If you are arrested in Illinois for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), your drivers license will be suspended 46 days after the date of your arrest.
This is before you have been either convicted or acquitted of the offense of DUI, and it is called a statutory summary suspension. All that is required for the Secretary of State to suspend your license is for the officer to issue a uniform traffic ticket for the offense of DUI and file a sworn report with the circuit court that he did so. The circuit court informs the Secretary of State of the traffic ticket and sworn report, and the Secretary of State suspends your license.
