(B) (1) Any person found guilty of violating the provisions of § 72.12(A)(1) shall be fined $250 in addition to any costs or charges connected with the removal or storage of any motor vehicle authorized under this section; but municipalities by ordinance may impose a fine up to $350 and shall display signs indicating the fine imposed. If the amount of the fine is subsequently changed, the municipality shall change the sign to indicate the current amount of the fine. It shall not be a defense to a charge under this section that either the sign posted pursuant to this section or the intended accessible parking place does not comply with the technical requirements of ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 11-301, Department regulations, or local ordinance if a reasonable person would be made aware by the sign or notice on or near the parking place that the place is reserved for a person with disabilities.

Any person who violates § 72.12(A)(3) is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and shall be fined $2,500. The circuit clerk shall distribute 50% of the fine imposed on any person who is found guilty of or pleads guilty to violating this section, including any person placed on court supervision for violating this section, to the law enforcement agency that issued the citation or made the arrest. If more than one law enforcement agency is responsible for issuing the citation or making the arrest, the 50% of the fine imposed shall be shared equally. If an officer of the Secretary of State Department of Police arrested a person for a violation of this section, 50% of the fine imposed shall be deposited into the Secretary of State Police Services Fund.
