Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

625 ILCS 5/7-606

    (625 ILCS 5/7-606) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 7-606)
    Sec. 7-606. Uninsured motor vehicles - suspension and reinstatement. The Secretary shall suspend the vehicle registration of any motor vehicle determined by the Secretary to be in violation of Section 7-601 of this Code, including any motor vehicle operated in violation of Section 3-707, 3-708 or 3-710 of this Code by an operator other than the owner of the vehicle. Neither the fact that, subsequent to the date of verification or conviction, the owner acquired the required liability insurance policy nor the fact that the owner terminated ownership of the motor vehicle shall have any bearing upon the Secretary's decision to suspend.
    The Secretary is authorized to suspend the registration of any motor vehicle registered in this State upon receiving notice of the conviction of the operator of the motor vehicle in another State of an offense which, if committed in this State, would constitute a violation of Section 7-601 of this Code.
    Until it is terminated, the suspension shall remain in force after the registration is renewed or a new registration is acquired for the motor vehicle. The suspension also shall apply to any motor vehicle to which the owner transfers the registration.
    In the case of a first violation, the Secretary shall terminate the suspension upon payment by the owner of a reinstatement fee of $100 and submission of proof of insurance as prescribed by the Secretary.
    In the case of a second or subsequent violation by a person having ownership interest in a motor vehicle or vehicles within the preceding 4 years, or a violation of Section 3-708 of this Code, the Secretary shall terminate the suspension 4 months after its effective date upon payment by the owner of a reinstatement fee of $100 and submission of proof of insurance as prescribed by the Secretary.
    All fees collected under this Section shall be disbursed under subsection (g) of Section 2-119 of this Code.
