Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

625 ILCS 5/12-612

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that it is unlawful for any person to (1) own or operate with criminal intent any vehicle (rather than motor vehicle) he or she knows to contain a false or secret compartment that is used or has been used to conceal a firearm as prohibited by the Criminal Code of 1961, or controlled substance as prohibited by the Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act; or (2) to install, create, build, or fabricate in any vehicle (rather than motor vehicle) a false or secret compartment knowing that another person intends to use the compartment to conceal a firearm as prohibited by the Criminal Code of 1961, or controlled substance as prohibited by the Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act. Defines the term "false or secret compartment" to mean an enclosure integrated into the vehicle that is a modification of the vehicle as built by the original manufacturer (rather than any enclosure integrated into the vehicle that is intended and designed to be used to conceal, hide, and prevent discovery by law enforcement officers of the compartment or its contents.) Establishes that the term "vehicle" means, but is not limited to, any private or commercial car, truck, bus, aircraft or watercraft. Makes other changes regarding forfeiture and sentencing.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that the vehicle that contains a false or secret compartment and the items within the compartment may only be seized by the law enforcement agency if the compartment is used in violation of law.
