Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Driving While Suspended
Defendant was indicted for driving while license suspended, increased to a Class 4 felony per Section 6-303(c-3) of Vehicle Code. Section 6-303(c-3) of the Vehicle Code applies to persons convicted of violating Section 6-303 during a summary suspension, for which the person was eligible for an MDDP (Monitoring Device Driving Permit) at the time the suspension was imposed. Circuit clerk does not have authority to impose assessments which are fines. Mandatory fine amounts must be expressly imposed by the court. (KNECHT and COOK, concurring.)
