AN ACT concerning transportation.
|
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 |
Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 as follows:
|
(625 ILCS 5/11-501.1)
|
(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 96-1344 ) |
Sec. 11-501.1. Suspension of drivers license; statutory |
summary
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound |
or
compounds related suspension; implied consent.
|
(a) Any person who drives or is in actual physical control |
of a motor
vehicle upon the public highways of this State shall |
be deemed to have given
consent, subject to the provisions of |
Section 11-501.2, to a chemical test or
tests of blood, breath, |
or urine for the purpose of determining the content of
alcohol, |
other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds or
|
any combination thereof in the person's blood if arrested,
as |
evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any |
offense
as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of |
a local ordinance, or if arrested for violating Section 11-401.
|
If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe the |
person was under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, |
intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination |
|
thereof, the law enforcement officer shall request a chemical |
test or tests which The test or tests shall be administered at |
the direction of the arresting
officer. The law enforcement |
agency employing the officer shall designate which
of the |
aforesaid tests shall be administered. A urine test may be |
administered
even after a blood or breath test or both has
been |
administered. For purposes of this Section, an Illinois law
|
enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the |
person for any
offense defined in Section 11-501 may travel |
into an adjoining state, where
the person has been transported |
for medical care, to complete an
investigation and to request |
that the person submit to the test or tests
set forth in this |
Section. The requirements of this Section that the
person be |
arrested are inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the |
person
a Uniform Traffic Ticket for an offense as defined in |
Section 11-501 or a
similar provision of a local ordinance |
prior to requesting that the person
submit to the test or |
tests. The issuance of the Uniform Traffic Ticket
shall not |
constitute an arrest, but shall be for the purpose of notifying
|
the person that he or she is subject to the provisions of this |
Section and
of the officer's belief of the existence of |
probable cause to
arrest. Upon returning to this State, the |
officer shall file the Uniform
Traffic Ticket with the Circuit |
Clerk of the county where the offense was
committed, and shall |
seek the issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons
for the |
person.
|
|
(b) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or who is |
otherwise in a condition
rendering the person incapable of |
refusal, shall be deemed not to have
withdrawn the consent |
provided by paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or
tests |
may be administered, subject to the provisions of Section |
11-501.2.
|
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided |
above shall
be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting |
the test that a
refusal to submit to the test will result in |
the statutory summary
suspension of the person's privilege to |
operate a motor vehicle, as provided
in Section 6-208.1 of this |
Code, and will also result in the disqualification of the |
person's privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as |
provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL |
holder. The person shall also be warned by the law
enforcement |
officer that if the person submits to the test or tests
|
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and the alcohol |
concentration in
the person's blood or breath is 0.08 or |
greater, or any amount of
a
drug, substance, or compound |
resulting from the unlawful use or consumption
of cannabis as |
covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
substance
|
listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an |
intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating |
Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the |
Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act is |
detected in the person's
blood or urine, a statutory summary |
|
suspension of the person's privilege to
operate a motor |
vehicle, as provided in Sections 6-208.1 and 11-501.1 of this
|
Code, and a disqualification of
the person's privilege to |
operate a commercial motor vehicle, as provided in Section |
6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL holder, will be |
imposed.
|
A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the person |
is requested to
submit to a test as provided above shall, in |
addition to the warnings provided
for in this Section, be |
further warned by the law enforcement officer
requesting the |
test that if the person submits to the test or tests provided |
in
paragraph (a) of this Section and the alcohol concentration |
in the person's
blood or breath is greater than 0.00 and less |
than 0.08, a
suspension of the
person's privilege to operate a |
motor vehicle, as provided under Sections
6-208.2 and 11-501.8 |
of this Code, will be imposed. The results of this test
shall |
be admissible in a civil or criminal action or proceeding |
arising from an
arrest for an offense as defined in Section |
11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a local ordinance |
or pursuant to Section 11-501.4 in prosecutions
for reckless |
homicide brought under the Criminal Code of 1961. These test
|
results, however, shall be admissible only in actions or |
proceedings directly
related to the incident upon which the |
test request was made.
|
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that |
discloses
an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any |
|
amount of a drug,
substance, or intoxicating compound in the |
person's breath, blood,

officer
submitted under paragraph (d), the Secretary of State |
shall enter the
statutory summary suspension and |
disqualification for the periods specified in Sections
6-208.1 |
and 6-514, respectively,
and effective as provided in paragraph |

|
If the person is a first offender as defined in Section |
11-500 of this
Code, and is not convicted of a violation of |
Section 11-501
of this Code or a similar provision of a local |
ordinance, then reports

under this Section shall, except during
the actual time the |
Statutory Summary Suspension is in effect, be
privileged |

|
|
prosecuting authorities or the Secretary of State, unless the |
person is a CDL holder, is operating a commercial motor vehicle |
or vehicle required to be placarded for hazardous materials, in |
which case the suspension shall not be privileged.
Reports |
received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall |
also be made available to the parent or guardian of a person |
under the age of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a |
graduated driver's license, regardless of whether the |
statutory summary suspension is in effect.
|
(f) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report |
under paragraph
(d) shall serve immediate notice of the |
statutory summary suspension on the
person and the suspension |
and disqualification shall be effective as provided in |
paragraph (g). In
cases where the blood alcohol concentration |
of 0.08 or greater or
any amount of
a drug, substance, or |
compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption
of |
cannabis as covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
|
substance
listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
an |
intoxicating compound
listed in the Use of Intoxicating |

as provided in
paragraph (g). The officer shall confiscate any |
Illinois driver's license or
permit on the person at the time |
of arrest. If the person has a valid driver's
license or |
permit, the officer shall issue the person a receipt, in
a form |
prescribed by the Secretary of State, that will allow that |
person
to drive during the periods provided for in paragraph |
(g). The officer
shall immediately forward the driver's license |
or permit to the circuit
court of venue along with the sworn |

summary suspension by
mailing a notice of the effective date of |
the suspension to the person and
the court of venue. The |
Secretary of State shall also mail notice of the effective date |
of the disqualification to the person. However, should the |
sworn report be defective by not
containing sufficient |
information or be completed in error, the

|
statutory summary suspension shall not be mailed to the
person |
or entered to the record; instead, the sworn report shall
be
|
forwarded to the court of venue with a copy returned to the |
issuing agency
identifying any defect.

|
Sec. 11-501.2. Chemical and other tests.
|
|
(a) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or |
proceeding arising out
of an arrest for an offense as defined |
in Section 11-501 or a similar local
ordinance or proceedings |
pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the
concentration of |
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
|
compounds, or any combination thereof in a person's blood
or |
breath at the time alleged, as determined by analysis of the |
person's blood,
urine, breath or other bodily substance, shall |
be admissible. Where such test
is made the following provisions |
shall apply:
|
1. Chemical analyses of the person's blood, urine, |
breath or other bodily
substance to be considered valid |
under the provisions of this Section shall
have been |
performed according to standards promulgated by the |
Department of State Police
by
a licensed physician, |
registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, certified |
paramedic, or other individual
possessing a valid permit |
issued by that Department for
this purpose. The Director of |
State Police is authorized to approve satisfactory
|
techniques or methods, to ascertain the qualifications and |
competence of
individuals to conduct such analyses, to |
issue permits which shall be subject
to termination or |
revocation at the discretion of that Department and to
|
certify the accuracy of breath testing equipment. The |
Department
of
State Police shall prescribe regulations as |
necessary to
implement this
Section.
|
|
2. When a person in this State shall submit to a blood |
test at the request
of a law enforcement officer under the |
provisions of Section 11-501.1, only a
physician |
authorized to practice medicine, a registered nurse, |
trained
phlebotomist, or certified paramedic, or other
|
qualified person approved by the Department of State Police |
may withdraw blood
for the purpose of determining the |
alcohol, drug, or alcohol and drug content
therein. This |
limitation shall not apply to the taking of breath or urine
|
specimens.
|
When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an |
adjoining state
for medical treatment is requested by an |
Illinois law enforcement officer,
the blood may be |
withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
|
medicine in the adjoining state, a registered nurse, a |
trained
phlebotomist acting under the direction of the |
physician, or certified
paramedic. The law
enforcement |
officer requesting the test shall take custody of the blood
|
sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed by a |
laboratory certified by the
Department of State Police for |
that purpose.
|
3. The person tested may have a physician, or a |
qualified technician,
chemist, registered nurse, or other |
qualified person of their own choosing
administer a |
chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at |
the
direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or |
|
inability to obtain
an additional test by a person shall |
not preclude the admission of evidence
relating to the test |
or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
|
officer.
|
4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a |
chemical test
or tests at the request of a law enforcement |
officer, full information
concerning the test or tests |
shall be made available to the person or such
person's |
attorney.
|
5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of |
alcohol per 100
milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol |
per 210 liters of breath.
|
(b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or |
proceeding arising
out of acts alleged to have been committed |
by any person while driving or
in actual physical control of a |
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol,
the concentration |
of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time
alleged |
as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or |
other
bodily substance shall give rise to the following |
presumptions:
|
1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration |
of 0.05 or less,
it shall be presumed that the person was |
not under the influence of alcohol.
|
2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration |
in excess of 0.05
but less than 0.08, such facts shall not |
give rise to any
presumption that
the person was or was not |
|
under the influence of alcohol, but such fact
may be |
considered with other competent evidence in determining |
whether the
person was under the influence of alcohol.
|
3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration |
of 0.08
or more,
it shall be presumed that the person was |
under the influence of alcohol.
|
4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not |
be construed as
limiting the introduction of any other |
relevant evidence bearing upon the
question whether the |
person was under the influence of alcohol.
|
(c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a |
chemical test
under
the provisions of Section 11-501.1, |
evidence of refusal shall be admissible
in any civil or |
criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged
to |
have been committed while the person under the influence of |
alcohol,
other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or |
compounds, or
any combination thereof was driving or in actual |
physical
control of a motor vehicle.
|
2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to |
submit to
these tests or any ability to revoke the implied |
consent to these tests, if a
law enforcement officer has |
probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle
driven by or in |
actual physical control of a person under the influence of
|
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
|
compounds,
or any combination thereof
has caused the death or
|
personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall |
|
request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a |
law
enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or |
her blood, breath or
urine for the purpose of
determining the |
alcohol content thereof or the presence of any other drug or
|
