Item 1

 
(1)__The authority shall send a notice of liability by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to a person
alleged to be liable as a registered owner under this
subsection.__The notice must be sent to the address of
the registered owner on record with the authority if the
registered owner is an electronic toll collection patron
of the authority or, if no such record exists, the
address of the registered owner on record with the
Secretary of State.__A record of the certified mailing is
prima facie evidence of the mailing of the notice.

 
(2)__A notice of liability must include the name and
address of the person alleged to be liable as a
registered owner for the failure to pay a toll under
this subsection, the amount of the toll not paid, the
registration number of the vehicle involved, the toll
collection facility at which the failure occurred and
the date and the approximate time of the failure.__The
notice must also include the name, address and
telephone number of the violation clerk responsible for
enforcing the penalty for the failure to pay.

 
(3)__A notice of liability must include information
advising the person liable under this subsection of the
manner and time in which the liability alleged in the
notice may be contested and the statutory defenses
described in paragraph E.__The notice must also include
a warning that failure to contest in the manner and
time provided is an admission of liability and a waiver
of available defenses and may result in revocation of
the registration certificate and plates issued for the
vehicle.

 
(4)__Within 30 calendar days after the date of the
issuance of the notice of liability, the registered
owner to whom the notice is issued must:

 
(a)__Pay the amount of the toll for which the
person is liable, the civil penalty or penalties
provided for in paragraph A and an administrative
fee of $20 for each toll for which the person is
liable but has not paid;

 
(b)__Send a written dispute by mail to the
violation clerk named in the notice, as provided
by paragraph I; or
