Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 2217

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Includes, in the definition of "approved driver education course", a driver education course given at a Department of Defense Education Activity school that is approved by the Department of Defense Education Activity and taught by an adult driver education instructor or traffic safety officer.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill, as engrossed, and makes changes. Renames the term currently referred to as "driver training school" to "driver exam training school" throughout the Illinois Vehicle Code. Defines an "enhanced skills driving school" as a school for teaching advanced driving skills, such as emergency braking, crash avoidance, and defensive driving techniques to licensed drivers for a fee, and provides that the definition does not mean a school for preparing students for examinations given by Secretary of State. Provides that no person, firm, association, partnership or corporation may operate an enhanced skills driving school unless they have been issued a license by the Secretary of State. Provides that all behind-the-wheel instructions, practice, and experience offered by enhanced skills driving schools shall be on private property, such as race course facilities, and no behind-the-wheel instructions, practice, or experience may be given on public roadways. Sets forth requirements to operate an enhanced skills driving facility and standards for the Secretary of State to deny, cancel, suspend or revoke, renew, or refuse to renew enhanced skills driving school licenses. Makes other changes. Makes corresponding changes in the Department of Transportation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois and the Criminal Code of 1961.
