MODERATE

This bill clarifies that local governments cannot use administrative hearings to fine drivers for traffic violations. It specifically prohibits counties and municipalities from adjudicating offenses under the Illinois Vehicle Code related to vehicle movement or specific reportable offenses, ensuring these cases are handled in court rather than through simplified administrative processes.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly list specific traffic offenses under the Illinois Vehicle Code that are exempt from administrative adjudication, whereas the previous version only referenced the Vehicle Code generally without detailing the specific types of offenses excluded.

ENFORCEMENT

Added a new subsection (b-5) to the Counties Code that explicitly prohibits counties from using administrative adjudication for specific traffic offenses under the Illinois Vehicle Code or similar municipal offenses.

Added a new subsection (b) to the Municipal Code that explicitly prohibits municipalities from using administrative adjudication for specific traffic offenses under the Illinois Vehicle Code or similar municipal offenses.

SCOPE

Changed the section number in the Municipal Code from 1-2.1-2 to 1-2.1-10 to reflect the updated statutory structure.

DEFINITION

Updated the constitutional basis cited in the Municipal Code from subsection (i) to subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
