|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing |
Section 7-310 as follows:
|
(625 ILCS 5/7-310) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 7-310)
|
Sec. 7-310. Petition for discharge filed in bankruptcy. A
|
petition for discharge filed in bankruptcy following the |
rendering of any judgment shall
relieve the judgment debtor |
from any of the requirements of this Chapter 7, except that the |
judgment debtor's drivers license shall remain suspended and |
may not be renewed, and the judgment debtor may not be issued a |
license or registration, until the judgment debtor gives proof |
of his or her financial responsibility in the future, as |
provided in Section 1-164.5. The proof is to be maintained by |
the judgment debtor, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary |
of State, for a period of 3 years after the date on which the |
proof is first filed.
|
A petition for discharge filed in bankruptcy of the owner
|
or lessee of a commercial vehicle by whom the judgment debtor |
is employed
at the time of the motor vehicle accident that |
gives rise to the
judgment
also shall relieve the judgment |
debtor so employed from any of the
requirements of this Chapter |
7 if the discharge of the owner or lessee
follows the rendering |
of the judgment and if the judgment debtor
so employed
was |
operating the commercial vehicle in connection with his
regular |
employment or occupation at the time of the accident.
This |
amendatory
act of 1985 applies to all cases irrespective of |
whether the accident
giving rise to the suspension of license |
or registration occurred before,
on, or after its effective |
date.
