Section 5. The Criminal Identification Act is amended by
changing Section 5.2 as follows:
(20 ILCS 2630/5.2)
Sec. 5.2. Expungement and sealing.
(a) General Provisions.
(1) Definitions. In this Act, words and phrases have
the meanings set forth in this subsection, except when a

(xiv) Supervision (730 ILCS 5/5-1-21), and
(xv) Victim (730 ILCS 5/5-1-22).
(B) As used in this Section, "charge not initiated

(C) "Conviction" means a judgment of conviction or
sentence entered upon a plea of guilty or upon a
verdict or finding of guilty of an offense, rendered by
a legally constituted jury or by a court of competent
jurisdiction authorized to try the case without a jury.
An order of supervision successfully completed by the
petitioner is not a conviction. An order of qualified
probation (as defined in subsection (a)(1)(J))
successfully completed by the petitioner is not a
conviction. An order of supervision or an order of
qualified probation that is terminated
unsatisfactorily is a conviction, unless the
unsatisfactory termination is reversed, vacated, or
modified and the judgment of conviction, if any, is
reversed or vacated.

(D) "Criminal offense" means a petty offense,

(E) "Expunge" means to physically destroy the
records or return them to the petitioner and to
obliterate the petitioner's name from any official
index or public record, or both. Nothing in this Act
shall require the physical destruction of the circuit
court file, but such records relating to arrests or
charges, or both, ordered expunged shall be impounded
as required by subsections (d)(9)(A)(ii) and
(d)(9)(B)(ii).
(F) As used in this Section, "last sentence" means
the sentence, order of supervision, or order of
qualified probation (as defined by subsection
(a)(1)(J)), for a criminal offense (as defined by
subsection (a)(1)(D)) that terminates last in time in
any jurisdiction, regardless of whether the petitioner
has included the criminal offense for which the
sentence or order of supervision or qualified
probation was imposed in his or her petition. If
multiple sentences, orders of supervision, or orders
of qualified probation terminate on the same day and

are last in time, they shall be collectively considered
the "last sentence" regardless of whether they were
ordered to run concurrently.
(G) "Minor traffic offense" means a petty offense,
business offense, or Class C misdemeanor under the
Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a
municipal or local ordinance.
(H) "Municipal ordinance violation" means an
offense defined by a municipal or local ordinance that
is criminal in nature and with which the petitioner was
charged or for which the petitioner was arrested and
released without charging.
(I) "Petitioner" means an adult or a minor
prosecuted as an adult who has applied for relief under
this Section.
(J) "Qualified probation" means an order of
probation under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act,
Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
Section 70 of the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act, Section 5-6-3.3 or 5-6-3.4

Alcoholism and Other Drug Dependency Act, Section
40-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and

Dependency Act, or Section 10 of the Steroid Control
Act. For the purpose of this Section, "successful
completion" of an order of qualified probation under
Section 10-102 of the Illinois Alcoholism and Other
Drug Dependency Act and Section 40-10 of the Alcoholism
and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act means that the
probation was terminated satisfactorily and the
judgment of conviction was vacated.
(K) "Seal" means to physically and electronically
maintain the records, unless the records would
otherwise be destroyed due to age, but to make the
records unavailable without a court order, subject to
the exceptions in Sections 12 and 13 of this Act. The
petitioner's name shall also be obliterated from the
official index required to be kept by the circuit court
clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts Act, but
any index issued by the circuit court clerk before the
entry of the order to seal shall not be affected.
(L) "Sexual offense committed against a minor"
includes but is not limited to the offenses of indecent
solicitation of a child or criminal sexual abuse when
the victim of such offense is under 18 years of age.
(M) "Terminate" as it relates to a sentence or
order of supervision or qualified probation includes
either satisfactory or unsatisfactory termination of
the sentence, unless otherwise specified in this

Section.
(2) Minor Traffic Offenses. Orders of supervision or
convictions for minor traffic offenses shall not affect a
petitioner's eligibility to expunge or seal records
pursuant to this Section.

this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, the law
enforcement agency issuing the citation shall

each year, the law enforcement records of a person found to

by law or to the arresting authority, the State's
Attorney, and the court upon a later arrest for the
same or a similar offense or for the purpose of

(v) in response to an inquiry for such records

(B-5) Upon entry of an order to expunge records
under subsection (e-6):

(D) The Department shall send written notice to the
petitioner of its compliance with each order to expunge
or seal records within 60 days of the date of service
of that order or, if a motion to vacate, modify, or
reconsider is filed, within 60 days of service of the
order resolving the motion, if that order requires the
Department to expunge or seal records. In the event of
an appeal from the circuit court order, the Department
shall send written notice to the petitioner of its
compliance with an Appellate Court or Supreme Court
judgment to expunge or seal records within 60 days of
the issuance of the court's mandate. The notice is not
required while any motion to vacate, modify, or
reconsider, or any appeal or petition for
discretionary appellate review, is pending.
(10) Fees. The Department may charge the petitioner a
fee equivalent to the cost of processing any order to
expunge or seal records. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Clerks of Courts Act to the contrary, the circuit court
clerk may charge a fee equivalent to the cost associated

with the sealing or expungement of records by the circuit
court clerk. From the total filing fee collected for the
petition to seal or expunge, the circuit court clerk shall
deposit $10 into the Circuit Court Clerk Operation and
Administrative Fund, to be used to offset the costs
incurred by the circuit court clerk in performing the
additional duties required to serve the petition to seal or
expunge on all parties. The circuit court clerk shall
collect and forward the Department of State Police portion
of the fee to the Department and it shall be deposited in
the State Police Services Fund.
(11) Final Order. No court order issued under the
expungement or sealing provisions of this Section shall
become final for purposes of appeal until 30 days after
service of the order on the petitioner and all parties
entitled to notice of the petition.
(12) Motion to Vacate, Modify, or Reconsider. Under
Section 2-1203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the
petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a
motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting
or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after
service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or
reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section
2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon filing of a
motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the

motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties
entitled to notice of the petition.
(13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
under the expungement or sealing provisions of this Section
shall not be considered void because it fails to comply
with the provisions of this Section or because of any error
asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider. The
circuit court retains jurisdiction to determine whether
the order is voidable and to vacate, modify, or reconsider
its terms based on a motion filed under paragraph (12) of
this subsection (d).
(14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal
Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order
granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to notice
of the petition must fully comply with the terms of the
order within 60 days of service of the order even if a
party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
appealing the order.
(15) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to
Expunge Records. While a party is seeking relief from the
order granting the petition to expunge through a motion
filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
appealing the order, and unless a court has entered a stay
of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records until

there is a final order on the motion for relief or, in the
case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's mandate.
(16) The changes to this subsection (d) made by Public
Act 98-163 apply to all petitions pending on August 5, 2013
(the effective date of Public Act 98-163) and to all orders
ruling on a petition to expunge or seal on or after August
5, 2013 (the effective date of Public Act 98-163).
(e) Whenever a person who has been convicted of an offense
is granted a pardon by the Governor which specifically
authorizes expungement, he or she may, upon verified petition
to the Chief Judge of the circuit where the person had been
convicted, any judge of the circuit designated by the Chief
Judge, or in counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the
presiding trial judge at the defendant's trial, have a court
order entered expunging the record of arrest from the official
records of the arresting authority and order that the records
of the circuit court clerk and the Department be sealed until
further order of the court upon good cause shown or as
otherwise provided herein, and the name of the defendant
obliterated from the official index requested to be kept by the
circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts
Act in connection with the arrest and conviction for the
offense for which he or she had been pardoned but the order
shall not affect any index issued by the circuit court clerk
before the entry of the order. All records sealed by the
Department may be disseminated by the Department only to the

arresting authority, the State's Attorney, and the court upon a
later arrest for the same or similar offense or for the purpose
of sentencing for any subsequent felony. Upon conviction for
any subsequent offense, the Department of Corrections shall
have access to all sealed records of the Department pertaining
to that individual. Upon entry of the order of expungement, the
circuit court clerk shall promptly mail a copy of the order to
the person who was pardoned.
(e-5) Whenever a person who has been convicted of an
offense is granted a certificate of eligibility for sealing by
the Prisoner Review Board which specifically authorizes
sealing, he or she may, upon verified petition to the Chief
Judge of the circuit where the person had been convicted, any
judge of the circuit designated by the Chief Judge, or in
counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the presiding
trial judge at the petitioner's trial, have a court order
entered sealing the record of arrest from the official records
of the arresting authority and order that the records of the
circuit court clerk and the Department be sealed until further
order of the court upon good cause shown or as otherwise
provided herein, and the name of the petitioner obliterated
from the official index requested to be kept by the circuit
court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts Act in
connection with the arrest and conviction for the offense for
which he or she had been granted the certificate but the order
shall not affect any index issued by the circuit court clerk

before the entry of the order. All records sealed by the
Department may be disseminated by the Department only as
required by this Act or to the arresting authority, a law
enforcement agency, the State's Attorney, and the court upon a
later arrest for the same or similar offense or for the purpose
of sentencing for any subsequent felony. Upon conviction for
any subsequent offense, the Department of Corrections shall
have access to all sealed records of the Department pertaining
to that individual. Upon entry of the order of sealing, the
circuit court clerk shall promptly mail a copy of the order to
the person who was granted the certificate of eligibility for
sealing.
(e-6) Whenever a person who has been convicted of an
offense is granted a certificate of eligibility for expungement
by the Prisoner Review Board which specifically authorizes
expungement, he or she may, upon verified petition to the Chief
Judge of the circuit where the person had been convicted, any
judge of the circuit designated by the Chief Judge, or in
counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the presiding
trial judge at the petitioner's trial, have a court order
entered expunging the record of arrest from the official
records of the arresting authority and order that the records
of the circuit court clerk and the Department be sealed until
further order of the court upon good cause shown or as
otherwise provided herein, and the name of the petitioner
obliterated from the official index requested to be kept by the

circuit court clerk under Section 16 of the Clerks of Courts
Act in connection with the arrest and conviction for the
offense for which he or she had been granted the certificate
but the order shall not affect any index issued by the circuit
court clerk before the entry of the order. All records sealed
by the Department may be disseminated by the Department only as
required by this Act or to the arresting authority, a law
enforcement agency, the State's Attorney, and the court upon a
later arrest for the same or similar offense or for the purpose
of sentencing for any subsequent felony. Upon conviction for
any subsequent offense, the Department of Corrections shall
have access to all expunged records of the Department
pertaining to that individual. Upon entry of the order of
expungement, the circuit court clerk shall promptly mail a copy
of the order to the person who was granted the certificate of
eligibility for expungement.
(f) Subject to available funding, the Illinois Department
of Corrections shall conduct a study of the impact of sealing,
especially on employment and recidivism rates, utilizing a
random sample of those who apply for the sealing of their
criminal records under Public Act 93-211. At the request of the
Illinois Department of Corrections, records of the Illinois
Department of Employment Security shall be utilized as
appropriate to assist in the study. The study shall not
disclose any data in a manner that would allow the
identification of any particular individual or employing unit.

The study shall be made available to the General Assembly no
later than September 1, 2010.

Section 10. The Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot
Program Act is amended by changing Section 65 as follows:
(410 ILCS 130/65)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018)
Sec. 65. Denial of registry identification cards.
(a) The Department of Public Health may deny an application
or renewal of a qualifying patient's registry identification
card only if the applicant:
(1) did not provide the required information and
materials;
(2) previously had a registry identification card
revoked;
(3) did not meet the requirements of this Act; or
(4) provided false or falsified information.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (b-5) of this Section,
no No person who has been convicted of a felony under the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, Cannabis Control Act, or

Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or
similar provision in a local ordinance or other jurisdiction is
eligible to receive a registry identification card.
(b-5) If a person was convicted of a felony under the
Cannabis Control Act or a similar provision of a local
ordinance or of a law of another jurisdiction, and the action
warranting that felony is no longer considered a felony after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th General
Assembly, that person shall be eligible to receive a registry
identification card.
(c) The Department of Public Health may deny an application
or renewal for a designated caregiver chosen by a qualifying
patient whose registry identification card was granted only if:
(1) the designated caregiver does not meet the
requirements of subsection (i) of Section 10;
(2) the applicant did not provide the information
required;
(3) the prospective patient's application was denied;
(4) the designated caregiver previously had a registry
identification card revoked; or
(5) the applicant or the designated caregiver provided
false or falsified information.
(d) The Department of Public Health through the Department
of State Police shall conduct a background check of the
prospective qualifying patient and designated caregiver in
order to carry out this Section. The Department of State Police

shall charge a fee for conducting the criminal history record
check, which shall be deposited in the State Police Services
Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of the record check.
Each person applying as a qualifying patient or a designated
caregiver shall submit a full set of fingerprints to the
Department of State Police for the purpose of obtaining a State
and federal criminal records check. These fingerprints shall be
checked against the fingerprint records now and hereafter, to
the extent allowed by law, filed in the Department of State
Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal history
records databases. The Department of State Police shall
furnish, following positive identification, all Illinois
conviction information to the Department of Public Health. The
Department of Public Health may waive the submission of a
qualifying patient's complete fingerprints based on (1) the
severity of the patient's illness and (2) the inability of the
qualifying patient to supply those fingerprints, provided that
a complete criminal background check is conducted by the
Department of State Police prior to the issuance of a registry
identification card.
(e) The Department of Public Health shall notify the
qualifying patient who has designated someone to serve as his
or her designated caregiver if a registry identification card
will not be issued to the designated caregiver.
(f) Denial of an application or renewal is considered a
final Department action, subject to judicial review.

Jurisdiction and venue for judicial review are vested in the
Circuit Court.

follows:
(625 ILCS 5/2-118) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 2-118)
Sec. 2-118. Hearings.
(a) Upon the suspension, revocation or denial of the
issuance of a license, permit, registration or certificate of
title under this Code of any person the Secretary of State
shall immediately notify such person in writing and upon his
written request shall, within 20 days after receipt thereof,
set a date for a hearing to commence within 90 calendar days

from the date of the written request for all requests related
to a suspension, revocation, or the denial of the issuance of a
license, permit, registration, or certificate of title
occurring after July 1, 2002, in the County of Sangamon, the
County of Jefferson, or the County of Cook, as such person may
specify, unless both parties agree that such hearing may be
held in some other county. The Secretary may require the
payment of a fee of not more than $50 for the filing of any
petition, motion, or request for hearing conducted pursuant to
this Section. These fees must be deposited into the Secretary
of State DUI Administration Fund, a special fund created in the
State treasury, and, subject to appropriation and as directed
by the Secretary of State, shall be used for operation of the
Department of Administrative Hearings of the Office of the
Secretary of State and for no other purpose. The Secretary
shall establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
and conditions relating to these fees.
(b) At any time after the suspension, revocation or denial
of a license, permit, registration or certificate of title of
any person as hereinbefore referred to, the Secretary of State,
in his or her discretion and without the necessity of a request
by such person, may hold such a hearing, upon not less than 10
days' notice in writing, in the Counties of Sangamon,
Jefferson, or Cook or in any other county agreed to by the
parties.
(c) Upon any such hearing, the Secretary of State, or his

authorized agent may administer oaths and issue subpoenas for
the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant
books and records and may require an examination of such
person. Upon any such hearing, the Secretary of State shall
either rescind or, good cause appearing therefor, continue,
change or extend the Order of Revocation or Suspension, or upon
petition therefore and subject to the provisions of this Code,
issue a restricted driving permit or reinstate the license or
permit of such person.
(d) All hearings and hearing procedures shall comply with
requirements of the Constitution, so that no person is deprived
of due process of law nor denied equal protection of the laws.
All hearings shall be held before the Secretary of State or
before such persons as may be designated by the Secretary of
State and appropriate records of such hearings shall be kept.
Where a transcript of the hearing is taken, the person
requesting the hearing shall have the opportunity to order a
copy thereof at his own expense. The Secretary of State shall
enter an order upon any hearing conducted under this Section,
related to a suspension, revocation, or the denial of the
issuance of a license, permit, registration, or certificate of
title occurring after July 1, 2002, within 90 days of its
conclusion and shall immediately notify the person in writing
of his or her action.
(d-5) Any hearing over which the Secretary of State has
jurisdiction because of a person's implied consent to testing

of the person's blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine
for the presence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicating compounds
may be conducted upon a review of the official police reports.
Either party, however, may subpoena the arresting officer and
any other law enforcement officer who was involved in the
petitioner's arrest or processing after arrest, as well as any
other person whose testimony may be probative to the issues at
the hearing. The failure of a law enforcement officer to answer
the subpoena shall be considered grounds for a continuance if,
in the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
appropriate. The failure of the arresting officer to answer a
subpoena shall not, in and of itself, be considered grounds for
the rescission of an implied consent suspension. Rather, the
hearing shall proceed on the basis of the other evidence
available, and the hearing officer shall assign this evidence
whatever probative value is deemed appropriate. The decision
whether to rescind shall be based upon the totality of the
evidence.
(e) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
revoking or denying any license, permit, registration, or
certificate of title shall be subject to judicial review in the
Circuit Court of Sangamon County, in the Circuit Court of
Jefferson County, or in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and
the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and all
amendments and modifications thereto, and the rules adopted
pursuant thereto, are hereby adopted and shall apply to and

govern every action for the judicial review of final acts or
decisions of the Secretary of State hereunder.

Sec. 2-118.1. Opportunity for hearing; statutory summary
alcohol or other drug related suspension or revocation pursuant
to Section 11-501.1.
(a) A statutory summary suspension or revocation of driving
privileges under Section 11-501.1 shall not become effective
until the person is notified in writing of the impending
suspension or revocation and informed that he may request a
hearing in the circuit court of venue under paragraph (b) of
this Section and the statutory summary suspension or revocation
shall become effective as provided in Section 11-501.1.
(b) Within 90 days after the notice of statutory summary
suspension or revocation served under Section 11-501.1, the
person may make a written request for a judicial hearing in the
circuit court of venue. The request to the circuit court shall
state the grounds upon which the person seeks to have the
statutory summary suspension or revocation rescinded. Within
30 days after receipt of the written request or the first
appearance date on the Uniform Traffic Ticket issued pursuant
to a violation of Section 11-501, or a similar provision of a
local ordinance, the hearing shall be conducted by the circuit
court having jurisdiction. This judicial hearing, request, or

process shall not stay or delay the statutory summary
suspension or revocation. The hearings shall proceed in the
court in the same manner as in other civil proceedings.
The hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law
enforcement officer's own official reports; provided however,
that the person may subpoena the officer. Failure of the
officer to answer the subpoena shall be considered grounds for
a continuance if in the court's discretion the continuance is
appropriate.
The scope of the hearing shall be limited to the issues of:
1. Whether the person was placed under arrest for an
offense as defined in Section 11-501, or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, as evidenced by the
issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, or issued a Uniform
Traffic Ticket out of state as provided in subsection (a)
of Section 11-501.1; and
2. Whether the officer had reasonable grounds to
believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle upon a highway while under the
influence of alcohol, other drug, or combination of both;
and
3. Whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would
be suspended or revoked if the person refused to submit to
and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or

Sec. 6-106.1a. Cancellation of school bus driver permit;
trace of alcohol.
(a) A person who has been issued a school bus driver permit
by the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 6-106.1 of
this Code and who drives or is in actual physical control of a
school bus or any other vehicle owned or operated by or for a
public or private school, or a school operated by a religious
institution, when the vehicle is being used over a regularly
scheduled route for the transportation of persons enrolled as
students in grade 12 or below, in connection with any activity
of the entities listed, upon the public highways of this State
shall be deemed to have given consent to a chemical test or
tests of blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for
the purpose of determining the alcohol content of the person's
blood if arrested, as evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform
Traffic Ticket for any violation of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, if a police officer has
probable cause to believe that the driver has consumed any
amount of an alcoholic beverage based upon evidence of the
driver's physical condition or other first hand knowledge of

the police officer. The test or tests shall be administered at
the direction of the arresting officer. The law enforcement
agency employing the officer shall designate which of the
aforesaid tests shall be administered. A urine or other bodily
substance test may be administered even after a blood or breath
test or both has been administered.
(b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise
in a condition rendering that person incapable of refusal,
shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by
paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or tests may be
administered subject to the following provisions:
(1) Chemical analysis of the person's blood, urine,
breath, or other bodily substance, to be considered valid
under the provisions of this Section, shall have been
performed according to standards promulgated by the
Department of State Police by an individual possessing a
valid permit issued by the Department of State Police for
this purpose. The Director of State Police is authorized to
approve satisfactory techniques or methods, to ascertain
the qualifications and competence of individuals to
conduct analyses, to issue permits that shall be subject to
termination or revocation at the direction of the
Department of State Police, and to certify the accuracy of
breath testing equipment. The Department of State Police
shall prescribe rules as necessary.
(2) When a person submits to a blood test at the

request of a law enforcement officer under the provisions
of this Section, only a physician authorized to practice
medicine, a licensed physician assistant, a licensed
advanced practice nurse, a registered nurse, or other
qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under
the direction of a licensed physician may withdraw blood
for the purpose of determining the alcohol content. This
limitation does not apply to the taking of breath, other
bodily substance, or urine specimens.
(3) The person tested may have a physician, qualified
technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified
person of his or her own choosing administer a chemical
test or tests in addition to any test or tests administered
at the direction of a law enforcement officer. The test
administered at the request of the person may be admissible
into evidence at a hearing conducted in accordance with
Section 2-118 of this Code. The failure or inability to
obtain an additional test by a person shall not preclude
the consideration of the previously performed chemical
test.
(4) Upon a request of the person who submits to a
chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or that person's
attorney by the requesting law enforcement agency within 72
hours of receipt of the test result.

(5) Alcohol concentration means either grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
per 210 liters of breath.
(6) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a
result of a motor vehicle accident, a physician licensed to
practice medicine, licensed physician assistant, licensed
advanced practice nurse, registered nurse, or other
qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under
the direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood
for testing purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol
upon the specific request of a law enforcement officer.
However, that testing shall not be performed until, in the
opinion of the medical personnel on scene, the withdrawal
can be made without interfering with or endangering the
well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided in
this Section shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or
submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of
more than 0.00, may result in the loss of that person's
privilege to possess a school bus driver permit. The loss of
the individual's privilege to possess a school bus driver
permit shall be imposed in accordance with Section 6-106.1b of
this Code. A person requested to submit to a test under this
Section shall also acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the
warning required under this subsection (c). If the person

refuses to acknowledge receipt of the warning, the law
enforcement officer shall make a written notation on the
warning that the person refused to sign the warning. A person's
refusal to sign the warning shall not be evidence that the
person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
discloses an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
State certifying that the test or tests were requested under
subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test or
tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00. The law enforcement officer
shall submit the same sworn report when a person who has been
issued a school bus driver permit and who was operating a
school bus or any other vehicle owned or operated by or for a
public or private school, or a school operated by a religious
institution, when the vehicle is being used over a regularly
scheduled route for the transportation of persons enrolled as
students in grade 12 or below, in connection with any activity
of the entities listed, submits to testing under Section
11-501.1 of this Code and the testing discloses an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00 and less than the alcohol
concentration at which driving or being in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle is prohibited under paragraph (1) of
subsection (a) of Section 11-501.

Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall enter the school bus
driver permit sanction on the individual's driving record and
the sanction shall be effective on the 46th day following the
date notice of the sanction was given to the person.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
shall serve immediate notice of this school bus driver permit
sanction on the person and the sanction shall be effective on
the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more than
0.00 is established by a subsequent analysis of blood, other
bodily substance, or urine, the police officer or arresting
agency shall give notice as provided in this Section or by
deposit in the United States mail of that notice in an envelope
with postage prepaid and addressed to that person at his or her
last known address and the loss of the school bus driver permit
shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice
was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
school bus driver permit sanction to the driver and the
driver's current employer by mailing a notice of the effective
date of the sanction to the individual. However, shall the
sworn report be defective by not containing sufficient
information or be completed in error, the notice of the school
bus driver permit sanction may not be mailed to the person or

his current employer or entered to the driving record, but
rather the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law
enforcement agency.
(e) A driver may contest this school bus driver permit
sanction by requesting an administrative hearing with the
Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this
Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown
to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is
shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section
if the individual's blood alcohol concentration resulted only
from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing
shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending
suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be limited to the
issues of:
(1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
control of a school bus or any other vehicle owned or
operated by or for a public or private school, or a school
operated by a religious institution, when the vehicle is
being used over a regularly scheduled route for the
transportation of persons enrolled as students in grade 12
or below, in connection with any activity of the entities
listed, upon the public highways of the State and the

police officer had reason to believe that the person was in
violation of any provision of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance; and
(2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
Ticket for any violation of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance; and
(3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
officer; and
(4) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privilege to possess a school bus driver
permit would be canceled if the person refused to submit to
and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or
complete the test or tests to determine the person's
alcohol concentration; and
(5) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privileges to possess a school bus driver
permit would be canceled if the person submits to a
chemical test or tests and the test or tests disclose an
alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 and the person did
submit to and complete the test or tests that determined an
alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
(6) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption

of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
ceremony; and
(7) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or
recommended dosage of medicine.
The Secretary of State may adopt administrative rules
setting forth circumstances under which the holder of a school
bus driver permit is not required to appear in person at the
hearing.
Provided that the petitioner may subpoena the officer, the
hearing may be conducted upon a review of the law enforcement
officer's own official reports. Failure of the officer to
answer the subpoena shall be grounds for a continuance if, in
the hearing officer's discretion, the continuance is
appropriate. At the conclusion of the hearing held under
Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind,
continue, or modify the school bus driver permit sanction.
(f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that the
results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or

revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this
Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms
the basis of that suspension or revocation.
(g) This Section applies only to drivers who have been
issued a school bus driver permit in accordance with Section
6-106.1 of this Code at the time of the issuance of the Uniform
Traffic Ticket for a violation of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is
made under this Section.
(h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
revoking, canceling, or denying any license, permit,
registration, or certificate of title shall be subject to
judicial review in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in
the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the provisions of the
Administrative Review Law and its rules are hereby adopted and
shall apply to and govern every action for the judicial review
of final acts or decisions of the Secretary of State under this
Section.

State prior to the expiration of the statutory summary
suspension so appropriate action may be taken pursuant to this
Code.
(c) Driving privileges may not be restored until all
applicable reinstatement fees, as provided by this Code, have

of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State shall
be deemed to have given consent, subject to the provisions of
Section 11-501.2, to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath,
other bodily substance, or urine for the purpose of determining
the content of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating
compound or compounds or any combination thereof in the

person's blood if arrested, as evidenced by the issuance of a
Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any offense as defined in Section
11-501 or a similar provision of a local ordinance, or if

enforcement officer shall request a chemical test or tests
which shall be administered at the direction of the arresting
officer. The law enforcement agency employing the officer shall

notifying the person that he or she is subject to the
provisions of this Section and of the officer's belief of the
existence of probable cause to arrest. Upon returning to this
State, the officer shall file the Uniform Traffic Ticket with
the Circuit Clerk of the county where the offense was
committed, and shall seek the issuance of an arrest warrant or
a summons for the person.

provided in Sections 6-208.1 and 11-501.1 of this Code, will be
imposed. If the person is also a CDL holder, he or she shall be
warned by the law enforcement officer that if the person
submits to the test or tests provided in paragraph (a) of this
Section and the alcohol concentration in the person's blood,

other bodily substance, or breath is 0.08 or greater, or any
amount of a drug, substance, or compound resulting from the
unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as covered by the
Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or
methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act is detected in the person's blood,
other bodily substance, or urine, and a disqualification of the
person's privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as
provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL
holder, will be imposed.
A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the person
is requested to submit to a test as provided above shall, in
addition to the warnings provided for in this Section, be
further warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the
test that if the person submits to the test or tests provided
in paragraph (a) of this Section and the alcohol concentration
in the person's blood, other bodily substance, or breath is
greater than 0.00 and less than 0.08, a suspension of the
person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided
under Sections 6-208.2 and 11-501.8 of this Code, will be
imposed. The results of this test shall be admissible in a
civil or criminal action or proceeding arising from an arrest
for an offense as defined in Section 11-501 of this Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance or pursuant to Section

11-501.4 in prosecutions for reckless homicide brought under
the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012. These
test results, however, shall be admissible only in actions or
proceedings directly related to the incident upon which the
test request was made.
A person requested to submit to a test shall also
acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under
this Section. If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of
the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written
notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the
warning. A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be
evidence that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or testing
discloses the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis
Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as
defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of
this Code, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating
compound in the person's breath, blood, other bodily substance,
or urine resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to

the circuit court of venue and the Secretary of State,
certifying that the test or tests was or were requested under
paragraph (a) and the person refused to submit to a test, or
tests, or submitted to testing that disclosed an alcohol
concentration of 0.08 or more, testing discloses the presence
of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a
tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6
of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any
amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in the
person's breath, blood, other bodily substance, or urine
resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of a controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act. If the
person is also a CDL holder and refuses testing or submits to a
test that discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more,
or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in
the person's breath, blood, other bodily substance, or urine
resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis
listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance
listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the law
enforcement officer shall also immediately submit a sworn

report to the circuit court of venue and the Secretary of
State, certifying that the test or tests was or were requested
under paragraph (a) and the person refused to submit to a test,
or tests, or submitted to testing that disclosed an alcohol
concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug,
substance, or intoxicating compound in the person's breath,
blood, other bodily substance, or urine resulting from the
unlawful use or consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis
Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in
the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as
listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection
Act.
(e) Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer submitted under paragraph (d), the Secretary of State
shall enter the statutory summary suspension or revocation and
disqualification for the periods specified in Sections 6-208.1
and 6-514, respectively, and effective as provided in paragraph
(g).
If the person is a first offender as defined in Section
11-500 of this Code, and is not convicted of a violation of
Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, then reports received by the Secretary of State
under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
Statutory Summary Suspension is in effect, be privileged
information and for use only by the courts, police officers,

prosecuting authorities or the Secretary of State, unless the

or vehicle required to be placarded for hazardous materials, in
which case the suspension shall not be privileged. Reports
received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall
also be made available to the parent or guardian of a person
under the age of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a
graduated driver's license, regardless of whether the
statutory summary suspension is in effect. A statutory summary
revocation shall not be privileged information.
(f) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
under paragraph (d) shall serve immediate notice of the
statutory summary suspension or revocation on the person and
the suspension or revocation and disqualification shall be
effective as provided in paragraph (g).
(1) In cases involving a person who is not a CDL holder
where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or greater or
any amount of a drug, substance, or compound resulting from
the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as covered by
the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating
compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act,

(g) The statutory summary suspension or revocation and
disqualification referred to in this Section shall take effect
on the 46th day following the date the notice of the statutory
summary suspension or revocation was given to the person.
(h) The following procedure shall apply whenever a person
is arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
similar provision of a local ordinance:
Upon receipt of the sworn report from the law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall confirm the statutory
summary suspension or revocation by mailing a notice of the
effective date of the suspension or revocation to the person
and the court of venue. The Secretary of State shall also mail
notice of the effective date of the disqualification to the
person. However, should the sworn report be defective by not

containing sufficient information or be completed in error, the
confirmation of the statutory summary suspension or revocation
shall not be mailed to the person or entered to the record;
instead, the sworn report shall be forwarded to the court of
venue with a copy returned to the issuing agency identifying
any defect.
(i) As used in this Section, "personal injury" includes any
Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report

(625 ILCS 5/11-501.2) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-501.2)
Sec. 11-501.2. Chemical and other tests.
(a) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined
in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings
pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination thereof in a person's blood or
breath at the time alleged, as determined by analysis of the
person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily substance, shall

be admissible. Where such test is made the following provisions
shall apply:
1. Chemical analyses of the person's blood, urine,
breath, or other bodily substance to be considered valid
under the provisions of this Section shall have been
performed according to standards promulgated by the
Department of State Police by a licensed physician,
registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, licensed
paramedic, or other individual possessing a valid permit
issued by that Department for this purpose. The Director of
State Police is authorized to approve satisfactory
techniques or methods, to ascertain the qualifications and
competence of individuals to conduct such analyses, to
issue permits which shall be subject to termination or
revocation at the discretion of that Department and to
certify the accuracy of breath testing equipment. The
Department of State Police shall prescribe regulations as
necessary to implement this Section.
2. When a person in this State shall submit to a blood
test at the request of a law enforcement officer under the
provisions of Section 11-501.1, only a physician
authorized to practice medicine, a licensed physician
assistant, a licensed advanced practice nurse, a
registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, or licensed
paramedic, or other qualified person approved by the
Department of State Police may withdraw blood for the

purpose of determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol and
drug content therein. This limitation shall not apply to
the taking of breath, other bodily substance, or urine
specimens.
When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an
adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an
Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
medicine in the adjoining state, a licensed physician
assistant, a licensed advanced practice nurse, a
registered nurse, a trained phlebotomist acting under the
direction of the physician, or licensed paramedic. The law
enforcement officer requesting the test shall take custody
of the blood sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed
by a laboratory certified by the Department of State Police
for that purpose.
3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
qualified person of their own choosing administer a
chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at
the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or
inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test
or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
officer.
4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a

chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or such person's
attorney.
5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
per 210 liters of breath.
6. Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration means either 5
nanograms or more of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per
milliliter of whole blood or 10 nanograms or more of
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per milliliter of other
bodily substance.
(a-5) Law enforcement officials may use standardized field
sobriety tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration when conducting investigations of a violation
of Section 11-501 or similar local ordinance by drivers
suspected of driving under the influence of cannabis. The
General Assembly finds that standardized field sobriety tests
approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
are divided attention tasks that are intended to determine if a
person is under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these
tests is to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a
person's capacity to think and act with ordinary care and
therefore operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the
results of these standardized field sobriety tests,
appropriately administered, shall be admissible in the trial of

any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of an
arrest for a cannabis-related offense as defined in Section
11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings under
Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2. Where a test is made the following
provisions shall apply:
1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
qualified person of their own choosing administer a
chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude the
admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken
at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
standardized field sobriety test or tests at the request of
a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the
test or tests shall be made available to the person or the
person's attorney.
3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the
results of these standardized field sobriety tests are
admitted, the cardholder may present and the trier of fact
may consider evidence that the card holder lacked the

physical capacity to perform the standardized field
sobriety tests.
(b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration
of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
presumptions:
1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
not under the influence of alcohol.
2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
considered with other competent evidence in determining
whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
under the influence of alcohol.
4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
person was under the influence of alcohol.

(b-5) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination
thereof, the concentration of cannabis in the person's whole
blood or other bodily substance at the time alleged as shown by
analysis of the person's blood or other bodily substance shall
give rise to the following presumptions:
1. If there was a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration
of 5 nanograms or more in whole blood or 10 nanograms or
more in an other bodily substance as defined in this
Section, it shall be presumed that the person was under the
influence of cannabis.
2. If there was at that time a tetrahydrocannabinol
concentration of less than 5 nanograms in whole blood or
less than 10 nanograms in an other bodily substance, such
facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the
person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but
such fact may be considered with other competent evidence
in determining whether the person was under the influence
of cannabis.
(c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to

have been committed while the person under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
physical control of a motor vehicle.
2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to
submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
actual physical control of a person under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall
request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a
law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for the
purpose of determining the alcohol content thereof or the
presence of any other drug or combination of both.
This provision does not affect the applicability of or
imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
11-501.1 of this Code.
3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes
any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report
completed by a law enforcement officer that requires immediate
professional attention in either a doctor's office or a medical
facility. A Type A injury includes severe bleeding wounds,
distorted extremities, and injuries that require the injured

party to be carried from the scene.
(d) If a person refuses standardized field sobriety tests
under Section 11-501.9 of this Code, evidence of refusal shall
be admissible in any civil or criminal action or proceeding
arising out of acts committed while the person was driving or
in actual physical control of a vehicle and alleged to have
been impaired by the use of cannabis.
(e) Department of State Police compliance with the changes
in this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly concerning
testing of other bodily substances and tetrahydrocannabinol
concentration by Department of State Police laboratories is
subject to appropriation and until the Department of State
Police adopt standards and completion validation. Any
laboratories that test for the presence of cannabis or other
drugs under this Article, the Snowmobile Registration and
Safety Act, or the Boat Registration and Safety Act must comply
with ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

prosecutions for reckless homicide brought under the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, when each of the
following criteria are met:
(1) the chemical tests performed upon an individual's
blood, other bodily substance, or urine were ordered in the
regular course of providing emergency medical treatment
and not at the request of law enforcement authorities;
(2) the chemical tests performed upon an individual's
blood, other bodily substance, or urine were performed by
the laboratory routinely used by the hospital; and
(3) results of chemical tests performed upon an
individual's blood, other bodily substance, or urine are
admissible into evidence regardless of the time that the
records were prepared.
(b) The confidentiality provisions of law pertaining to
medical records and medical treatment shall not be applicable
with regard to chemical tests performed upon an individual's

blood, other bodily substance, or urine under the provisions of
this Section in prosecutions as specified in subsection (a) of
this Section. No person shall be liable for civil damages as a
result of the evidentiary use of chemical testing of an

Sec. 11-501.6. Driver involvement in personal injury or
fatal motor vehicle accident; chemical test.
(a) Any person who drives or is in actual control of a
motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State and who
has been involved in a personal injury or fatal motor vehicle
accident, shall be deemed to have given consent to a breath
test using a portable device as approved by the Department of
State Police or to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath,
other bodily substance, or urine for the purpose of determining

the content of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating
compound or compounds of such person's blood if arrested as
evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for any
violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
of a local ordinance, with the exception of equipment
violations contained in Chapter 12 of this Code, or similar
provisions of local ordinances. The test or tests shall be
administered at the direction of the arresting officer. The law
enforcement agency employing the officer shall designate which
of the aforesaid tests shall be administered. Up to 2
additional tests of A urine or other bodily substance test may
be administered even after a blood or breath test or both has
been administered. Compliance with this Section does not
relieve such person from the requirements of Section 11-501.1
of this Code.
(b) Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is otherwise
in a condition rendering such person incapable of refusal shall
be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by
subsection (a) of this Section. In addition, if a driver of a
vehicle is receiving medical treatment as a result of a motor
vehicle accident, any physician licensed to practice medicine,
licensed physician assistant, licensed advanced practice
nurse, registered nurse or a phlebotomist acting under the
direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood for
testing purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol, other
drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, upon the

specific request of a law enforcement officer. However, no such
testing shall be performed until, in the opinion of the medical
personnel on scene, the withdrawal can be made without
interfering with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting
the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or submission to
the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more,
or testing discloses the presence of cannabis as listed in the
Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration
as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2

intoxicating compound resulting from the unlawful use or
consumption of cannabis, as covered by the Cannabis Control
Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of
Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act as
detected in such person's blood, other bodily substance, or
urine, may result in the suspension of such person's privilege
to operate a motor vehicle. If the person is also a CDL holder,
he or she shall be warned by the law enforcement officer
requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or
submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of
0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or
intoxicating compound resulting from the unlawful use or

consumption of cannabis, as covered by the Cannabis Control
Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of

privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as provided in
Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL holder. The
length of the suspension shall be the same as outlined in
Section 6-208.1 of this Code regarding statutory summary
suspensions.
A person requested to submit to a test shall also
acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under
this Section. If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of
the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written
notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the
warning. A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be
evidence that the person was not read the warning.

which discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, the
presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with
a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6
of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any

the person's blood, other bodily substance, or urine resulting
from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis listed in the

Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or

resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis
listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance
listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary shall enter the suspension and
disqualification to the individual's driving record and the
suspension and disqualification shall be effective on the 46th
day following the date notice of the suspension was given to
the person.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
shall serve immediate notice of this suspension on the person

and such suspension and disqualification shall be effective on
the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases involving a person who is not a CDL holder where
the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or blood
testing discloses the presence of cannabis as listed in the
Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration
as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2

drug, substance, or intoxicating compound resulting from the
unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as listed in the

Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or
methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and
Community Protection Act, is established by a subsequent
analysis of blood, other bodily substance, or urine collected
at the time of arrest, the arresting officer shall give notice
as provided in this Section or by deposit in the United States
mail of such notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and
addressed to the person at his or her address as shown on the
Uniform Traffic Ticket and the suspension and disqualification
shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice
was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary shall also give notice of the suspension
and disqualification to the driver by mailing a notice of the
effective date of the suspension and disqualification to the
individual. However, should the sworn report be defective by
not containing sufficient information or be completed in error,
the notice of the suspension and disqualification shall not be
mailed to the person or entered to the driving record, but
rather the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law
enforcement agency.
(e) A driver may contest this suspension of his or her
driving privileges and disqualification of his or her CDL
privileges by requesting an administrative hearing with the

Secretary in accordance with Section 2-118 of this Code. At the
conclusion of a hearing held under Section 2-118 of this Code,

driving permit may be granted to relieve undue hardship to
allow driving for employment, educational, and medical
purposes as outlined in Section 6-206 of this Code. The
provisions of Section 6-206 of this Code shall apply. In
accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of State may not
issue a restricted driving permit for the operation of a
commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a CDL whose
driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, cancelled, or
disqualified.

(625 ILCS 5/11-501.8)
Sec. 11-501.8. Suspension of driver's license; persons
under age 21.
(a) A person who is less than 21 years of age and who
drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon
the public highways of this State shall be deemed to have given
consent to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath, other
bodily substance, or urine for the purpose of determining the
alcohol content of the person's blood if arrested, as evidenced
by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for any violation
of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, if a police officer has probable cause to believe
that the driver has consumed any amount of an alcoholic
beverage based upon evidence of the driver's physical condition
or other first hand knowledge of the police officer. The test
or tests shall be administered at the direction of the
arresting officer. The law enforcement agency employing the
officer shall designate which of the aforesaid tests shall be
administered. Up to 2 additional tests of A urine or other
bodily substance test may be administered even after a blood or
breath test or both has been administered.
(b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise
in a condition rendering that person incapable of refusal,
shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided by
paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or tests may be
administered subject to the following provisions:

(i) Chemical analysis of the person's blood, urine,
breath, or other bodily substance, to be considered valid
under the provisions of this Section, shall have been
performed according to standards promulgated by the
Department of State Police by an individual possessing a
valid permit issued by that Department for this purpose.
The Director of State Police is authorized to approve
satisfactory techniques or methods, to ascertain the
qualifications and competence of individuals to conduct
analyses, to issue permits that shall be subject to
termination or revocation at the direction of that
Department, and to certify the accuracy of breath testing
equipment. The Department of State Police shall prescribe
regulations as necessary.
(ii) When a person submits to a blood test at the
request of a law enforcement officer under the provisions
of this Section, only a physician authorized to practice
medicine, a licensed physician assistant, a licensed
advanced practice nurse, a registered nurse, or other
qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under
the direction of a licensed physician may withdraw blood
for the purpose of determining the alcohol content therein.
This limitation does not apply to the taking of breath,
other bodily substance, or urine specimens.
(iii) The person tested may have a physician, qualified
technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified

person of his or her own choosing administer a chemical
test or tests in addition to any test or tests administered
at the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure
or inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
not preclude the consideration of the previously performed
chemical test.
(iv) Upon a request of the person who submits to a
chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
officer, full information concerning the test or tests
shall be made available to the person or that person's
attorney.
(v) Alcohol concentration means either grams of
alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
per 210 liters of breath.
(vi) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a
result of a motor vehicle accident, a physician licensed to
practice medicine, licensed physician assistant, licensed
advanced practice nurse, registered nurse, or other
qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under
the direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood
for testing purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol
upon the specific request of a law enforcement officer.
However, that testing shall not be performed until, in the
opinion of the medical personnel on scene, the withdrawal
can be made without interfering with or endangering the
well-being of the patient.

(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting
the test that a refusal to submit to the test, or submission to
the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of more than
0.00, may result in the loss of that person's privilege to
operate a motor vehicle and may result in the disqualification
of the person's privilege to operate a commercial motor
vehicle, as provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the
person is a CDL holder. The loss of driving privileges shall be
imposed in accordance with Section 6-208.2 of this Code.
A person requested to submit to a test shall also
acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under
this Section. If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of
the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written
notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the
warning. A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be
evidence that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
discloses an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
the Secretary of State on a form prescribed by the Secretary of
State, certifying that the test or tests were requested under
subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test or
tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00. The law enforcement officer
shall submit the same sworn report when a person under the age

of 21 submits to testing under Section 11-501.1 of this Code
and the testing discloses an alcohol concentration of more than
0.00 and less than 0.08.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall enter the suspension and
disqualification on the individual's driving record and the
suspension and disqualification shall be effective on the 46th
day following the date notice of the suspension was given to
the person. If this suspension is the individual's first
driver's license suspension under this Section, reports
received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall,
except during the time the suspension is in effect, be
privileged information and for use only by the courts, police
officers, prosecuting authorities, the Secretary of State, or
the individual personally, unless the person is a CDL holder,
is operating a commercial motor vehicle or vehicle required to
be placarded for hazardous materials, in which case the
suspension shall not be privileged. Reports received by the
Secretary of State under this Section shall also be made
available to the parent or guardian of a person under the age
of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a graduated
driver's license, regardless of whether the suspension is in
effect.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
shall serve immediate notice of this suspension on the person
and the suspension and disqualification shall be effective on

the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more than
0.00 is established by a subsequent analysis of blood, other
bodily substance, or urine, the police officer or arresting
agency shall give notice as provided in this Section or by
deposit in the United States mail of that notice in an envelope
with postage prepaid and addressed to that person at his last
known address and the loss of driving privileges shall be
effective on the 46th day following the date notice was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
officer, the Secretary of State shall also give notice of the
suspension and disqualification to the driver by mailing a
notice of the effective date of the suspension and
disqualification to the individual. However, should the sworn
report be defective by not containing sufficient information or
be completed in error, the notice of the suspension and
disqualification shall not be mailed to the person or entered
to the driving record, but rather the sworn report shall be
returned to the issuing law enforcement agency.
(e) A driver may contest this suspension and
disqualification by requesting an administrative hearing with
the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 2-118 of this
Code. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown
to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she
consumed alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
ceremony. An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is

shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be subject to this Section
if the individual's blood alcohol concentration resulted only
from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing
shall not stay or delay the effective date of the impending
suspension. The scope of this hearing shall be limited to the
issues of:
(1) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the person was driving or in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of the
State and the police officer had reason to believe that the
person was in violation of any provision of the Illinois
Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance;
and
(2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic
Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a
similar provision of a local ordinance; and
(3) whether the police officer had probable cause to
believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an
alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical
actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police
officer; and
(4) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would
be suspended if the person refused to submit to and
complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or

complete the test or tests to determine the person's
alcohol concentration; and
(5) whether the person, after being advised by the
officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle
would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical test
or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol
concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and complete
the test or tests that determined an alcohol concentration
of more than 0.00; and
(6) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or
ceremony; and
(7) whether the test result of an alcohol concentration
of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption
of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or
recommended dosage of medicine.
At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118
of this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or
modify the suspension and disqualification. If the Secretary of
State does not rescind the suspension and disqualification, a
restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of
State upon application being made and good cause shown. A
restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
hardship by allowing driving for employment, educational, and
medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of Section

6-206 of this Code. The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of
Section 6-206 of this Code and of subsection (f) of that
Section shall apply. The Secretary of State shall promulgate
rules providing for participation in an alcohol education and
awareness program or activity, a drug education and awareness
program or activity, or both as a condition to the issuance of
a restricted driving permit for suspensions imposed under this
Section.
(f) The results of any chemical testing performed in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section are not
admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding, except that the
results of the testing may be considered at a hearing held
under Section 2-118 of this Code. However, the results of the
testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions
under Section 11-501.1 of this Code. A law enforcement officer
may, however, pursue a statutory summary suspension or
revocation of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of this
Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms
the basis of that suspension or revocation.
(g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under age
21 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for
a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision
of a local ordinance, and a chemical test request is made under
this Section.
(h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending,
revoking, cancelling, or disqualifying any license or permit

shall be subject to judicial review in the Circuit Court of
Sangamon County or in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and the
provisions of the Administrative Review Law and its rules are
hereby adopted and shall apply to and govern every action for
the judicial review of final acts or decisions of the Secretary
of State under this Section.

(625 ILCS 40/5-7.1)
Sec. 5-7.1. Implied consent.
(a) A person who operates or is in actual physical control
of a snowmobile in this State is deemed to have given consent
to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath, other bodily

substance, or urine for the purpose of determining the content
of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or a combination of them in that person's blood or
other bodily substance, if arrested for a violation of Section
5-7. The chemical test or tests shall be administered at the
direction of the arresting officer. The law enforcement agency
employing the officer shall designate which tests shall be
administered. Up to 2 additional tests of A urine or other
bodily substance test may be administered even after a blood or
breath test or both has been administered.
(a-1) For the purposes of this Section, an Illinois law
enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the
person for any offense defined in Section 5-7 may travel into
an adjoining state, where the person has been transported for
medical care to complete an investigation and to request that
the person submit to the test or tests set forth in this
Section. The requirements of this Section that the person be
arrested are inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the
person a uniform citation for an offense as defined in Section
5-7 or a similar provision of a local ordinance prior to
requesting that the person submit to the test or tests. The
issuance of the uniform citation shall not constitute an
arrest, but shall be for the purpose of notifying the person
that he or she is subject to the provisions of this Section and
of the officer's belief of the existence of probable cause to
arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall file

the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the county where
the offense was committed and shall seek the issuance of an
arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
(a-2) Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Act
to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
probable cause to believe that a snowmobile operated by or
under actual physical control of a person under the influence
of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or any combination of them has caused the death or
personal injury to another, that person shall submit, upon the
request of a law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or
tests of his or her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or
urine for the purpose of determining the alcohol content or the
presence of any other drug or combination of both. For the
purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes severe
bleeding wounds, distorted extremities, and injuries that
require the injured party to be carried from the scene for
immediate professional attention in either a doctor's office or
a medical facility.
(b) A person who is dead, unconscious, or who is otherwise
in a condition rendering that person incapable of refusal, is
deemed not to have withdrawn the consent provided in subsection
(a), and the test or tests may be administered.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided in
this Section shall be verbally advised by the law enforcement

officer requesting the test that a refusal to submit to the
test will result in suspension of that person's privilege to
operate a snowmobile for a minimum of 2 years.
(d) Following this warning, if a person under arrest
refuses upon the request of a law enforcement officer to submit
to a test designated by the officer, no tests may be given, but
the law enforcement officer shall file with the clerk of the
circuit court for the county in which the arrest was made, and
with the Department of Natural Resources, a sworn statement
naming the person refusing to take and complete the chemical
test or tests requested under the provisions of this Section.
The sworn statement shall identify the arrested person, the
person's current residence address and shall specify that a
refusal by that person to take the chemical test or tests was
made. The sworn statement shall include a statement that the
officer had reasonable cause to believe the person was
operating or was in actual physical control of the snowmobile
within this State while under the influence of alcohol, other
drug or drugs, an intoxicating compound or compound, or a
combination of them and that a chemical test or tests were
requested as an incident to and following the lawful arrest for
an offense as defined in Section 5-7 or a similar provision of
a local ordinance, and that the person, after being arrested
for an offense arising out of acts alleged to have been
committed while operating a snowmobile, refused to submit to
and complete a chemical test or tests as requested by the law

enforcement officer.
(e) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
statement shall serve immediate written notice upon the person
refusing the chemical test or tests that the person's privilege
to operate a snowmobile within this State will be suspended for
a period of 2 years unless, within 28 days from the date of the
notice, the person requests in writing a hearing on the
suspension.
If the person desires a hearing, the person shall file a
complaint in the circuit court in the county where that person
was arrested within 28 days from the date of the notice. The
hearing shall proceed in the court in the same manner as other
civil proceedings. The hearing shall cover only the following
issues: (1) whether the person was placed under arrest for an
offense as defined in Section 5-7 or a similar provision of a
local ordinance as evidenced by the issuance of a uniform
citation; (2) whether the arresting officer had reasonable
grounds to believe that the person was operating a snowmobile
while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, an
intoxicating compound or compounds, or a combination of them;
and (3) whether that person refused to submit to and complete
the chemical test or tests upon the request of the law
enforcement officer. Whether the person was informed that the
person's privilege to operate a snowmobile would be suspended

shall be deemed to have given consent to a chemical test or
tests of blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine
for the purpose of determining the content of alcohol,
other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or
combination thereof in the person's blood or other bodily
substance if arrested for any offense of subsection (A)
above. The chemical test or tests shall be administered at
the direction of the arresting officer. The law enforcement
agency employing the officer shall designate which of the
tests shall be administered. Up to 2 additional tests of A
urine or other bodily substance test may be administered
even after a blood or breath test or both has been
administered.
1.1. For the purposes of this Section, an Illinois Law
Enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the
person for any offense defined in Section 5-16 may travel
into an adjoining state, where the person has been
transported for medical care to complete an investigation,
and may request that the person submit to the test or tests
set forth in this Section. The requirements of this Section
that the person be arrested are inapplicable, but the

officer shall issue the person a uniform citation for an
offense as defined in Section 5-16 or a similar provision
of a local ordinance prior to requesting that the person
submit to the test or tests. The issuance of the uniform
citation shall not constitute an arrest, but shall be for
the purpose of notifying the person that he or she is
subject to the provisions of this Section and of the
officer's belief in the existence of probable cause to
arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall
file the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the
county where the offense was committed and shall seek the
issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
1.2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this
Act to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the
implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
officer has probable cause to believe that a watercraft
operated by or under actual physical control of a person
under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination of
them has caused the death of or personal injury to another,
that person shall submit, upon the request of a law
enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
her blood, breath, other bodily substance, or urine for the
purpose of determining the alcohol content or the presence
of any other drug, intoxicating compound, or combination of
them. For the purposes of this Section, a personal injury

includes severe bleeding wounds, distorted extremities,
and injuries that require the injured party to be carried
from the scene for immediate professional attention in
either a doctor's office or a medical facility.
2. Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is
otherwise in a condition rendering such person incapable of
refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent
provided above, and the test may be administered.
3. A person requested to submit to a chemical test as
provided above shall be verbally advised by the law
enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to
submit to the test will result in suspension of such
person's privilege to operate a watercraft for a minimum of
2 years. Following this warning, if a person under arrest
refuses upon the request of a law enforcement officer to
submit to a test designated by the officer, no test shall
be given, but the law enforcement officer shall file with
the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which the
arrest was made, and with the Department of Natural
Resources, a sworn statement naming the person refusing to
take and complete the chemical test or tests requested
under the provisions of this Section. Such sworn statement
shall identify the arrested person, such person's current
residence address and shall specify that a refusal by such
person to take the chemical test or tests was made. Such
sworn statement shall include a statement that the

arresting officer had reasonable cause to believe the
person was operating or was in actual physical control of
the watercraft within this State while under the influence
of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
compounds, or combination thereof and that such chemical
test or tests were made as an incident to and following the
lawful arrest for an offense as defined in this Section or
a similar provision of a local ordinance, and that the
person after being arrested for an offense arising out of
acts alleged to have been committed while so operating a
watercraft refused to submit to and complete a chemical
test or tests as requested by the law enforcement officer.
3.1. The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
statement as provided in paragraph 3 of this subsection (B)
shall serve immediate written notice upon the person
refusing the chemical test or tests that the person's
privilege to operate a watercraft within this State will be
suspended for a period of 2 years unless, within 28 days
from the date of the notice, the person requests in writing
a hearing on the suspension.
If the person desires a hearing, such person shall file
a complaint in the circuit court for and in the county in
which such person was arrested for such hearing. Such
hearing shall proceed in the court in the same manner as
other civil proceedings, shall cover only the issues of
whether the person was placed under arrest for an offense

as defined in this Section or a similar provision of a
local ordinance as evidenced by the issuance of a uniform
citation; whether the arresting officer had reasonable
grounds to believe that such person was operating a
watercraft while under the influence of alcohol, other drug
or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or
combination thereof; and whether such person refused to
submit and complete the chemical test or tests upon the
request of the law enforcement officer. Whether the person
was informed that such person's privilege to operate a
watercraft would be suspended if such person refused to
submit to the chemical test or tests shall not be an issue.
If the person fails to request in writing a hearing
within 28 days from the date of notice, or if a hearing is
held and the court finds against the person on the issues
before the court, the clerk shall immediately notify the
Department of Natural Resources, and the Department shall
suspend the watercraft operation privileges of the person
for at least 2 years.
3.2. If the person is a CDL holder and submits to a
test that discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or
more, or any amount of a drug, substance or intoxicating
compound in the person's breath, blood, other bodily
substance, or urine resulting from the unlawful use of
cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances

Act, methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine
Control and Community Protection Act, or an intoxicating
compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act,
the law enforcement officer shall immediately submit a
sworn report to the circuit clerk of venue and the
Department of Natural Resources, certifying that the test
or tests were requested under paragraph 1 of this
subsection (B) and the person submitted to testing that
disclosed an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more or any
amount of a drug, substance or intoxicating compound in the
person's breath, blood, other bodily substance, or urine
resulting from the unlawful use of cannabis listed in the
Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, methamphetamine as
listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community
Protection Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the
Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act. If the person is not a
CDL holder and submits to a test that discloses an alcohol
concentration of 0.08 or more, a tetrahydrocannabinol
concentration in the person's whole blood or other bodily
substance as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of
Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or any
amount of a drug, substance or intoxicating compound in the
person's breath, blood, other bodily substance, or urine
resulting from the unlawful use of a controlled substance
listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,

methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control
and Community Protection Act, or an intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn
report to the circuit clerk of venue and the Department of
Natural Resources, certifying that the test or tests were
requested under paragraph 1 of this subsection (B) and the
person submitted to testing that disclosed an alcohol
concentration of 0.08 or more, a tetrahydrocannabinol
concentration in the person's whole blood or other bodily
substance as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of
Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, or any
amount of a drug, substance or intoxicating compound in the
person's breath, blood, other bodily substance, or urine
resulting from the unlawful use of a controlled substance
listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control
and Community Protection Act, or an intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act.
In cases involving a person who is a CDL holder where
the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or greater or any
amount of drug, substance or compound resulting from the
unlawful use of cannabis, a controlled substance,
methamphetamine, or an intoxicating compound is
established by a subsequent analysis of blood, other bodily
substance, or urine collected at the time of arrest, the

arresting officer or arresting agency shall immediately
submit a sworn report to the circuit clerk of venue and the
Department of Natural Resources upon receipt of the test
results. In cases involving a person who is not a CDL
holder where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or
greater, a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration in the
person's whole blood or other bodily substance as defined
in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code, or any amount of drug, substance, or
compound resulting from the unlawful use of a controlled
substance, methamphetamine, or an intoxicating compound is
established by a subsequent analysis of blood, other bodily
substance, or urine collected at the time of arrest, the
arresting officer or arresting agency shall immediately
submit a sworn report to the circuit clerk of venue and the
Department of Natural Resources upon receipt of the test
results.

by the law enforcement officer in order to comply with the
implied consent provisions of this Section.

(C) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed

by any person while operating a watercraft while under the
influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
compound or compounds, or combination thereof, the
concentration of alcohol, drug, or compound in the person's
blood, other bodily substance, or breath at the time alleged as
shown by analysis of a person's blood, urine, breath, or other
bodily substance shall give rise to the presumptions specified
in subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 of subsection (b) and subsection
(b-5) of Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The
foregoing provisions of this subsection (C) shall not be
construed as limiting the introduction of any other relevant
evidence bearing upon the question whether the person was under
the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
compound or compounds, or a combination thereof.
(D) If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
chemical test under the provisions of this Section, evidence of
refusal shall be admissible in any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
while the person under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination of
them was operating a watercraft.
(E) The owner of any watercraft or any person given
supervisory authority over a watercraft, may not knowingly
permit a watercraft to be operated by any person under the
influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
compound or compounds, or combination thereof.
