Illinois Supreme Court
Criminal Court
Driver's License
Statute requiring three-month suspension of driving privileges for drivers convicted of, or on court supervision for, underage consumption of alcohol is not unconstitutional, as it bears a rational relationship to safe and legal operation of motor vehicles, and is a reasonable method of promoting public interest. Secretary of State does not have discretion in whether to issue suspension, as suspension is mandatory under statute. Proportionate penalties clause does not apply because suspension is not a direct action by the government to inflict punishment.(FITZGERALD, concurring; GARMAN, specially concurring, with opinion, joined by THOMAS; FREEMAN, dissenting, with opinion, joined by BURKE.)
