(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, any person accused of a violation of any provision of this Traffic Code which can be rectified by correction of the violation alleged, and any person accused of failing to purchase, obtain and/or display any permit or license required by any other provision of this Code, which accusation is made by a compliance ticket, except a traffic offense for which a court appearance is required pursuant to Ill. R.S. Ch. 110A, § 551, may settle and compromise such ticket by paying to the Village a fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) and showing proof of the correction of the violation (i.e. replacement of the faulty equipment, purchase of the required license or permit) within ten days from the date such alleged violation was committed or by paying to the Village the sum of forty dollars ($40.00) subsequent to said ten day period and prior to thirty days from the date such 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 the violation, and the person shall be subject to the general penalties set forth in this Code.
