Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. In provisions concerning procedures for traffic violations, provides that if a person does not do certain actions, a court shall (i) for those offenses under the Code that are punishable only by fine (rather than a court shall enter an ex parte judgment), enter an ex parte judgment of conviction imposing a single assessment, specified in the applicable assessment Schedule 10 or 10.5 (rather than 10, 10.5, or 11) for the charged offense plus a fine allowed by statute and the clerk of the court shall notify the Secretary of State in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of the court's order (rather than only a fine allowed by statute) or (ii) for those offenses under the Code that are punishable by a sentence of imprisonment, enter an order of failure to appear. Provides that the clerk of the court shall notify the Secretary of State, on a report prescribed by the Secretary, of the court's order. Provides that the Secretary, when notified by the clerk of the court that an order of failure to appear has been entered, shall immediately suspend the person's driver's license, which shall be designated by the Secretary as a failure to appear suspension. Provides that the Secretary shall not remove the suspension, nor issue any permit or privileges to the person whose license has been suspended, until the Secretary is notified by the ordering court that the person has appeared and resolved the violation or failure to appear order. Provides that, upon compliance, the clerk of the court shall present the person with a notice of compliance containing the seal of the court and shall notify the Secretary that the person has appeared and resolved the violation or failure to appear order. Provides that the changes made to certain provisions by Public Act 103-789 apply to each individual whose license was suspended pursuant to the provisions from January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025 for an offense under the Code that is punishable only by fine and did not involve the death of another person. Provides that, no later than October 1, 2025, the clerk of the court shall notify the Secretary of State in a manner and form prescribed by the Secretary, of each failure to appear notification previously sent to the Secretary by the clerk of the court resulting from an offense that is punishable only by fine and did not involve the death of another person for which a notice of compliance had not been sent to the Secretary. Provides that, no later than January 1, 2026, the Secretary shall rescind the suspension of each driver identified by the clerk of the court without further action by the person whose driver's license is suspended pursuant to certain provisions. Effective July 1, 2025.
