(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other ordinance, any person accused of a violation which can be rectified by correction of the violation alleged, or accused of failing to purchase, obtain and/or display any permit or license required pursuant to any other ordinance which requires the purchase of a license or permit, or accused of failing to wear a seatbelt when required to do so, may, pursuant to the issuance of a compliance ticket, settle and compromise that ticket by paying to the Village of Calumet Park a fee of $20 and showing proof of the correction of the violation (i.e., replacement of faulty equipment, purchase of the required license or permit) within ten days from the date the alleged violation was committed; or by paying to the Village of Calumet Park the sum of $40 subsequent to the ten-day period and prior to 30 days from the date the alleged violation was committed, and showing proof of the correction of the violation.
(B) Compliance tickets shall be issued as a courtesy, in lieu of instituting a prosecution for the alleged offense. If the person accused of the violation does not settle the claim, the compliance ticket will be converted to a complaint, or a uniform traffic complaint or notice to appear will be issued for that violation, and that person shall be subject to the general penalties set forth in the ordinance which is the subject of the violation.
(C) The provisions of this section do not apply to any traffic offense for which a court appearance is required pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 551.
