Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

(625 ILCS 5/3-809) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-809)
Sec. 3-809. Farm machinery, exempt vehicles and fertilizer spreaders; registration fee. (a) Vehicles of the second division having a corn
sheller, a well driller, hay press, clover huller, feed mixer and unloader,
or other farm machinery permanently mounted thereon and used solely for
transporting the same shall be
registered upon the filing of a proper application and the payment of a
registration fee of $13 per 2-year registration period. This
registration fee of $13 shall be paid in full and shall not be
reduced even though such registration is made after the beginning of the
registration period.
(b) Vehicles exempt from registration under the provisions of subsection A of Section 3-402
of this Code, as amended, may, at the option of the
owner, be identified as exempt vehicles by displaying registration plates
issued by the Secretary of State. The owner thereof may apply for such
permanent, non-transferable
registration plates upon the filing of a proper application and the payment
of a registration fee of $13. The application for and display of such registration
plates for identification purposes by vehicles exempt from registration
shall not be deemed as a waiver or rescission of its exempt status, nor make
such vehicle subject to registration. Nothing in this Section prohibits the towing of another vehicle by the exempt vehicle if the towed vehicle: (i) does not exceed the registered weight of 8,000 | | (ii) is used exclusively for transportation to and
| | (iii) is not used for carrying counter weights or
| | other material related to the operation of the exempt vehicle while under tow; and

with load shall be limited to a maximum gross weight of 36,000
pounds, restricted to a highway speed of not more than 30 miles per hour
and a legal width of not more than 12 feet. Such vehicles shall be limited
to the furthering of agricultural or horticultural pursuits and in
furtherance of these pursuits, such vehicles may be operated upon the
highway, within a 50-mile radius of their point of loading as indicated on
the written or printed statement required by the Illinois Fertilizer Act
of 1961, for the purpose of moving plant food materials or
agricultural chemicals to the field, or from field to field, for the sole
purpose of application.
Whenever any vehicle is operated in violation of subsection (c) of this Section, the owner or the driver of such vehicle shall be deemed guilty of
a petty offense and either may be prosecuted for such violation.
