SB 2267

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that when a certified copy of a ticket issued by a local authority based on evidence recorded by an automated traffic control system is filed with the municipal court or county court with jurisdiction over the civil action, the court shall require the local authority to provide an advance deposit for the filing of the civil action. Requires the advance deposit to consist of all applicable court costs and fees for the civil action. Establishes that a court shall retain the advance deposit regardless of which party prevails in the civil action and shall not charge to the registered owner or designated party any court costs and fees for the civil action. Provides that when a ticket is issued based on evidence of an automated traffic control system located within a school zone, the court shall charge the applicable court costs and fees for the civil action to the party that does not prevail in the action. Effective immediately.
