Defendant's driving privileges were summarily suspended after he refused to submit to blood alcohol testing. At hearing, court allowed State to amend arresting officer's "Sworn Report" to indicate date Defendant was given notice. Officer's failure to fill in blank line on Sworn Report asking for when Notice of Suspension/Revocation was given was not a fatal defect warranting rescission of statutory summary suspension. Sworn Report listed date Defendant refused testing, indicated that notice of suspension was served on Defendant immediately, and stated that it was signed on same date. From that information, Secretary of State had sufficient information to calculate and confirm suspension. (SCHOSTOK and ZENOFF, concurring.)
