Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that in addition to any other fine or penalty required by law, an individual convicted of reckless driving or speeding in excess of 40 miles per hour over the posted speed limit and the violation proximately caused an incident resulting in an appropriate emergency response, shall be required to make restitution to a public agency for the costs of that emergency response in an amount not exceeding $1,000 per public agency for each emergency response. Effective July 1, 2010.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill and makes the following changes. Provides that in addition to any other fine or penalty required by law, the court may assess an additional criminal penalty (rather than requiring a person to pay restitution) in an amount not exceeding $500 (rather than $1,000) per public agency for each emergency response related to (rather than proximately caused by) a person's conviction for reckless driving or speeding in excess of 40 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. Effective July 1, 2010.

House Floor Amendment No. 3
Provides that the additional criminal penalty may not exceed $100 per public agency for each emergency response provided for a first reckless driving or excessive speeding violation and $500 for a second or subsequent violation (rather than $500 for each emergency response provided, as provided in the introduced bill, as amended).
