8        (6) In each case the Secretary of State may issue a
9    restricted driving permit for a period he deems
10    appropriate, except that the permit shall expire within one
11    year from the date of issuance. A restricted driving permit
12    issued under this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
13    revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
14    like manner and for like cause as a driver's license issued
15    under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or suspended;
16    except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
17    laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall
18    be deemed sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension,
19    or cancellation of a restricted driving permit. The
20    Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a
21    restricted driving permit, require the petitioner to
22    participate in a designated driver remedial or
23    rehabilitative program. The Secretary of State is

25    permit holder does not successfully complete the program.
26    However, if an individual's driving privileges have been

 

 

HB3177- 29 -LRB100 10689 AXK 20913 b

11homicide or a similar out-of-state offense, the person's
12driving privileges shall be revoked pursuant to subdivision
13(a)(15) of this Section. The person may not make application
14for a license or permit until the expiration of five years from
15the effective date of the revocation or the expiration of five
16years from the date of release from a term of imprisonment,
17whichever is later.
18    (c-7) If a person is convicted of a third or subsequent
19violation of operating a motor vehicle while the person's
20driver's license, permit or privilege was revoked, where the
21revocation was for a violation of Section 9-3 of the Criminal
22Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 relating to the
23offense of reckless homicide or a similar out-of-state offense,
24the person may never apply for a license or permit.
25    (d)(1) Whenever a person under the age of 21 is convicted

6issue a restricted driving permit granting the privilege of
7driving a motor vehicle only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9
8p.m. or as otherwise provided by this Section for a period of
9one year. After this one-year period, and upon reapplication
10for a license as provided in Section 6-106, upon payment of the

12Section 6-118, the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may
13reinstate the petitioner's driver's license and driving
14privileges, or extend the restricted driving permit as many
15times as the Secretary of State deems appropriate, by
16additional periods of not more than 12 months each.
17        (2) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
18    suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
19    11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local

25    occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
26    permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been

6        11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
7        ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
8        Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the

11        a similar out-of-state offense; or
12            (B) a statutory summary suspension or revocation
13        under Section 11-501.1; or

6    fees.
7        (5) If the restricted driving permit is issued for

9    a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock
10    device does not apply to the operation of an occupational
11    vehicle owned or leased by that person's employer when used
12    solely for employment purposes. For any person who, within
13    a 5-year period, is convicted of a second or subsequent

7    determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
8    being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
9    or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
10    approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
11    enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
12    the violation or by an additional fully-trained reviewing
13    technician who is not employed by the contractor who
14    employs the technician who made the initial determination.
15    In the case of an automated speed enforcement system
16    violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a
17    technician employed by the municipality, based upon an
18    inspection of recorded images, video or other
19    documentation, including documentation of the speed limit
20    and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation
21    of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the
22    speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in
23    violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a
24    similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that
25    the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated,
26    certified speed equipment device based upon the speed

 

 

HB3177- 71 -LRB100 10689 AXK 20913 b

1    equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an emergency
2    vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The automated speed
3    enforcement ordinance shall require that all
4    determinations by a technician that a violation occurred be
5    reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or
6    retired law enforcement officer of the municipality
7    issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained
8    reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor
9    who employs the technician who made the initial
10    determination. Routine and independent calibration of the
11    speeds produced by automated speed enforcement systems and
12    equipment shall be conducted annually by a qualified
13    technician. Speeds produced by an automated speed
14    enforcement system shall be compared with speeds produced
15    by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or lidar
16    equipment shall undergo an internal validation test no less
17    frequently than once each week. Qualified technicians
18    shall test loop based equipment no less frequently than
19    once a year. Radar equipment shall be checked for accuracy
20    by a qualified technician when the unit is serviced, when
21    unusual or suspect readings persist, or when deemed
22    necessary by a reviewing technician. Radar equipment shall
23    be checked with the internal frequency generator and the
24    internal circuit test whenever the radar is turned on.
25    Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect
26    readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar

 

 

HB3177- 72 -LRB100 10689 AXK 20913 b

2    service and not returned to service until it has been
3    checked by a qualified technician and determined to be
4    functioning properly. Documentation of the annual
5    calibration results, including the equipment tested, test
6    date, technician performing the test, and test results,
7    shall be maintained and available for use in the
8    determination of an automated speed enforcement system
9    violation and issuance of a citation. The technician
10    performing the calibration and testing of the automated
11    speed enforcement equipment shall be trained and certified
12    in the use of equipment for speed enforcement purposes.
13    Training on the speed enforcement equipment may be

15    personnel and if applicable may be equivalent to the
16    equipment use and operations training included in the Speed
17    Measuring Device Operator Program developed by the
18    National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
19    The vendor or technician who performs the work shall keep
20    accurate records on each piece of equipment the technician
21    calibrates and tests. As used in this paragraph,
22    "fully-trained reviewing technician" means a person who
23    has received at least 40 hours of supervised training in
24    subjects which shall include image inspection and
25    interpretation, the elements necessary to prove a
26    violation, license plate identification, and traffic

11    notice produced by a computerized device, a printed record
12    generated by the device showing the facts entered on the
13    notice, shall be retained by the traffic compliance
14    administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary
15    course of business. A parking, standing, compliance,
16    automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
17    law violation notice issued, signed and served in
18    accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the
19    computer generated record shall be prima facie correct and
20    shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
21    facts shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer
22    generated record shall be admissible in any subsequent
23    administrative or legal proceedings.
24        (4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered
25    owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing,

3    provided, however, that the total amount of the fine and
4    penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250, except
5    as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 of this
6    Code.
7        (11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to
8    carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated in
9    this Section.
10    (c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular
11standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement
12system, or automated traffic law regulations under this Section
13may also provide by ordinance for a program of vehicle

7    system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or
8    both, listed on the notice.
9        (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has
10    been immobilized or subsequently towed without the
11    completion of the required traffic education program or
12    payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking,
13    standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
14    or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which
15    final determinations have been issued. An order issued
16    after the hearing is a final administrative decision within
17    the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
18    Procedure.
19        (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice
20    advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right
21    to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
22    (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking,
23standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
24automated traffic law violations and final administrative
25decisions issued after hearings regarding vehicle
26immobilization and impoundment made under this Section shall be

7due and owing the municipality or county and, as such, may be
8collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any
9required traffic education program and payment in full of any
10fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking, compliance,
11automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
12violation shall constitute a final disposition of that
13violation.
14    (f) After the expiration of the period within which
15judicial review may be sought for a final determination of
16parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
17system, or automated traffic law violation, the municipality or
18county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for
19purposes of obtaining a judgment on the final determination of
20violation. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a municipality
21or county from consolidating multiple final determinations of
22parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
23system, or automated traffic law violations against a person in
24a proceeding. Upon commencement of the action, the municipality
25or county shall file a certified copy or record of the final

13of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
14system, or automated traffic law violation was entered in
15accordance with the requirements of this Section and the
16applicable municipal or county ordinance, and that the
17registered owner or the lessee, as the case may be, had an
18opportunity for an administrative hearing and for judicial
19review as provided in this Section, the court shall render
20judgment in favor of the municipality or county and against the
21registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in the
22final determination of parking, standing, compliance,
23automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
24violation, plus costs. The judgment shall have the same effect
25and may be enforced in the same manner as other judgments for
26the recovery of money.
