(a)

A person liable for any fine that remains due and owing on ten or more parking violations under 625 ILCS 5/11-208.6 or five or more automated traffic law violations under 625 ILCS 5/11-208.6 may challenge the accuracy of a certified report by submitting to the traffic compliance administrator a written statement under oath, together with any supporting documentation, establishing one of the following grounds for challenging the accuracy of the certified report:

(1)

That the person was not the owner or lessee of the vehicles receiving ten or more parking violations under 625 ILCS 5/11-208.6 or five or more automated traffic law violations under 625 ILCS 5/11-208.6 on the date or dates such notices were issued; or

(2)

That the person already paid the fines or penalties for the ten or more parking violations under 625 ILCS 5/11-208.6 or five or more automated traffic law violations under 625 ILCS 5/11-208.6 indicated on the certified report.

(b)

The written statement and the supporting documentation must be sent to the traffic compliance administrator by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal delivery to the traffic compliance administrator within ten days after the person receives notice from the secretary of state that the person's driver's license will be suspended at the end of a specified period of time.

(c)

The traffic compliance administrator shall render a written determination within 14 days of receipt of the written statement and the supporting documentation challenging the certified report. Upon rendering a decision, the traffic compliance administrator shall send a copy of the written decision to the person challenging the certified report by first class United States mail, postage prepaid.

(d)

If the grounds for challenging the accuracy of the certified report have been established, the traffic compliance administrator shall notify the secretary of state unless the secretary of state is presented with a notice from the village certifying that the fines or penalties due and owing have been paid or that the inclusion of the person's name on the certified report was in error.
