SB 4173

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Requires the Secretary of State to suspend the driver's license issued to a person charged with aggravated use of a wireless telephone resulting in the death of another person immediately after: an indictment has been returned by a grand jury; a preliminary hearing after which a judge finds there is probable cause to believe the person has committed one of the offenses; or the person has waived a preliminary hearing. Requires the suspension to remain in effect until the case is resolved by a sentencing hearing, a dismissal of the charge, or an entry of a not guilty verdict. Requires the Secretary of State to revoke the driver's license issued to a person convicted of aggravated use of a wireless telephone resulting in the death of another person, for not less than 3 years, commencing on the date of the person's sentencing hearing. Makes corresponding changes. Provides that the amendatory Act may be referred to as the Protz-Lidy Act.
