5-8-6: PENALTY:
Unless the driver of the motor vehicle in question received a uniform traffic citation from a police officer at the time of the alleged violation, the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a proved violation of this chapter, plus an additional penalty of not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) for failure to pay the original penalty or contest the violation at an administrative hearing in a timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by an automated traffic law enforcement system. Any penalty imposed for a violation of this chapter is a civil penalty and is not a violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of motor vehicles and shall not be transmitted to the Illinois secretary of state to be recorded on the driving record of the vehicle owner.
