[2]
When a fine for a violation is $150 or greater, the person who
violates the section shall be charged an additional $50 to be paid
to the unit school district where the violation occurred for school
safety purposes. If the violation occurred in a dual school district,
$25 of the surcharge shall be paid to the elementary school district

A first violation of § 71-2B is a petty offense with a minimum fine of $250. A second or subsequent violation is a petty offense with a minimum fine of $750. For a second or subsequent violation within two years of the date of the previous violation, the Secretary of State shall suspend the driver's license of the violator for a period of 90 days.

If a fine or violation is $250 or greater, the person who violated
the section shall be charged an additional $125, which shall be deposited
into the Transportation Safety Highway Hire-Back Fund in the state
treasury, unless the violation occurred on a highway other than an
interstate highway and a county police officer wrote the ticket for
the violation, in which case the $125 shall be deposited into that
county's Transportation Safety Highway Hire-back Fund. In the
case of a second or subsequent violation of the section, if the fine
is $750 or greater, the person who violated the section shall be charged
an additional $250, which shall be deposited into the Transportation
Safety Highway Hire-back Fund in the state treasury, unless the violation

No thoroughfares. Whoever violates any provisions of this chapter for which no other penalty is specified shall be subject to the penalty set forth in § 10-99 of the Code.

Operation
of vehicles on approach of authorized emergency vehicles.
(a)
A person who violates § 71-66C commits a business offense punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $10,000. It is a factor in aggravation if the person committed the offense while in violation of 625 ILCS 5/11-501. Imposition of the penalties authorized by this Subsection A(5) for a violation of § 71-66C that results in the death of another person does not preclude imposition of appropriate additional civil or criminal penalties.
