625 ILCS 5/ Illinois Vehicle Code.

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 5/4-304) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 4-304)

Sec. 4-304.

Implementation and administration of policy.

The Board
shall consider and adopt such programs as are designed to implement and
administer the policies hereinbefore expressed and within the
appropriations provided for by the General Assembly.

In adopting such programs, the Board shall take into consideration
the programs of the federal government in the same field, so as to
assure full coordination therewith and that the State of Illinois does
not duplicate federal actions and programs. The programs to be
considered by the Board shall in addition be designed to:

1. Effect the efficient removal of abandoned vehicles

from the highways, streets, roads, other public property, as well as from private property within Illinois.

2. Effect the efficient removal of abandoned and

derelict vehicles from private property to be junked, salvaged, recycled, or reclaimed, to wrecking, recycling or salvaging facilities, or to a temporary impoundment or area collection center.

3. Effect efficient recycling or scrap processing of

retired vehicles and the salvaging of usable parts.

4. Permit the restoration of antique and historic

vehicles by private persons or agencies.

5. Work with other State agencies to effect the

efficient and effective recycling of solid and liquid motor vehicle waste, including motor vehicle drain oil, derived in the recycling of a motor vehicle.

6. Recoup the costs of removal and disposal of

abandoned and derelict vehicles from vehicle owners, land owners and persons who abandon or discard such vehicles and from other suitable sources.

7. Promote and publicize individual responsibility of

vehicle owners for their personal disposal of unwanted and discarded vehicles and develop an effective promotional campaign to show owners how to properly dispose of such vehicles; and the legal consequences of not doing so.

8. Provide State coordination, expertise and

assistance to all local units of government, as needed, seeking legislative remedy where appropriate regarding: vehicle detitling procedure; impoundment time periods; the legal restrictions  unnecessarily delaying vehicle disposal; and, to promote and advance the technology, growth and development of the legitimate auto recycling industry to the end that this industry can effectively recycle all vehicles annually retired and accumulated in Illinois with a minimum of assistance from the State or its subdivisions.

The Board is empowered to negotiate and enter into reciprocal
agreements with other states and State and federal agencies, in
furtherance of the provisions of this Act, as amended; provided,
however, that no such reciprocal agreement may be entered into without
the approval and authorization of the State body legally required to
approve such agreements.

The Board shall make rules, regulations and by-laws, not inconsistent
with this Act or any other law of this State, as to its own
organization
and conduct and for the implementation and administration of this Act.

The Board is further empowered to enter into an agreement with any
State agency represented on the Board, to carry out the administration
of the abandoned and derelict vehicle abatement program of the Board,
and to make such funds available as may be found necessary by the Board,
as appropriated by the General Assembly.

625 ILCS 5/4-305

(625 ILCS 5/4-305) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 4-305)

Sec. 4-305.

Inventory, collection and disposal facilities.

If not otherwise economically practicable, the Board may provide by contract
with private persons or agencies, or with political subdivisions of the
State of Illinois and all local governmental units of government, for the
inventory, collection and disposal or any portion thereof,
of abandoned and derelict vehicles to wrecking, salvage or recycling
plants, or, provide facilities for the collection and proper disposal of
any vehicle under the provisions of this Act, as amended.

The Board may further formulate a program, statewide or within prescribed
areas, for the inventory and collection of abandoned and derelict
vehicles and to provide for their junking, salvage or recycling. In all
cases, the Board shall coordinate such program with each affected State
agency, local governmental unit, and local law enforcement agencies.

The Board may further subsidize political subdivisions of this State, local
governmental units and local law enforcement agencies
for their costs, provable by audit and not otherwise recoverable from
any proceeds derived from any sale of abandoned and derelict vehicles,
in collecting, storing and disposing of such vehicles
during a reimbursement period set by the Board.

Any expenditure of funds hereunder shall be subject to audit by the Auditor
General, within the appropriations for this purpose by the General Assembly,
and may be made only in the event that cost-analysis and program efficiency
show that such reimbursement subsidy is justified.
No owner of any abandoned or derelict vehicle shall in any way, receive
any funds hereunder.  This shall not, however, prohibit the Board from
examining the strategy of paying owners of discarded vehicles a limited
sum for delivering their vehicles to a collection point when scrap prices
are depressed; and bringing emergency measures such as this to the attention
of the General Assembly for its consideration at a later time.

(625 ILCS 5/4-306) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 4-306)

Sec. 4-306.

Federal aid.

The Board is authorized and empowered to do all
things necessary and proper to fully cooperate with any agency of the United
States in the administration of any federal act relating to abandoned and
derelict vehicles or the recycling or scrapping of vehicles now in effect
or hereafter enacted for the purpose of appropriation of funds for the payment
to or toward the junking, salvaging, recycling or scrapping of retired
and discarded vehicles.

Whenever federal funds are expended to provide for the
payment to or toward the junking, salvaging, recycling or scrapping of
such vehicles, the amount received as reimbursement therefor shall be
paid into the fund or trust fund in the State Treasury from which such expenditure
was made.

Sec. 4-307.

Funding and fees.

(a) The programs initiated by the Board
shall be funded by appropriations by the General Assembly to the Board.
In addition to any fees enacted by the General Assembly, the Board
shall recommend additional and optional methods of financing such programs
to the end that the programs shall become self-sufficient.

(b) In addition to any provisions made by the General Assembly,
the Board shall recommend incentives to induce the junking of abandoned
and derelict vehicles not suitable for rebuilding or restoring as antiques
or historic vehicles.  The Board may further recommend a subsidy to
implement Section 4-305.
