 1        AN ACT concerning vehicles.

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

 4        Section 5.  The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is  amended  by
 5    changing Section 3-818 as follows:

 6        (625 ILCS 5/3-818) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-818)
 7        Sec. 3-818.  (a) Mileage weight tax option.  Any owner of
 8    a  vehicle  of the second division may elect to pay a mileage
 9    weight tax for such vehicle in lieu of the  flat  weight  tax
10    set  out  in Section 3-815. Such election shall be binding to
11    the end of the registration year. Renewal  of  this  election
12    must be filed with the Secretary of State on or before July 1
13    of  each  registration period. In such event the owner shall,
14    at the time of making such election, pay the $10 registration
15    fee and the minimum guaranteed mileage weight tax for  either
16    a  maximum  of  3,000  miles  or a maximum of 7,000 miles, as
17    hereinafter provided, which payment shall permit the owner to
18    operate that  vehicle  the  maximum  mileage  in  this  State
19    hereinafter  set forth. Any vehicle being operated on mileage
20    plates cannot be operated outside of this State. In  addition
21    thereto, the owner of that vehicle shall pay a mileage weight
22    tax  at  the  following  rates for each mile traveled in this
23    State in excess of the maximum  mileage  provided  under  the
24    minimum guaranteed basis:

 1        (a-1)  A  Special  Hauling  Vehicle  is  a   vehicle   or
 2    combination  of  vehicles  of  the second division registered
 3    under Section 3-813 transporting asphalt or concrete  in  the
 4    plastic  state  or  a vehicle or combination of vehicles that
 5    are subject to the gross weight limitations in subsection (b)
 6    of Section 15-111 for which  the  owner  of  the  vehicle  or
 7    combination  of  vehicles  has elected to pay, in addition to
 8    the registration fee in subsection (a), $125 to the Secretary
 9    of State for each registration  year.   The  Secretary  shall
10    designate this class of vehicle as a Special Hauling Vehicle.
11        In preparing rate schedules on registration applications,
12    the  Secretary of State shall add to the above rates, the $10
13    registration fee. The Secretary may  decline  to  accept  any
14    renewal filed after July 1st.
15        The  number  of axles necessary to carry the maximum load
16    provided shall be determined from Chapter 15 of this Code.
17        Every owner of a second division motor vehicle for  which
18    he has elected to pay a mileage weight tax shall keep a daily
19    record  upon  forms  prescribed  by  the  Secretary of State,
20    showing the mileage covered by that vehicle  in  this  State.
21    Such  record  shall contain the license number of the vehicle
22    and the miles traveled by the vehicle in this State for  each
23    day  of  the  calendar  month. Such owner shall also maintain
24    records of fuel consumed by each such motor vehicle and  fuel
25    purchases  therefor. On or before the 10th day of January and
26    July the owner shall certify to the Secretary of  State  upon
27    forms  prescribed  therefor,  summaries  of his daily records
28    which shall show the miles traveled by the  vehicle  in  this
29    State   during   the   preceding  6  months  and  such  other
30    information as the Secretary of State may require. The  daily
31    record  and  fuel  records  shall  be  filed,  preserved  and
32    available for audit for a period of 3 years. Any owner filing
33    a  return hereunder shall certify that such return is a true,
34    correct and complete return. Any person who willfully makes a
 
                            -5-      LRB093 08472 LCB 08696 b
 1    false return hereunder is guilty  of  perjury  and  shall  be
 2    punished  in  the  same  manner  and to the same extent as is
 3    provided therefor.
 4        At the time of filing his return, each owner shall pay to
 5    the Secretary of State the proper amount of tax at  the  rate
 6    herein imposed.
 7        Every  owner  of  a  vehicle  of  the second division who
 8    elects to pay on a mileage weight tax basis and who  operates
 9    the  vehicle within this State, shall file with the Secretary
10    of State a bond in the amount of $500.  The bond shall be  in
11    a  form  approved by the Secretary of State and with a surety
12    company approved by the Illinois Department of  Insurance  to
13    transact  business  in  this  State  as  surety, and shall be
14    conditioned upon such applicant's  paying  to  the  State  of
15    Illinois all money becoming due by reason of the operation of
16    the  second division vehicle in this State, together with all
17    penalties and interest thereon.
18        Upon notice from the Secretary that  the  registrant  has
19    failed  to  pay  the  excess  mileage  fees, the surety shall
20    immediately pay the fees  together  with  any  penalties  and
21    interest thereon in an amount not to exceed the limits of the
22    bond.
