Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Code and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Removes references to a neighborhood vehicle in the Illinois Vehicle Code. Creates a new Article in the Illinois Vehicle Code regulating low-speed vehicles and non-highway vehicles and consolidates a provision concerning the operation of low-speed vehicles on streets into a similar provision concerning the operation of non-highway vehicles on streets into one provision in the new Article. Provides that it is unlawful for any person to drive or operate a low-speed vehicle or non-highway vehicle upon any street in this State unless expressly authorized by a unit of local government. Provides that it is lawful for any person to drive or operate a low-speed vehicle upon any street that is located in the City of Chicago where the posted speed limit is 30 miles per hour or less unless the City of Chicago or the Illinois Department of Transportation prohibit the activity. Provides that any person engaged in the retail sale of low-speed vehicles are required to comply with the motor vehicle dealer licensing, registration, and bonding laws of this State. Provides that it is lawful for any person to drive or operate a non-highway vehicle or a recreational off-highway vehicle on a county or township roadway for the purpose of conducting farming operations to and from the home, farm, farm buildings, or any adjacent or nearby farm land. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
65 ILCS 5/8-11-4from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-4

Deletes the provision of the introduced bill amending the Illinois Municipal Code. Further amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Limits the farming operations provision of the introduced bill to all-terrain vehicles and recreational off-highway vehicles (rather than all non-highway vehicles and a recreational off-highway vehicle). Provides that if vehicles used for farming operations on a roadway are not covered under a motor vehicle insurance policy, the vehicles must be covered under a farm, home, or non-highway vehicle insurance policy. Provides that the all-terrain or recreational off-highway vehicles used for farming operations on a county or township roadway at any time between one-half hour before sunset and one-half hour after sunrise must be equipped with head lamps and tail lamps, and the head lamps and tail lamps must be lighted.
