Out of State DUI
If the DMV finds you guilty of a DUI out of your home state does it come back to your home state? Also, if you plead to a lesser charge for the criminal offense does this also go back to your home state?

Re: Out of State DUI
Most states are part of an interstate compact system, whereby convictions of serious driving offenses are shared between the states. Illinois is part of this system.
Regarding criminal convictions generally, there is a national crime data base that shares criminal history among law enforcement agencies.
Re: Out of State DUI
If the "other" state is a member of the Interstate Compact, as most states are, the DUI conviction will be reported to Illinois and will be treated as an Illinois conviction. I.e., the Illinois SOS will revoke your license. Likewise, for a criminal conviction, it will be reported to NCIS, and this information will be available to all police agencies in the USA.
