27 alcohol or other drug related suspension.
28     (a) A statutory summary suspension of driving privileges

31 informed that he may request a hearing in the circuit court of

 

 

HB4325 - 2 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

4     (b) Within 90 days after the notice of statutory summary
5 suspension served under Section 11-501.1, the person may make a
6 written request for a judicial hearing in the circuit court of
7 venue. The request to the circuit court shall state the grounds
8 upon which the person seeks to have the statutory summary

18     The hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law
19 enforcement officer's own official reports; provided however,
20 that the person may subpoena the officer. Failure of the
21 officer to answer the subpoena shall be considered grounds for
22 a continuance if in the court's discretion the continuance is
23 appropriate.

25         1. Whether the person was placed under arrest for an

28     issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, or issued a Uniform
29     Traffic Ticket out of state as provided in subsection (a)
30     of Section 11-501.1; and
31         2. Whether the officer had reasonable grounds to
32     believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
33     control of a motor vehicle upon a highway while under the
34     influence of alcohol, other drug, or combination of both;
35     and
36         3. Whether the person, after being advised by the

 

 

HB4325 - 3 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would
2     be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
3     complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
4     complete the test or tests to determine the person's
5     alcohol or drug concentration; or
6         4. Whether the person, after being advised by the
7     officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would
8     be suspended if the person submits to a chemical test, or
9     tests, and the test discloses an alcohol concentration of
10     0.06 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or
11     compound in the person's blood or urine resulting from the
12     unlawful use or consumption of cannabis listed in the
13     Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the
14     Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating
15     compound as listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds
16     Act, and the person did submit to and complete the test or
17     tests that determined an alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08
18     or more.
19     Upon the conclusion of the judicial hearing, the circuit
20 court shall sustain or rescind the statutory summary suspension
21 and immediately notify the Secretary of State. Reports received
22 by the Secretary of State under this Section shall be
23 privileged information and for use only by the courts, police

20     or continue an order of revocation or shall substitute an
21     order of suspension; or, good cause appearing therefor,
22     rescind, continue, change, or extend the order of
23     suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the
24     order, the Secretary may upon application, to relieve undue
25     hardship, issue a restricted driving permit granting the

32     indicates, provide transportation for alcohol remedial or
33     rehabilitative activity, or for the petitioner to attend
34     classes, as a student, in an accredited educational
35     institution; if the petitioner is able to demonstrate that
36     no alternative means of transportation is reasonably

 

 

HB4325 - 11 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
2     safety or welfare.
3         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
4     suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating Section
5     11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
6     ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, arising out of
7     separate occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted
8     driving permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has
9     been equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined
10     in Section 1-129.1.
11         If a person's license or permit has been revoked or
12     suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due to a
13     single conviction of violating Section 11-501 of this Code
14     or a similar provision of a local ordinance or a similar
15     out-of-state offense, and a statutory summary suspension
16     under Section 11-501.1, or 2 or more statutory summary
17     suspensions, or combination of 2 offenses, or of an offense
18     and a statutory summary suspension, arising out of separate
19     occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted driving
20     permit, may not operate a vehicle unless it has been
21     equipped with an ignition interlock device as defined in
22     Section 1-129.1. The person must pay to the Secretary of
23     State DUI Administration Fund an amount not to exceed $20
24     per month. The Secretary shall establish by rule the amount
25     and the procedures, terms, and conditions relating to these
26     fees. If the restricted driving permit was issued for
27     employment purposes, then this provision does not apply to
28     the operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
29     that person's employer. In each case the Secretary may
30     issue a restricted driving permit for a period deemed
31     appropriate, except that all permits shall expire within
32     one year from the date of issuance. The Secretary may not,
33     however, issue a restricted driving permit to any person
34     whose current revocation is the result of a second or
35     subsequent conviction for a violation of Section 11-501 of
36     this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance

3 summary alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound
4 or compounds related suspension; implied consent.
5     (a) Any person who drives or is in actual physical control
6 of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State shall
7 be deemed to have given consent, subject to the provisions of
8 Section 11-501.2, to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath,
9 or urine for the purpose of determining the content of alcohol,
10 other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds or
11 any combination thereof in the person's blood if arrested, as
12 evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any
13 offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of
14 a local ordinance. The test or tests shall be administered at
15 the direction of the arresting officer. The law enforcement
16 agency employing the officer shall designate which of the
17 aforesaid tests shall be administered. A urine test may be
18 administered even after a blood or breath test or both has been
19 administered. For purposes of this Section, an Illinois law
20 enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the
21 person for any offense defined in Section 11-501 may travel
22 into an adjoining state, where the person has been transported
23 for medical care, to complete an investigation and to request
24 that the person submit to the test or tests set forth in this
25 Section. The requirements of this Section that the person be
26 arrested are inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the
27 person a Uniform Traffic Ticket for an offense as defined in
28 Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance
29 prior to requesting that the person submit to the test or
30 tests. The issuance of the Uniform Traffic Ticket shall not
31 constitute an arrest, but shall be for the purpose of notifying
32 the person that he or she is subject to the provisions of this
33 Section and of the officer's belief of the existence of
34 probable cause to arrest. Upon returning to this State, the
35 officer shall file the Uniform Traffic Ticket with the Circuit
36 Clerk of the county where the offense was committed, and shall

7 may be administered, subject to the provisions of Section
8 11-501.2.
9     (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided

20 covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance
21 listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or an
22 intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
23 Compounds Act is detected in the person's blood or urine, a
24 statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege to
25 operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Sections 6-208.1 and
26 11-501.1 of this Code, will be imposed.
27     A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the person
28 is requested to submit to a test as provided above shall, in
29 addition to the warnings provided for in this Section, be
30 further warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the
31 test that if the person submits to the test or tests provided
32 in paragraph (a) of this Section and the alcohol concentration
33 in the person's blood or breath is greater than 0.00 and less
34 than 0.06 0.08, a suspension of the person's privilege to
35 operate a motor vehicle, as provided under Sections 6-208.2 and

4 ordinance or pursuant to Section 11-501.4 in prosecutions for
5 reckless homicide brought under the Criminal Code of 1961.
6 These test results, however, shall be admissible only in
7 actions or proceedings directly related to the incident upon
8 which the test request was made.
9     (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
10 discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08 or more, or any
11 amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in the

28 11-500 of this Code, and is not convicted of a violation of
29 Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
30 ordinance, then reports received by the Secretary of State

11 proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined
12 in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings
13 pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of
14 alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
15 compounds, or any combination thereof in a person's blood or

25     registered nurse, trained phlebotomist acting under the
26     direction of a licensed physician, certified paramedic, or
27     other individual possessing a valid permit issued by that
28     Department for this purpose. The Director of State Police
29     is authorized to approve satisfactory techniques or

31     individuals to conduct such analyses, to issue permits
32     which shall be subject to termination or revocation at the

5     authorized to practice medicine, a registered nurse,
6     trained phlebotomist, or certified paramedic, or other
7     qualified person approved by the Department of State Police
8     may withdraw blood for the purpose of determining the
9     alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug content therein. This
10     limitation shall not apply to the taking of breath or urine
11     specimens.
12         When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an
13     adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an
14     Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
15     withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
16     medicine in the adjoining state, a registered nurse, a
17     trained phlebotomist acting under the direction of the
18     physician, or certified paramedic. The law enforcement

21     laboratory certified by the Department of State Police for
22     that purpose.
23         3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
24     qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
25     qualified person of their own choosing administer a
26     chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at

28     inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
29     not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test
30     or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
31     officer.
32         4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
33     chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
34     officer, full information concerning the test or tests

2     alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
3     per 210 liters of breath.
4     (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
5 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
6 by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
7 vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration
8 of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
9 as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
10 other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
11 presumptions:
12         1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
13     of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
14     not under the influence of alcohol.
15         2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
16     in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.06 0.08, such facts shall
17     not give rise to any presumption that the person was or was
18     not under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
19     considered with other competent evidence in determining
20     whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
21         3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
22     of 0.06 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person
23     was under the influence of alcohol.

25     be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
26     relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
27     person was under the influence of alcohol.
 
28     (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
29 chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,

31 criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
32 have been committed while the person under the influence of
33 alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
34 compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
35 physical control of a motor vehicle.

3     implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
4     officer has probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle
5     driven by or in actual physical control of a person under
6     the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or
7     intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
8     thereof has caused the death or personal injury to another,
9     that person shall submit, upon the request of a law
10     enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
11     her blood, breath or urine for the purpose of determining
12     the alcohol content thereof or the presence of any other
13     drug or combination of both.
14     This provision does not affect the applicability of or
15 imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
16 11-501.1 of this Code.
17         3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury
18     includes any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic
19     accident report completed by a law enforcement officer that
20     requires immediate professional attention in either a
21     doctor's office or a medical facility. A Type A injury
22     includes severe bleeding wounds, distorted extremities,
23     and injuries that require the injured party to be carried
24     from the scene.

29 fatal motor vehicle accident - chemical test.
30     (a) Any person who drives or is in actual control of a
31 motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State and who
32 has been involved in a personal injury or fatal motor vehicle
33 accident, shall be deemed to have given consent to a breath
34 test using a portable device as approved by the Department of

2 other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds of
3 such person's blood if arrested as evidenced by the issuance of
4 a Uniform Traffic Ticket for any violation of the Illinois
5 Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance, with
6 the exception of equipment violations contained in Chapter 12
7 of this Code, or similar provisions of local ordinances. The
8 test or tests shall be administered at the direction of the
9 arresting officer. The law enforcement agency employing the
10 officer shall designate which of the aforesaid tests shall be
11 administered. A urine test may be administered even after a
12 blood or breath test or both has been administered. Compliance
13 with this Section does not relieve such person from the
14 requirements of Section 11-501.1 of this Code.
15     (b) Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is otherwise
16 in a condition rendering such person incapable of refusal shall
17 be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by
18 subsection (a) of this Section. In addition, if a driver of a
19 vehicle is receiving medical treatment as a result of a motor
20 vehicle accident, any physician licensed to practice medicine,
21 registered nurse or a phlebotomist acting under the direction
22 of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood for testing
23 purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol, other drug or
24 drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, upon the specific
25 request of a law enforcement officer. However, no such testing
26 shall be performed until, in the opinion of the medical
27 personnel on scene, the withdrawal can be made without
28 interfering with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
29     (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
30 above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting
31 the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or submission to
32 the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08 or
33 more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating
34 compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
35 cannabis, as covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
36 substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or

1 an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
2 Compounds Act as detected in such person's blood or urine, may
3 result in the suspension of such person's privilege to operate
4 a motor vehicle. The length of the suspension shall be the same
5 as outlined in Section 6-208.1 of this Code regarding statutory
6 summary suspensions.
7     (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test
8 which discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08 or more,
9 or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in
10 such person's blood or urine resulting from the unlawful use or
11 consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a
12 controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
13 Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use
14 of Intoxicating Compounds Act, the law enforcement officer
15 shall immediately submit a sworn report to the Secretary of
16 State on a form prescribed by the Secretary, certifying that
17 the test or tests were requested pursuant to subsection (a) and
18 the person refused to submit to a test or tests or submitted to
19 testing which disclosed an alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08
20 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating
21 compound in such person's blood or urine, resulting from the
22 unlawful use or consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis
23 Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
24 Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound listed
25 in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act.
26     Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
27 officer, the Secretary shall enter the suspension to the
28 individual's driving record and the suspension shall be
29 effective on the 46th day following the date notice of the
30 suspension was given to the person.
31     The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
32 shall serve immediate notice of this suspension on the person
33 and such suspension shall be effective on the 46th day
34 following the date notice was given.
35     In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08
36 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating

 

 

HB4325 - 39 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
2 cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
3 substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or
4 an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
5 Compounds Act, is established by a subsequent analysis of blood
6 or urine collected at the time of arrest, the arresting officer
7 shall give notice as provided in this Section or by deposit in
8 the United States mail of such notice in an envelope with
9 postage prepaid and addressed to such person at his address as
10 shown on the Uniform Traffic Ticket and the suspension shall be
11 effective on the 46th day following the date notice was given.
12     Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
13 officer, the Secretary shall also give notice of the suspension
14 to the driver by mailing a notice of the effective date of the
15 suspension to the individual. However, should the sworn report
16 be defective by not containing sufficient information or be
17 completed in error, the notice of the suspension shall not be
18 mailed to the person or entered to the driving record, but
19 rather the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law
20 enforcement agency.
21     (e) A driver may contest this suspension of his driving
22 privileges by requesting an administrative hearing with the
23 Secretary in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code. At the
24 conclusion of a hearing held under Section 2-118 of this Code,
25 the Secretary may rescind, continue, or modify the order of
26 suspension. If the Secretary does not rescind the order, a
27 restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary upon
28 application being made and good cause shown. A restricted
29 driving permit may be granted to relieve undue hardship to
30 allow driving for employment, educational, and medical
31 purposes as outlined in Section 6-206 of this Code. The
32 provisions of Section 6-206 of this Code shall apply.
33     (f) (Blank).

8     Sec. 11-501.8. Suspension of driver's license; persons
9 under age 21.
10     (a) A person who is less than 21 years of age and who
11 drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon
12 the public highways of this State shall be deemed to have given
13 consent to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath, or urine
14 for the purpose of determining the alcohol content of the
15 person's blood if arrested, as evidenced by the issuance of a
16 Uniform Traffic Ticket for any violation of the Illinois
17 Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance, if a
18 police officer has probable cause to believe that the driver
19 has consumed any amount of an alcoholic beverage based upon
20 evidence of the driver's physical condition or other first hand
21 knowledge of the police officer. The test or tests shall be
22 administered at the direction of the arresting officer. The law
23 enforcement agency employing the officer shall designate which
24 of the aforesaid tests shall be administered. A urine test may
25 be administered even after a blood or breath test or both has
26 been administered.
27     (b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise
28 in a condition rendering that person incapable of refusal,
29 shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by
30 paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or tests may be
31 administered subject to the following provisions:
32         (i) Chemical analysis of the person's blood, urine,
33     breath, or other bodily substance, to be considered valid
34     under the provisions of this Section, shall have been
35     performed according to standards promulgated by the

 

 

HB4325 - 41 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     Department of State Police by an individual possessing a
2     valid permit issued by that Department for this purpose.
3     The Director of State Police is authorized to approve
4     satisfactory techniques or methods, to ascertain the
5     qualifications and competence of individuals to conduct
6     analyses, to issue permits that shall be subject to
7     termination or revocation at the direction of that
8     Department, and to certify the accuracy of breath testing
9     equipment. The Department of State Police shall prescribe
10     regulations as necessary.
11         (ii) When a person submits to a blood test at the
12     request of a law enforcement officer under the provisions
13     of this Section, only a physician authorized to practice
14     medicine, a registered nurse, or other qualified person
15     trained in venipuncture and acting under the direction of a
16     licensed physician may withdraw blood for the purpose of
17     determining the alcohol content therein. This limitation
18     does not apply to the taking of breath or urine specimens.
19         (iii) The person tested may have a physician, qualified
20     technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified
21     person of his or her own choosing administer a chemical
22     test or tests in addition to any test or tests administered
23     at the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure
24     or inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
25     not preclude the consideration of the previously performed
26     chemical test.
27         (iv) Upon a request of the person who submits to a
28     chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
29     officer, full information concerning the test or tests
30     shall be made available to the person or that person's
31     attorney.
32         (v) Alcohol concentration means either grams of
33     alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
34     per 210 liters of breath.
35         (vi) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a
36     result of a motor vehicle accident, a physician licensed to

 

 

HB4325 - 42 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     practice medicine, registered nurse, or other qualified
2     person trained in venipuncture and acting under the
3     direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood for
4     testing purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol upon
5     the specific request of a law enforcement officer. However,
6     that testing shall not be performed until, in the opinion
7     of the medical personnel on scene, the withdrawal can be
8     made without interfering with or endangering the
9     well-being of the patient.
10     (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
11 above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting
12 the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or submission to
13 the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of more than
14 0.00, may result in the loss of that person's privilege to
15 operate a motor vehicle. The loss of driving privileges shall
16 be imposed in accordance with Section 6-208.2 of this Code.
17     (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
18 discloses an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law
19 enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
20 the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
21 State, certifying that the test or tests were requested under
22 subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test or
23 tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol
24 concentration of more than 0.00. The law enforcement officer
25 shall submit the same sworn report when a person under the age
26 of 21 submits to testing under Section 11-501.1 of this Code
27 and the testing discloses an alcohol concentration of more than
28 0.00 and less than 0.06 0.08.
29     Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
30 officer, the Secretary of State shall enter the driver's
31 license sanction on the individual's driving record and the
32 sanctions shall be effective on the 46th day following the date
33 notice of the sanction was given to the person. If this
34 sanction is the individual's first driver's license suspension
35 under this Section, reports received by the Secretary of State
36 under this Section shall, except during the time the suspension

 

 

HB4325 - 43 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 is in effect, be privileged information and for use only by the
2 courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, the
3 Secretary of State, or the individual personally.
4     The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
5 shall serve immediate notice of this driver's license sanction
6 on the person and the sanction shall be effective on the 46th
7 day following the date notice was given.
8     In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more than
9 0.00 is established by a subsequent analysis of blood or urine,
10 the police officer or arresting agency shall give notice as
11 provided in this Section or by deposit in the United States
12 mail of that notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and
13 addressed to that person at his last known address and the loss
14 of driving privileges shall be effective on the 46th day
15 following the date notice was given.
16     Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
17 officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
18 driver's license sanction to the driver by mailing a notice of
19 the effective date of the sanction to the individual. However,
20 should the sworn report be defective by not containing
21 sufficient information or be completed in error, the notice of
22 the driver's license sanction may not be mailed to the person
23 or entered to the driving record, but rather the sworn report
24 shall be returned to the issuing law enforcement agency.
25     (e) A driver may contest this driver's license sanction by
26 requesting an administrative hearing with the Secretary of
27 State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code. An
28 individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown to be
29 more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
30 consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
31 ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
32 shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section
33 if the individual's blood alcohol concentration resulted only
34 from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
35 medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing
36 shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending

 

 

HB4325 - 44 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

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

 

 

HB4325 - 45 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or
2     recommended dosage of medicine.
3     Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer, the
4 hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law enforcement
5 officer's own official reports. Failure of the officer to
6 answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a continuance if, in
7 the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
8 appropriate. At the conclusion of the hearing held under
9 Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind,
10 continue, or modify the driver's license sanction. If the
11 Secretary of State does not rescind the sanction, a restricted
12 driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of State upon
13 application being made and good cause shown. A restricted
14 driving permit may be granted to relieve undue hardship by
15 allowing driving for employment, educational, and medical
16 purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of Section 6-206
17 of this Code. The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of Section
18 6-206 of this Code shall apply. The Secretary of State shall
19 promulgate rules providing for participation in an alcohol
20 education and awareness program or activity, a drug education
21 and awareness program or activity, or both as a condition to
22 the issuance of a restricted driving permit for suspensions
23 imposed under this Section.
24     (f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
25 accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
26 admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that the
27 results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
28 under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
29 testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
30 under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
31 may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension of driving
32 privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this Code if other
33 physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms the basis of
34 that suspension.
35     (g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under age
36 21 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for

 

 

HB4325 - 46 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
2 of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is made under
3 this Section.
4     (h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
5 revoking, or denying any license, permit, registration, or
6 certificate of title shall be subject to judicial review in the
7 Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court of
8 Cook County, and the provisions of the Administrative Review
9 Law and its rules are hereby adopted and shall apply to and
10 govern every action for the judicial review of final acts or
11 decisions of the Secretary of State under this Section.

14     Section 10. The Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act is
15 amended by changing Section 5-7.1 as follows:
 
16     (625 ILCS 40/5-7.1)
17     Sec. 5-7.1. Implied consent.
18     (a) A person who operates or is in actual physical control
19 of a snowmobile in this State is deemed to have given consent
20 to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath, or urine for the
21 purpose of determining the content of alcohol, other drug or
22 drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or a combination of
23 them in that person's blood if arrested for a violation of
24 Section 5-7. The chemical test or tests shall be administered
25 at the direction of the arresting officer. The law enforcement
26 agency employing the officer shall designate which tests shall
27 be administered. A urine test may be administered even after a
28 blood or breath test or both has been administered.
29     (a-1) For the purposes of this Section, an Illinois law
30 enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the
31 person for any offense defined in Section 5-7 may travel into
32 an adjoining state, where the person has been transported for
33 medical care to complete an investigation and to request that
34 the person submit to the test or tests set forth in this

 

 

HB4325 - 47 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 Section. The requirements of this Section that the person be
2 arrested are inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the
3 person a uniform citation for an offense as defined in Section
4 5-7 or a similar provision of a local ordinance prior to
5 requesting that the person submit to the test or tests. The
6 issuance of the uniform citation shall not constitute an
7 arrest, but shall be for the purpose of notifying the person
8 that he or she is subject to the provisions of this Section and
9 of the officer's belief of the existence of probable cause to
10 arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall file
11 the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the county where
12 the offense was committed and shall seek the issuance of an
13 arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
14     (a-2) Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Act
15 to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
16 consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
17 probable cause to believe that a snowmobile operated by or
18 under actual physical control of a person under the influence
19 of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
20 compounds, or any combination of them has caused the death or
21 personal injury to another, that person shall submit, upon the
22 request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or
23 tests of his or her blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of
24 determining the alcohol content or the presence of any other
25 drug or combination of both. For the purposes of this Section,
26 a personal injury includes severe bleeding wounds, distorted
27 extremities, and injuries that require the injured party to be
28 carried from the scene for immediate professional attention in
29 either a doctor's office or a medical facility.
30     (b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise
31 in a condition rendering that person incapable of refusal, is
32 deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided in subsection
33 (a), and the test or tests may be administered.
34     (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided in
35 this Section shall be verbally advised by the law enforcement
36 officer requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the

 

 

HB4325 - 48 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 test will result in suspension of that person's privilege to
2 operate a snowmobile for a minimum of 2 years.
3     (d) Following this warning, if a person under arrest
4 refuses upon the request of a law enforcement officer to submit
5 to a test designated by the officer, no tests may be given, but
6 the law enforcement officer shall file with the clerk of the
7 circuit court for the county in which the arrest was made, and
8 with the Department of Natural Resources, a sworn statement
9 naming the person refusing to take and complete the chemical
10 test or tests requested under the provisions of this Section.
11 The sworn statement shall identify the arrested person, the
12 person's current residence address and shall specify that a
13 refusal by that person to take the chemical test or tests was
14 made. The sworn statement shall include a statement that the
15 officer had reasonable cause to believe the person was
16 operating or was in actual physical control of the snowmobile
17 within this State while under the influence of alcohol, other
18 drug or drugs, an intoxicating compound or compound, or a
19 combination of them and that a chemical test or tests were
20 requested as an incident to and following the lawful arrest for
21 an offense as defined in Section 5-7 or a similar provision of
22 a local ordinance, and that the person, after being arrested
23 for an offense arising out of acts alleged to have been
24 committed while operating a snowmobile, refused to submit to
25 and complete a chemical test or tests as requested by the law
26 enforcement officer.
27     (e) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
28 statement shall serve immediate written notice upon the person
29 refusing the chemical test or tests that the person's privilege
30 to operate a snowmobile within this State will be suspended for

32 notice, the person requests in writing a hearing on the
33 suspension.
34     If the person desires a hearing, the person shall file a
35 complaint in the circuit court in the county where that person
36 was arrested within 28 days from the date of the notice. The

 

 

HB4325 - 49 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 hearing shall proceed in the court in the same manner as other
2 civil proceedings. The hearing shall cover only the following
3 issues: (1) whether the person was placed under arrest for an
4 offense as defined in Section 5-7 or a similar provision of a
5 local ordinance as evidenced by the issuance of a uniform
6 citation; (2) whether the arresting officer had reasonable
7 grounds to believe that the person was operating a snowmobile
8 while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, an
9 intoxicating compound or compounds, or a combination of them;
10 and (3) whether that person refused to submit to and complete
11 the chemical test or tests upon the request of the law
12 enforcement officer. Whether the person was informed that the
13 person's privilege to operate a snowmobile would be suspended
14 if that person refused to submit to the chemical test or tests
15 may not be an issue in the hearing.
16     If the person fails to request a hearing in writing within
17 28 days of the date of the notice, or if a hearing is held and
18 the court finds against the person on the issues before the
19 court, the clerk shall immediately notify the Department of
20 Natural Resources, and the Department shall suspend the
21 snowmobile operation privileges of that person for at least 2
22 years.
23     (f) (Blank).
24     (f-1) If the person submits to a test that discloses an
25 alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08 or more, or any amount of a
26 drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in the person's
27 breath, blood, or urine resulting from the unlawful use of
28 cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
29 substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or
30 an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
31 Compounds Act, the law enforcement officer shall immediately
32 submit a sworn report to the circuit clerk of venue and the
33 Department of Natural Resources, certifying that the test or
34 tests was or were requested under subsection (a-1) of this
35 Section and the person submitted to testing that disclosed an
36 alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08 or more.

 

 

HB4325 - 50 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08
2 or greater or any amount of drug, substance, or compound
3 resulting from the unlawful use of cannabis, a controlled
4 substance, or an intoxicating compound is established by a
5 subsequent analysis of blood or urine collected at the time of
6 arrest, the arresting officer or arresting agency shall
7 immediately submit a sworn report to the circuit clerk of venue
8 and the Department of Natural Resources upon receipt of the
9 test results.
10     (g) A person must submit to each chemical test offered by
11 the law enforcement officer in order to comply with implied
12 consent provisions of this Section.
13     (h) The provision of Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois
14 Vehicle Code concerning the certification and use of chemical
15 tests applies to the use of those tests under this Section.

20     shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, except as
21     otherwise provided in this Section.

3         6. (a) In addition to any criminal penalties imposed,
4         the Department of Natural Resources shall suspend the

15     (B) 1. Any person who operates or is in actual physical
16     control of any watercraft upon the waters of this State
17     shall be deemed to have given consent to a chemical test or
18     tests of blood, breath or urine for the purpose of
19     determining the content of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
20     intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination thereof
21     in the person's blood if arrested for any offense of
22     subsection (A) above. The chemical test or tests shall be
23     administered at the direction of the arresting officer. The
24     law enforcement agency employing the officer shall
25     designate which of the tests shall be administered. A urine
26     test may be administered even after a blood or breath test
27     or both has been administered.
28         1.1. For the purposes of this Section, an Illinois Law
29     Enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the
30     person for any offense defined in Section 5-16 may travel
31     into an adjoining state, where the person has been
32     transported for medical care to complete an investigation,
33     and may request that the person submit to the test or tests
34     set forth in this Section. The requirements of this Section
35     that the person be arrested are inapplicable, but the
36     officer shall issue the person a uniform citation for an

 

 

HB4325 - 54 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     offense as defined in Section 5-16 or a similar provision
2     of a local ordinance prior to requesting that the person
3     submit to the test or tests. The issuance of the uniform
4     citation shall not constitute an arrest, but shall be for
5     the purpose of notifying the person that he or she is
6     subject to the provisions of this Section and of the
7     officer's belief in the existence of probable cause to
8     arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall
9     file the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the
10     county where the offense was committed and shall seek the
11     issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
12         1.2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this
13     Act to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the
14     implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
15     officer has probable cause to believe that a watercraft
16     operated by or under actual physical control of a person
17     under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
18     intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination of
19     them has caused the death of or personal injury to another,
20     that person shall submit, upon the request of a law
21     enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
22     her blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of determining
23     the alcohol content or the presence of any other drug,
24     intoxicating compound, or combination of them. For the
25     purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes severe
26     bleeding wounds, distorted extremities, and injuries that
27     require the injured party to be carried from the scene for
28     immediate professional attention in either a doctor's
29     office or a medical facility.
30         2. Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is
31     otherwise in a condition rendering such person incapable of
32     refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent
33     provided above, and the test may be administered.
34         3. A person requested to submit to a chemical test as
35     provided above shall be verbally advised by the law
36     enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to

 

 

HB4325 - 55 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     submit to the test will result in suspension of such
2     person's privilege to operate a watercraft for a minimum of
3     2 years. Following this warning, if a person under arrest
4     refuses upon the request of a law enforcement officer to
5     submit to a test designated by the officer, no test shall
6     be given, but the law enforcement officer shall file with
7     the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which the
8     arrest was made, and with the Department of Natural
9     Resources, a sworn statement naming the person refusing to
10     take and complete the chemical test or tests requested
11     under the provisions of this Section. Such sworn statement
12     shall identify the arrested person, such person's current
13     residence address and shall specify that a refusal by such
14     person to take the chemical test or tests was made. Such
15     sworn statement shall include a statement that the
16     arresting officer had reasonable cause to believe the
17     person was operating or was in actual physical control of
18     the watercraft within this State while under the influence
19     of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
20     compounds, or combination thereof and that such chemical
21     test or tests were made as an incident to and following the
22     lawful arrest for an offense as defined in this Section or
23     a similar provision of a local ordinance, and that the
24     person after being arrested for an offense arising out of
25     acts alleged to have been committed while so operating a
26     watercraft refused to submit to and complete a chemical
27     test or tests as requested by the law enforcement officer.
28         3.1. The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
29     statement as provided in paragraph 3 of this subsection (B)
30     shall serve immediate written notice upon the person
31     refusing the chemical test or tests that the person's
32     privilege to operate a watercraft within this State will be
33     suspended for a period of 2 years unless, within 28 days
34     from the date of the notice, the person requests in writing
35     a hearing on the suspension.
36         If the person desires a hearing, such person shall file

 

 

HB4325 - 56 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     a complaint in the circuit court for and in the county in
2     which such person was arrested for such hearing. Such
3     hearing shall proceed in the court in the same manner as
4     other civil proceedings, shall cover only the issues of
5     whether the person was placed under arrest for an offense
6     as defined in this Section or a similar provision of a
7     local ordinance as evidenced by the issuance of a uniform
8     citation; whether the arresting officer had reasonable
9     grounds to believe that such person was operating a
10     watercraft while under the influence of alcohol, other drug
11     or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or
12     combination thereof; and whether such person refused to
13     submit and complete the chemical test or tests upon the
14     request of the law enforcement officer. Whether the person
15     was informed that such person's privilege to operate a
16     watercraft would be suspended if such person refused to
17     submit to the chemical test or tests shall not be an issue.
18         If the person fails to request in writing a hearing
19     within 28 days from the date of notice, or if a hearing is
20     held and the court finds against the person on the issues
21     before the court, the clerk shall immediately notify the
22     Department of Natural Resources, and the Department shall
23     suspend the watercraft operation privileges of the person
24     for at least 2 years.
25         3.2. If the person submits to a test that discloses an
26     alcohol concentration of 0.06 0.08 or more, or any amount
27     of a drug, substance or intoxicating compound in the
28     person's breath, blood, or urine resulting from the
29     unlawful use of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control
30     Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
31     Controlled Substances Act, or an intoxicating compound
32     listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, the law
33     enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn
34     report to the circuit clerk of venue and the Department of
35     Natural Resources, certifying that the test or tests were
36     requested under paragraph 1 of this subsection (B) and the

 

 

HB4325 - 57 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1     person submitted to testing that disclosed an alcohol
2     concentration of 0.06 0.08 or more.
3         In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.06
4     0.08 or greater or any amount of drug, substance or
5     compound resulting from the unlawful use of cannabis, a
6     controlled substance or an intoxicating compound is
7     established by a subsequent analysis of blood or urine
8     collected at the time of arrest, the arresting officer or
9     arresting agency shall immediately submit a sworn report to
10     the circuit clerk of venue and the Department of Natural
11     Resources upon receipt of the test results.
12         4. A person must submit to each chemical test offered
13     by the law enforcement officer in order to comply with the
14     implied consent provisions of this Section.
15         5. The provisions of Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois
16     Vehicle Code, as amended, concerning the certification and
17     use of chemical tests apply to the use of such tests under
18     this Section.
19     (C) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
20 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
21 by any person while operating a watercraft while under the
22 influence of alcohol, the concentration of alcohol in the
23 person's blood or breath at the time alleged as shown by
24 analysis of a person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily
25 substance shall give rise to the presumptions specified in
26 subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 of subsection (b) of Section 11-501.2
27 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The foregoing provisions of this
28 subsection (C) shall not be construed as limiting the
29 introduction of any other relevant evidence bearing upon the
30 question whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
31     (D) If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
32 chemical test under the provisions of this Section, evidence of
33 refusal shall be admissible in any civil or criminal action or
34 proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
35 while the person under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
36 drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination of

 

 

HB4325 - 58 - LRB093 16606 DRH 42256 b

1 them was operating a watercraft.
2     (E) The owner of any watercraft or any person given
3 supervisory authority over a watercraft, may not knowingly
4 permit a watercraft to be operated by any person under the
5 influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
6 compound or compounds, or combination thereof.
7     (F) Whenever any person is convicted or found guilty of a
8 violation of this Section, including any person placed on court
9 supervision, the court shall notify the Office of Law
10 Enforcement of the Department of Natural Resources, to provide
11 the Department with the records essential for the performance
12 of the Department's duties to monitor and enforce any order of
13 suspension or revocation concerning the privilege to operate a
14 watercraft.
15     (G) No person who has been arrested and charged for
16 violating paragraph 1 of subsection (A) of this Section shall
17 operate any watercraft within this State for a period of 24
18 hours after such arrest.
