HB 6608

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Increases the fine for operating an uninsured vehicle to an amount in excess of $1,000, but not more than $2,000 (from an amount in excess of $500, but not more than $1,000). Increases the fine for operating a vehicle when registration is suspended for noninsurance to not less than $2,000 and not more than $4,000 (from not less than $1,000 and not more than $2,000). Increases from $100 to $200 the fee for reinstatement of the registration of a motor vehicle after the registration was suspended because the owner was convicted of operating an uninsured vehicle, operating a vehicle when its registration was suspended for noninsurance, or display of a false insurance card. Increases from $200 to $400 the fee for reinstatement if the vehicle's registration was suspended because the owner submitted false proof of insurance.
