If someone from Illinois with a suspended license gets a ticket in Wisconsin for driving with a suspended license do the courts in Illinois find out?

Answer 1

As I recall, Indiana and Wisconsin (poss Ohio now too) have a right to petition Illinois if you don't pay an out of state ticket. They can petition to suspend your license. I got a ticket in Indiana and kept calling for two months to find out what I owed. Repeatedly a very ignorant woman told me I didn't have one on file so I stopped trying until 6mon later I got a letter from Sec. of State that I had 30 days to show them I paid it, or they would suspend my license. Most states are members of an interstate compact that notifies other member states of traffic violations of drivers licensed elsewhere. That notification appears on your driving record and has the same consequences as if it happened in the driver's home state, including suspensions for not paying tickets. For further information check the related links. As long as you pay the ticket right away without a fight, most states will not report the ticket to the license issuing state. I had a speeding ticket in Ohio and my license was from Pennsylvania. Within a few days I received a letter basically saying if I did not pay the fine, they would report it to Pennsylvania. I paid the $104 fine and never heard anything about it again. It was never reported to Pennsylvania or my insurance.
