A person owing an unpaid fine or penalty for automated traffic law violation penalty may file a petition to set aside a final determination of such liability within ten days after service by the village of a determination notice. Such a petition shall be filed by sending the same, together with any documentation in support thereof, to the Administrator by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal delivery to the Administrator. The grounds for such a petition shall be limited to: (a) the person not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on the date the violation notice was issued, (b) the person having already paid the fine or penalty for the violation in question, and (c) excusable failure to appear at or request a new date for a hearing. A hearing on such a petition shall be held within 30 days after the filing of same. In the event that such a petition is granted upon a showing of just cause, and the subject determination of automated traffic law violation liability is thereby set aside, the registered owner shall be provided with a hearing on the merits for that violation.
