Summary

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Amends the provision regarding failure to pay fines, penalties, and court costs to provide that the Secretary of State may not remove the notation indicating a driver's failure to pay until the Secretary has received, directly from the court of venue (rather than from the driver), written notice of payment. Provides that, if full payment has been received, the court shall provide the driver with a receipt indicating payment in full. Provides that the receipt provided to the driver may not be used by the driver to clear the driver's record. Effective immediately.

Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill HB 769 clarify the process for how drivers can have their driving privileges recorded after they pay outstanding fines or penalties. The bill now states that only one action per arrest will be considered for clearing a driver's record, meaning drivers can only resolve one specific issue at a time rather than multiple fines all at once. This helps to streamline the process, ensuring that drivers understand exactly what needs to be resolved before their record can be cleared.
