1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or Section 9-3 of this Code makes
2 a showing that the seized vehicle is the only source of

4 to the family as a result of the seizure outweighs the benefit
5 to the State from the seizure, the vehicle may be forfeited to
6 the spouse or family member and the title to the vehicle shall
7 be transferred to the spouse or family member who is properly
8 licensed and who requires the use of the vehicle for employment
9 or family transportation purposes. A written declaration of
10 forfeiture of a vehicle under this Section shall be sufficient
11 cause for the title to be transferred to the spouse or family
12 member. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to
13 one forfeiture per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a
14 subsequent forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent
15 conviction of either spouse or the family member, the spouse or
16 family member to whom the vehicle was forfeited under the first
17 forfeiture proceeding may not utilize the provisions of this
18 paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of the
19 vehicle seized owns more than one vehicle, the procedure set
20 out in this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
