8/1/05-Gov. Rod Blagojevich has signed a bill into law limiting Illinois’ drivers to two court supervisions for moving violations in a 12-month period.
Under the new rule, previously HB1483, any other moving violation convictions during that period would be tagged to permanent driving records. After two additional moving violations in the same period, the driver’s license would be suspended for six months.
Existing law allows drivers to receive an unlimited number of court supervisions.
A supervision is an individual sentence for a moving violation or other violation of motor vehicle laws.
Punishments for supervisions can range from fines to going back to driving school. However, a supervision isn’t added to a violators formal driving record unless they later violate the terms of the supervision.
The new law takes effect Jan. 1, 2006.
