 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
 2    Section 7-606.
 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.   The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is amended by
 6    changing Section 7-606 as follows:
 7        (625 ILCS 5/7-606) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 7-606)
 8        Sec. 7-606.  Uninsured motor vehicles  -  suspension  and
 9    reinstatement.    The  Secretary  shall  suspend  the vehicle
10    registration of any motor vehicle determined by the Secretary
11    to be in violation of Section 7-601 of this  Code,  including
12    any  motor  vehicle  operated  in violation of Section 3-707,
13    3-708 or 3-710 of this Code by an  operator  other  than  the
14    owner  of  the vehicle.  Neither the fact that, subsequent to
15    the date of verification or conviction,  the  owner  acquired
16    the required liability insurance policy nor the fact that the
17    owner  terminated  ownership  of the motor vehicle shall have
18    any bearing upon the Secretary's decision to suspend.
19        The Secretary is authorized to suspend  the  registration
20    of  any motor vehicle registered in this State upon receiving
21    notice of the conviction of the operator of the motor vehicle
22    in another State of an offense which, if  committed  in  this
23    State,  would constitute a violation of Section 7-601 of this
24    Code.
25        Until it is terminated, the suspension  shall  remain  in
26    force after the registration is renewed or a new registration
27    is acquired for the motor vehicle.  The suspension also shall
28    apply  to  any motor vehicle to which the owner transfers the
29    registration.
30        In the case of a first  violation,  the  Secretary  shall
31    terminate  the  suspension  upon  payment  by  the owner of a
HB1494 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9002923NTsb
 1    reinstatement  fee  of  $100  and  submission  of  proof   of
 2    insurance  as  prescribed  by  the  Secretary.  However,  the
 3    Secretary  may  not terminate the suspension if the uninsured
 4    motor vehicle was involved in a motor vehicle accident until,
 5    in addition, any tow truck has been reimbursed for towing the
 6    uninsured motor vehicle.
 7        In the case of a second  or  subsequent  violation  by  a
 8    person  having  ownership  interest  in  a  motor  vehicle or
 9    vehicles within the preceding 4  years,  or  a  violation  of
10    Section 3-708 of this Code, the Secretary shall terminate the
11    suspension  4 months after its effective date upon payment by
12    the owner of a reinstatement fee of $100  and  submission  of
13    proof  of  insurance as prescribed by the Secretary. However,
14    the  Secretary  may  not  terminate  the  suspension  if  the
15    uninsured motor vehicle  was  involved  in  a  motor  vehicle
16    accident   until,   in  addition,  any  tow  truck  has  been
17    reimbursed for towing the uninsured motor vehicle.
18        All fees collected under this Section shall be  deposited
19    into the Road Fund of the State treasury.
