This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here and here about an increase in license suspensions tied to an individual's inability to pay fines. Now comes news of state legislators trying to provide relief for those who make partial repayment.
From HB4982
625 ILCS 5/6-306.8 new
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the Secretary of State may terminate the suspension of person's driving privileges or vehicle registration for non-payment of certain fines or penalties related to the operation of a motor vehicle when the Secretary of State receives notification from the government entity that caused the person's suspension that the person has entered into a repayment plan and has made timely payments according to the plan for a period of 6 months.
I certainly hope this bill is able to provide relief for thousands of Illinois families across the state.
