(625 ILCS 5/7-704.1) Sec. 7-704.1. Duration of driver's license suspension upon certification of Department of Healthcare and Family Services. (a) When a suspension of a driver's license occurs as the result of a certification by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services under subsection (c) of Section 7-702, the suspension shall remain in effect until the Secretary of State receives notification from the Department that the person whose license was suspended has paid the support delinquency in full or has arranged for payment of the delinquency and current support obligation in a manner satisfactory to the Department. (b) Whenever, after one suspension of an individual's driver's license based on certification of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, another certification is received from the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, the Secretary shall again suspend the driver's license of that individual and that suspension shall not be removed unless the obligor is in full compliance with the order of support and has made full payment on all arrearages or has arranged for payment of the arrearages and current support obligation in a manner satisfactory to the Department. The provision in this Section regarding the compliance necessary to remove an active suspension applies equally to all individuals who have had a driver's license suspended due to nonpayment of child support, regardless of whether that suspension occurred before or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.
