.
26    (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in

 

 

HB1307 Engrossed- 14 -LRB097 05237 HEP 45287 b

1accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
2admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that the
3results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
4under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
5testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
6under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
7may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension of driving
8privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this Code if other
9physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms the basis of
10that suspension.
11    (g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under age
1221 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for
13a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
14of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is made under
15this Section.
16    (h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
17revoking, cancelling, or disqualifying any license or permit
18shall be subject to judicial review in the Circuit Court of
19Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the
20provisions of the Administrative Review Law and its rules are
21hereby adopted and shall apply to and govern every action for
22the judicial review of final acts or decisions of the Secretary
23of State under this Section.

2officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
3suspension and disqualification to the driver by mailing a
4notice of the effective date of the suspension and
5disqualification to the individual. However, should the sworn
6report be defective by not containing sufficient information or
7be completed in error, the notice of the suspension and
8disqualification shall not be mailed to the person or entered
9to the driving record, but rather the sworn report shall be
10returned to the issuing law enforcement agency.
11    (e) A driver may contest this suspension and
12disqualification by requesting an administrative hearing with
13the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this
14Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown
15to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
16consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
17ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
18shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section
19if the individual's blood alcohol concentration resulted only
20from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
21medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing
22shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending
23suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be limited to the
24issues of:
25        (1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
26    believe that the person was driving or in actual physical

 

 

HB1307 Engrossed- 21 -LRB097 05237 HEP 45287 b

1    control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of the
2    State and the police officer had reason to believe that the
3    person was in violation of any provision of the Illinois
4    Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance;
5    and
6        (2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
7    Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
8    similar provision of a local ordinance; and
9        (3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
10    believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
11    alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
12    actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
13    officer; and
14        (4) whether the person, after being advised by the
15    officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would
16    be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
17    complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
18    complete the test or tests to determine the person's
19    alcohol concentration; and
20        (5) whether the person, after being advised by the
21    officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
22    would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical test
23    or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
24    concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and complete
25    the test or tests that determined an alcohol concentration
26    of more than 0.00; and

 

 

HB1307 Engrossed- 22 -LRB097 05237 HEP 45287 b

1        (6) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
2    of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
3    of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
4    ceremony; and
5        (7) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
6    of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
7    of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or
8    recommended dosage of medicine.
9    At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118
10of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or
11modify the suspension and disqualification. If the Secretary of
12State does not rescind the suspension and disqualification, a
13restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of
14State upon application being made and good cause shown. A
15restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
16hardship by allowing driving for employment, educational, and
17medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of Section
186-206 of this Code. The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of
19Section 6-206 of this Code and of subsection (f) of that
20Section shall apply. The Secretary of State shall promulgate
21rules providing for participation in an alcohol education and
22awareness program or activity, a drug education and awareness
23program or activity, or both as a condition to the issuance of
24a restricted driving permit for suspensions imposed under this
25Section.
26    (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in

1accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
2admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that the
3results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
4under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
5testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
6under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
7may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
8revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this
9Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms
10the basis of that suspension or revocation.
11    (g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under age
1221 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for
13a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
14of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is made under
15this Section.
16    (h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
17revoking, cancelling, or disqualifying any license or permit
18shall be subject to judicial review in the Circuit Court of
19Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the
20provisions of the Administrative Review Law and its rules are
21hereby adopted and shall apply to and govern every action for
22the judicial review of final acts or decisions of the Secretary
23of State under this Section.
