The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by 5 changing Sections 15-301 and 15-307 as follows: 6 (625 ILCS 5/15-301) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-301) 7 Sec. 15-301. Permits for excess size and weight. 8 (a) The Department with respect to highways under its 9 jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways 10 under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon 11 application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a 12 special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a 13 vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of 14 vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act 15 or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway 16 under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit and 17 for the maintenance of which the party is responsible. 18 Applications and permits other than those in written or 19 printed form may only be accepted from and issued to the 20 company or individual making the movement. Except for an 21 application to move directly across a highway, it shall be 22 the duty of the applicant to establish in the application 23 that the load to be moved by such vehicle or combination is 24 composed of a single nondivisible object that cannot 25 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled. For the purpose of 26 over length movements, more than one object may be carried 27 side by side as long as the height, width, and weight laws 28 are not exceeded and the cause for the over length is not due 29 to multiple objects. For the purpose of over height 30 movements, more than one object may be carried as long as the 31 cause for the over height is not due to multiple objects and HB2786 Engrossed -2- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b 1 the length, width, and weight laws are not exceeded. For the 2 purpose of an over width movement, more than one object may 3 be carried as long as the cause for the over width is not due 4 to multiple objects and length, height, and weight laws are 5 not exceeded. No state or local agency shall authorize the 6 issuance of excess size or weight permits for vehicles and 7 loads that are divisible and that can be carried, when 8 divided, within the existing size or weight maximums 9 specified in this Chapter. Any excess size or weight permit 10 issued in violation of the provisions of this Section shall 11 be void at issue and any movement made thereunder shall not 12 be authorized under the terms of the void permit. In any 13 prosecution for a violation of this Chapter when the 14 authorization of an excess size or weight permit is at issue, 15 it is the burden of the defendant to establish that the 16 permit was valid because the load to be moved could not 17 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or was otherwise 18 nondivisible. 19 (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state 20 whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for 21 limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is 22 an authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of 23 Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit 24 number issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3) 25 specifically describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles 26 and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles or 27 vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided 28 in Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois 29 Department of Transportation's (IDT) registration number or 30 classification need be given; (4) state the routing requested 31 including the points of origin and destination, and may 32 identify and include a request for routing to the nearest 33 certified scale in accordance with the Department's rules and 34 regulations, provided the applicant has approval to travel on HB2786 Engrossed -3- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b 1 local roads; and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being 2 transported for hire. No permits for the movement of a 3 vehicle or load for hire shall be issued to any applicant who 4 is required under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law 5 to have a certificate, registration or permit and does not 6 have such certificate, registration or permit. 7 (c) The Department or local authority when not 8 inconsistent with traffic safety is authorized to issue or 9 withhold such permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is 10 issued at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes to 11 be traveled, to limit the number of trips, to establish 12 seasonal or other time limitations within which the vehicles 13 described may be operated on the highways indicated, or 14 otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions of operations of 15 such vehicle or vehicles, when necessary to assure against 16 undue damage to the road foundations, surfaces or structures, 17 and may require such undertaking or other security as may be 18 deemed necessary to compensate for any injury to any roadway 19 or road structure. The Department shall maintain a daily 20 record of each permit issued along with the fee and the 21 stipulated dimensions, weights, conditions and restrictions 22 authorized and this record shall be presumed correct in any 23 case of questions or dispute. The Department shall install an 24 automatic device for recording applications received and 25 permits issued by telephone. In making application by 26 telephone, the Department and applicant waive all objections 27 to the recording of the conversation. 28 (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing 29 from any local authority, issue an annual permit authorizing 30 the local authority to move oversize highway construction, 31 transportation, utility and maintenance equipment over roads 32 under the jurisdiction of the Department. The permit shall be 33 applicable only to equipment and vehicles owned by or 34 registered in the name of the local authority, and no fee HB2786 Engrossed -4- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b 1 shall be charged for the issuance of such permits. 2 (e) As an exception to paragraph (a) of this Section, 3 the Department and local authorities, with respect to 4 highways under their respective jurisdictions, in their 5 discretion and upon application in writing may issue a 6 special permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing 7 the applicant to move loads of sweet corn, soybeans, corn, 8 wheat, milo, other small grains and ensilage during the 9 harvest season only on a 2 axle single vehicle registered by 10 the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 35% 11 above those provided in Section 15-111. Permits may be issued 12 for a period not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a 13 distance not to exceed 25 miles from a field to a specified 14 processing plant over any highway except the National System 15 of Interstate and Defense Highways. All such vehicles shall 16 be operated in the daytime except when weather or crop 17 conditions require emergency operation at night, but with 18 respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with load 19 shall be equipped with flashing amber lights as specified 20 under Section 12-215. Upon a declaration by the Governor that 21 an emergency harvest situation exists, a special permit 22 issued by the Department under this Section shall not be 23 required from September 1 through December 31 during harvest 24 season emergencies, provided that the weight does not exceed 25 20% above the limits provided in Section 15-111. All other 26 restrictions that apply to permits issued under this Section 27 shall apply during the declared time period. With respect to 28 highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the 29 local authorities may, at their discretion, waive special 30 permit requirements during harvest season emergencies. This 31 permit exemption shall apply to all vehicles eligible to 32 obtain permits under this Section, including commercial 33 vehicles in use during the declared time period. 34 (f) The form and content of the permit shall be HB2786 Engrossed -5- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b 1 determined by the Department with respect to highways under 2 its jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to 3 highways under their jurisdiction.

Violation of the 9 terms and conditions of the permit shall not be deemed a 10 revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found 11 to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to 12 be operating without a permit. Any off route vehicle and 13 load shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as 14 necessary, to authorize the movement back onto the original 15 permit routing. No rule or regulation, nor anything herein 16 shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or 17 authorized agent of any authority granting the permit to 18 remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless 19 the permittee is charged with a fraudulent permit violation 20 as provided in paragraph (i). However, upon arrest for an 21 offense of violation of permit, operating without a permit 22 when the vehicle is off route, or any size or weight offense 23 under this Chapter when the permittee plans to raise the 24 issuance of the permit as a defense, the permittee, or his 25 agent, must produce the permit at any court hearing 26 concerning the alleged offense. 27 If the permit designates and includes a routing to a 28 certified scale, the permitee, while enroute to the 29 designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the 30 weight provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross 31 weights do not exceed any of the permitted limits by more 32 than the following amounts: 33 Single axle 2000 pounds 34 Tandem axle 3000 pounds HB2786 Engrossed -6- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b 1 Gross 5000 pounds 2 (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to 3 make available to interested persons a policy concerning 4 reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of 5 operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to 6 those contained in this Section for the movement by special 7 permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot 8 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including 9 manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof. 10 All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted 11 in the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the 12 traveling public and the protection of the highway system and 13 shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions 14 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The 15 requirements of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles 16 shall be the same for all moves of comparable size and 17 weight. When escort vehicles are required, they shall meet 18 the following requirements: 19 (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over 20 and properly licensed to operate the vehicle. 21 (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than 22 12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing 23 amber light mounted on top as specified under Section 24 12-215. 25 The Department shall establish reasonable rules and 26 regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance 27 for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under The 28 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be 29 required for escort under circumstances as required by rules 30 and regulations of the Department. 31 (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or 32 provision of any permit issued in accordance with the 33 provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit 34 null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of HB2786 Engrossed -7- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b 1 violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight 2 or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the 3 permit.

If a vehicle and load are found to be 7 off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing 8 movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a 9 permit. Any off route movement shall be subject to the size 10 and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of this 11 Chapter, as determined by the type or class highway upon 12 which the vehicle and load are being operated. 13 (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made 14 under a fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the 15 person, firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted, 16 the driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who 17 issued such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of 18 fraud and either one or all persons may be prosecuted for 19 such violation.
