of Section 11-501 | ||||||
32 | of the Illinois Vehicle
Code, or Section 9-3 of this
Code makes | ||||||
33 | a showing
that the seized vehicle is the only source of | ||||||
34 | transportation and it is
determined that the financial hardship | ||||||
35 | to the family as a result of the seizure
outweighs the benefit | ||||||
36 | to the State from the seizure, the vehicle may be

8 | one
forfeiture per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a | ||||||
9 | subsequent
forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent | ||||||
10 | conviction of either spouse or
the family member, the spouse or | ||||||
11 | family member to whom the vehicle was
forfeited under the first | ||||||
12 | forfeiture proceeding may not utilize the
provisions of this | ||||||
13 | paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of
the | ||||||
14 | vehicle seized owns more than one vehicle,
the procedure set | ||||||
15 | out in this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
| ||||||
16 | Property declared contraband under Section 40 of the | ||||||
17 | Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act may be | ||||||
18 | seized and forfeited under this
Article.
