IL HB3855

Creates a new Class A misdemeanor offense for operating an uninsured motor vehicle that causes bodily harm to another person, with a mandatory $2,500 fine for repeat offenders (2 or more prior violations).

Maintains existing penalties for general uninsured vehicle operation: fines of $500-$1,000 for first or second violation, and $1,000 for third or subsequent violation.

Provides a reduced penalty option for first-time offenders who obtain insurance by their court appearance: $100 fine and court supervision instead of standard penalties.

Imposes automatic 3-month driver's license suspension for uninsured operation violations, with an additional 6-month suspension if the violation occurs while already suspended.

Applies penalties to operators of motor vehicles registered in Illinois or under a similar law of another state.
