If the sworn report required by 625 ILCS 5/11-501.1 is defective or untimely, the Statutory Summary Suspension itself is subject to rescission. Illinois courts have vacated suspensions where the officer failed to sign the report, filed after the statutory window, or misidentified the chemical test result. A rescission granted before the 46-day trigger prevents the suspension from ever taking effect. After the trigger, rescission removes the suspension and restores driving privileges. The underlying criminal DUI case continues separately regardless. A Chicago DUI lawyer requests the report early, examines every element, and uses the sworn report as a suppression lever whenever a defect is documented.
