    AN ACT concerning local government.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 5. The Counties Code is amended  by changing Section 
5-1092 as follows:
 



    (55 ILCS 5/5-1092)  (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1092)



    Sec. 5-1092. Inoperable motor vehicles. A county board may

declare by ordinance inoperable motor vehicles, whether on 
public or
private property, to be a nuisance and authorize 
fines to be levied for the
failure of any person to obey a 
notice received from the county which
states that such person 
is to dispose of any inoperable motor vehicles
under his 
control, and may authorize a law enforcement agency, with

applicable jurisdiction, to remove, after 7 days from the 
issuance of the
county notice, any inoperable motor vehicle or 
parts thereof. However,
nothing in this Section shall apply to 
any motor vehicle that is kept
within a building when not in 
use, to operable historic vehicles over 25
years of age, or to 
a motor vehicle on the premises of a place of business
engaged 
in the wrecking or junking of motor vehicles.

    As used in this Section, "inoperable motor vehicle" means 
any motor
vehicle from which, for a period of at least 7 days 
or any
longer period of time fixed by ordinance, the engine, 
wheels
or other parts have been removed, or on which the 
engine, wheels or other
parts have been altered, damaged or 
otherwise so treated that the vehicle
is incapable of being 
driven under its own motor power. "Inoperable motor
vehicle" 
shall not include a motor vehicle which has been rendered

temporarily incapable of being driven under its own motor power 
in order to
perform ordinary service or repair operations. In a 
non-home rule county with a population of more than 500,000, 
"inoperable motor vehicle" also includes any motor vehicle that 
does not have a current license plate or current license tags 
attached to it if a current license plate or license tags are 
required under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
