Nothing in this item shall be construed to require | 5 | | the removal of the vehicle from this state following the | 6 | | filing of an intent to title the vehicle in the purchaser's | 7 | | state of residence if the purchaser titles the vehicle in | 8 | | his or her state of residence within 30 days after the date | 9 | | of sale.

25th day of each calendar | 16 | | month, the Department shall prepare and certify
to the | 17 | | Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to named | 18 | | counties
from which rentors have paid taxes or penalties | 19 | | hereunder to the Department
during the second preceding | 20 | | calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
county shall be | 21 | | the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected | 22 | | hereunder
during the second preceding calendar month by the | 23 | | Department, and not including
an amount equal to the amount of | 24 | | refunds made during the second preceding
calendar month by the | 25 | | Department on behalf of such county, less 2% of such
balance, | 26 | | which sum shall be retained by the State Treasurer to cover the
|
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 47 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | costs incurred by the Department in administering and enforcing | 2 | | this
Section as provided herein. The Department at the time of | 3 | | each monthly
disbursement to the counties shall prepare and | 4 | | certify to the Comptroller
the amount, so retained by the State | 5 | | Treasurer, to be paid into the General
Revenue Fund of the | 6 | | State Treasury. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
| 7 | | Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the counties | 8 | | and the
General Revenue Fund, provided for in this Section to | 9 | | be given to the
Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller | 10 | | shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts | 11 | | in accordance with the directions
contained in such | 12 | | certification.
| 13 | | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a | 14 | | county to
impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | 15 | | business which under the
constitution of the United States may | 16 | | not be made the subject of taxation
by this State.
| 17 | | An ordinance or resolution imposing a tax hereunder or | 18 | | effecting a change
in the rate thereof shall be effective on | 19 | | the first day of the calendar
month next following the month in | 20 | | which such ordinance or resolution is
passed. The corporate | 21 | | authorities of any county which levies a tax authorized
by this | 22 | | Section shall transmit to the Department of Revenue on or not | 23 | | later
than 5 days after passage of the ordinance or resolution | 24 | | a certified copy
of the ordinance or resolution imposing such | 25 | | tax whereupon the Department
of Revenue shall proceed to | 26 | | administer and enforce this Section on behalf
of such county as |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 48 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | of the effective date of the ordinance or resolution.
Upon a | 2 | | change in rate of a tax levied hereunder, or upon the | 3 | | discontinuance
of the tax, the corporate authorities of the | 4 | | county shall on or not later
than 5 days after passage of the | 5 | | ordinance or resolution discontinuing the
tax or effecting a | 6 | | change in rate transmit to the Department of Revenue a
| 7 | | certified copy of the ordinance or resolution effecting such | 8 | | change or discontinuance.
| 9 | | The Department of Revenue must upon the request of the | 10 | | County Clerk or County
Board submit to a county a list of those | 11 | | persons who are registered with
the Department to pay | 12 | | automobile renting occupation tax within the unincorporated
| 13 | | area of that governmental unit. This list shall contain only | 14 | | the names
of persons who have paid the tax and not the amount | 15 | | of tax paid by such person.
| 16 | | This Section shall be known and may be cited as the "County | 17 | | Automobile
Renting Occupation Tax Law".

| 19 | | Section 25. If and only if Senate Bill 2641 of the 100th | 20 | | General Assembly, as amended by House Amendment No. 3 and House | 21 | | Amendment No. 4, becomes law, then the Illinois Municipal Code | 22 | | is amended by changing Section 8-11-7 as follows:
| 23 | | (65 ILCS 5/8-11-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-7)
| 24 | | Sec. 8-11-7.
The corporate authorities of a municipality |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 49 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | may impose
a tax upon all persons engaged in the business of | 2 | | renting automobiles in
the municipality at the rate of not to | 3 | | exceed 1% of the gross receipts from
such business. For the | 4 | | purposes of imposing a tax under this Section, the facilitation | 5 | | of the use of a privately-owned passenger motor vehicle for use | 6 | | by a person other than the vehicle's registered owner as a part | 7 | | of a car facilitation transaction, as defined in Section | 8 | | 1-110.06 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, constitutes engaging in | 9 | | the business of renting automobiles in the municipality. The | 10 | | tax imposed by a municipality pursuant to this Section
and all | 11 | | civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof | 12 | | shall
be collected and enforced by the State Department of | 13 | | Revenue. The certificate
of registration which is issued by the | 14 | | Department to a retailer under the
Retailers' Occupation Tax | 15 | | Act or under the Automobile Renting Occupation and Use Tax
Act | 16 | | shall permit such
person to engage in a
business which is | 17 | | taxable under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant
to | 18 | | this Section without registering separately with the | 19 | | Department under
such ordinance or resolution or under this | 20 | | Section. The Department shall
have full power to administer and | 21 | | enforce this Section; to collect all taxes
and penalties due | 22 | | hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
in | 23 | | the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights to | 24 | | credit
memoranda, arising on account of the erroneous payment | 25 | | of tax or penalty
hereunder. In the administration of, and | 26 | | compliance with, this Section,
the Department and persons who |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 50 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | are subject to this Section shall have the
same rights, | 2 | | remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
| 3 | | subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, | 4 | | penalties and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes | 5 | | of procedure, as are prescribed
in Sections 2 and 3 (in respect | 6 | | to all provisions therein other than the
State rate of tax; and | 7 | | with relation to the provisions of the "Retailers'
Occupation | 8 | | Tax" referred to therein, except as to the disposition of taxes
| 9 | | and penalties collected, and except for the provision allowing | 10 | | retailers
a deduction from the tax to cover certain costs, and | 11 | | except that credit
memoranda issued hereunder may not be used | 12 | | to discharge any State tax
liability) of the Automobile Renting | 13 | | Occupation and Use Tax Act, as fully
as if those provisions | 14 | | were set forth herein.
| 15 | | Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | 16 | | authority granted in
this Section may reimburse themselves for | 17 | | their tax liability hereunder
by separately stating such tax as | 18 | | an additional charge, which charge may
be stated in | 19 | | combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
| 20 | | are required to collect under the Automobile Renting Occupation | 21 | | and
Use Tax Act pursuant to such bracket schedules as the | 22 | | Department may
prescribe.
| 23 | | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 24 | | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | 25 | | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | 26 | | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn
for the |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 51 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | amount specified, and to the person named, in such notification
| 2 | | from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by the State | 3 | | Treasurer out
of the municipal automobile renting tax fund.
| 4 | | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | 5 | | Treasurer, ex-officio,
as trustee, all taxes and penalties | 6 | | collected hereunder. On or before the
25th day of each calendar | 7 | | month, the Department shall prepare and certify
to the | 8 | | Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to named
| 9 | | municipalities, the municipalities to be those from which | 10 | | rentors have paid
taxes or penalties hereunder to the | 11 | | Department during the second preceding
calendar month. The | 12 | | amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the
amount (not | 13 | | including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during the
| 14 | | second preceding calendar month by the Department, and not | 15 | | including an
amount equal to the amount of refunds made during | 16 | | the second preceding
calendar month by the Department on behalf | 17 | | of such municipality, less 1.6%
of such balance, which sum | 18 | | shall be retained by the State Treasurer to
cover the costs | 19 | | incurred by the Department in administering and enforcing
this | 20 | | Section as provided herein. The Department at the time of each
| 21 | | monthly disbursement to the municipalities shall prepare and | 22 | | certify to the
Comptroller the amount, so retained by the State | 23 | | Treasurer, to be paid into
the General Revenue Fund of the | 24 | | State Treasury. Within 10 days after
receipt, by the | 25 | | Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
| 26 | | municipalities and the General Revenue Fund, provided for in |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 52 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | this
Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, | 2 | | the Comptroller
shall cause the orders to be drawn for the | 3 | | respective amounts
in accordance with the directions contained | 4 | | in such certification.
| 5 | | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a | 6 | | municipality
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | 7 | | any business which under
the Constitution of the United States | 8 | | may not be made the subject of taxation
by this State.
| 9 | | An ordinance or resolution imposing a tax hereunder or | 10 | | effecting a change
in the rate thereof shall be effective on | 11 | | the first day of the calendar
month next following publication | 12 | | as provided in Section 1-2-4. The corporate
authorities of any | 13 | | municipality which levies a tax authorized by this Section
| 14 | | shall transmit to the Department of Revenue on or not later | 15 | | than 5 days
after publication a certified copy of the ordinance | 16 | | or resolution imposing
such tax whereupon the Department of | 17 | | Revenue shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section on | 18 | | behalf of such municipality as of the effective
date of the | 19 | | ordinance or resolution. Upon a change in rate of a tax levied
| 20 | | hereunder, or upon the discontinuance of the tax, the corporate | 21 | | authorities
of the municipality shall on or not later than 5 | 22 | | days after publication
of the ordinance or resolution | 23 | | discontinuing the tax or effecting a change
in rate transmit to | 24 | | the Department of Revenue a certified copy of the
ordinance or | 25 | | resolution effecting such change or discontinuance.
| 26 | | The Department of Revenue must upon the request of the |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 53 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | municipal clerk,
city council or village board of trustees | 2 | | submit to a city, village or
incorporated town a list of those | 3 | | persons who are registered with the
Department to pay | 4 | | automobile renting occupation tax within that
governmental | 5 | | unit. This list shall contain only the names of persons who
| 6 | | have paid the tax and not the amount of tax paid by such | 7 | | person.
| 8 | | As used in this Section, "municipal" and "municipality" | 9 | | means a city, village
or incorporated town, including an | 10 | | incorporated town which has superseded
a civil township.

| 14 | | Section 30. If and only if Senate Bill 2641 of the 100th | 15 | | General Assembly, as amended by House Amendment No. 3 and House | 16 | | Amendment No. 4, becomes law, then the Illinois Vehicle Code is | 17 | | amended by changing Sections 11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, and | 18 | | 11-1201.1 as follows:
| 19 | | (625 ILCS 5/11-208.6)
| 20 | | Sec. 11-208.6. Automated traffic law enforcement system.
| 21 | | (a) As used in this Section, "automated traffic law | 22 | | enforcement
system" means a device with one or more motor | 23 | | vehicle sensors working
in conjunction with a red light signal | 24 | | to produce recorded images of
motor vehicles entering an |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 54 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | intersection against a red signal
indication in violation of | 2 | | Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision
of a local | 3 | | ordinance.
| 4 | | An
automated traffic law enforcement system is a system, in | 5 | | a municipality or
county operated by a
governmental agency, | 6 | | that
produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's
violation | 7 | | of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance
and is | 8 | | designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the
vehicle and | 9 | | the vehicle's license plate. The recorded image must also
| 10 | | display the time, date, and location of the violation.
| 11 | | (b) As used in this Section, "recorded images" means images
| 12 | | recorded by an automated traffic law enforcement system on:
| 13 | | (1) 2 or more photographs;
| 14 | | (2) 2 or more microphotographs;
| 15 | | (3) 2 or more electronic images; or
| 16 | | (4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and, on | 17 | | at
least one image or portion of the recording, clearly | 18 | | identifying the
registration plate number of the motor | 19 | | vehicle.
| 20 | | (b-5) A municipality or
county that
produces a recorded | 21 | | image of a motor vehicle's
violation of a provision of this | 22 | | Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a | 23 | | violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the | 24 | | alleged violator with a website address, accessible through the | 25 | | Internet. | 26 | | (c) Except as provided under Section 11-208.8 of this Code, |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 55 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | a county or municipality, including a home rule county or | 2 | | municipality, may not use an automated traffic law enforcement | 3 | | system to provide recorded images of a motor vehicle for the | 4 | | purpose of recording its speed. Except as provided under | 5 | | Section 11-208.8 of this Code, the regulation of the use of | 6 | | automated traffic law enforcement systems to record vehicle | 7 | | speeds is an exclusive power and function of the State. This | 8 | | subsection (c) is a denial and limitation of home rule powers | 9 | | and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII | 10 | | of the Illinois Constitution.
| 11 | | (c-5) A county or municipality, including a home rule | 12 | | county or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law | 13 | | enforcement system to issue violations in instances where the | 14 | | motor vehicle comes to a complete stop and does not enter the | 15 | | intersection, as defined by Section 1-132 of this Code, during | 16 | | the cycle of the red signal indication unless one or more | 17 | | pedestrians or bicyclists are present, even if the motor | 18 | | vehicle stops at a point past a stop line or crosswalk where a | 19 | | driver is required to stop, as specified in subsection (c) of | 20 | | Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision of a local | 21 | | ordinance. | 22 | | (c-6) A county, or a municipality with less than 2,000,000 | 23 | | inhabitants, including a home rule county or municipality, may | 24 | | not use an automated traffic law enforcement system to issue | 25 | | violations in instances where a motorcyclist enters an | 26 | | intersection against a red signal
indication when the red |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 56 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | signal fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable | 2 | | period of time not less than 120 seconds because of a signal | 3 | | malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the | 4 | | arrival of the motorcycle due to the motorcycle's size or | 5 | | weight. | 6 | | (d) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a | 7 | | local ordinance
recorded by an automatic
traffic law | 8 | | enforcement system, the county or municipality having
| 9 | | jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the
violation to | 10 | | the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged
violator. | 11 | | The notice shall be delivered to the registered
owner of the | 12 | | vehicle, by mail, within 30 days after the Secretary of State | 13 | | notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the | 14 | | owner of the vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after | 15 | | the violation.
| 16 | | The notice shall include:
| 17 | | (1) the name and address of the registered owner of the
| 18 | | vehicle;
| 19 | | (2) the registration number of the motor vehicle
| 20 | | involved in the violation;
| 21 | | (3) the violation charged;
| 22 | | (4) the location where the violation occurred;
| 23 | | (5) the date and time of the violation;
| 24 | | (6) a copy of the recorded images;
| 25 | | (7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the | 26 | | requirements of any traffic education program imposed and |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 57 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | the date
by which the civil penalty should be paid and the | 2 | | traffic education program should be completed;
| 3 | | (8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a
| 4 | | violation of a red light signal;
| 5 | | (9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty, to | 6 | | complete a required traffic education program, or to
| 7 | | contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of
| 8 | | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving
| 9 | | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle;
| 10 | | (10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | 11 | | by:
| 12 | | (A) paying the fine, completing a required traffic | 13 | | education program, or both; or
| 14 | | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or by | 15 | | administrative hearing; and
| 16 | | (11) a website address, accessible through the | 17 | | Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of | 18 | | the violation. | 19 | | (e) If a person
charged with a traffic violation, as a | 20 | | result of an automated traffic law
enforcement system, does not | 21 | | pay the fine or complete a required traffic education program, | 22 | | or both, or successfully contest the civil
penalty resulting | 23 | | from that violation, the Secretary of State shall suspend the
| 24 | | driving privileges of the
registered owner of the vehicle under | 25 | | Section 6-306.5 of this Code for failing
to complete a required | 26 | | traffic education program or to pay any fine or penalty
due and |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 58 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | owing, or both, as a result of a combination of 5 violations of | 2 | | the automated traffic law
enforcement system or the automated | 3 | | speed enforcement system under Section 11-208.8 of this Code.
| 4 | | (f) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
| 5 | | automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging | 6 | | that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts | 7 | | contained
in the notice and admissible in any proceeding | 8 | | alleging a
violation under this Section.
| 9 | | (g) Recorded images made by an automatic traffic law
| 10 | | enforcement system are confidential and shall be made
available | 11 | | only to the alleged violator and governmental and
law | 12 | | enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a
violation | 13 | | of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for other | 14 | | governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a
| 15 | | violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in
any | 16 | | proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation.
| 17 | | (h) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense of | 18 | | a violation:
| 19 | | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates of | 20 | | the motor
vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred | 21 | | and not
under the control of or in the possession of the | 22 | | owner at
the time of the violation;
| 23 | | (2) that the driver of the vehicle passed through the
| 24 | | intersection when the light was red either (i) in order to
| 25 | | yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle or (ii) as
| 26 | | part of a funeral procession; and
|
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 59 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | (3) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | 2 | | or county ordinance.
| 3 | | (i) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle or the | 4 | | registration
plates were stolen before the violation occurred | 5 | | and were not under the
control or possession of the owner at | 6 | | the time of the violation, the
owner must submit proof that a | 7 | | report concerning the stolen
motor vehicle or registration | 8 | | plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely | 9 | | manner.
| 10 | | (j) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a | 11 | | Uniform
Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of | 12 | | the violation,
the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil | 13 | | penalty not exceeding
$100 or the completion of a traffic | 14 | | education program, or both, plus an additional penalty of not | 15 | | more than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty or to | 16 | | complete a required traffic education program, or both, in a | 17 | | timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by an automated | 18 | | traffic law
enforcement system. A violation for which a civil | 19 | | penalty is imposed
under this Section is not a violation of a | 20 | | traffic regulation governing
the movement of vehicles and may | 21 | | not be recorded on the driving record
of the owner of the | 22 | | vehicle.
| 23 | | (j-3) A registered owner who is a holder of a valid | 24 | | commercial driver's license is not required to complete a | 25 | | traffic education program. | 26 | | (j-5) For purposes of the required traffic education |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 60 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | program only, a registered owner may submit an affidavit to the | 2 | | court or hearing officer swearing that at the time of the | 3 | | alleged violation, the vehicle was in the custody and control | 4 | | of another person. The affidavit must identify the person in | 5 | | custody and control of the vehicle, including the person's name | 6 | | and current address. The person in custody and control of the | 7 | | vehicle at the time of the violation is required to complete | 8 | | the required traffic education program. If the person in | 9 | | custody and control of the vehicle at the time of the violation | 10 | | completes the required traffic education program, the | 11 | | registered owner of the vehicle is not required to complete a | 12 | | traffic education program. | 13 | | (k) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic law
| 14 | | enforcement system must be posted with a sign visible to | 15 | | approaching traffic
indicating that the intersection is being | 16 | | monitored by an automated
traffic law enforcement system. | 17 | | (k-3) A municipality or
county that has one or more | 18 | | intersections equipped with an automated traffic law
| 19 | | enforcement system must provide notice to drivers by posting | 20 | | the locations of automated traffic law systems on the | 21 | | municipality or county website.
| 22 | | (k-5) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic | 23 | | law
enforcement system must have a yellow change interval that | 24 | | conforms with the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control | 25 | | Devices (IMUTCD) published by the Illinois Department of | 26 | | Transportation. |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 61 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | (k-7) A municipality or county operating an automated | 2 | | traffic law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical | 3 | | analysis to assess the safety impact of each automated traffic | 4 | | law enforcement system at an intersection following | 5 | | installation of the system. The statistical analysis shall be | 6 | | based upon the best available crash, traffic, and other data, | 7 | | and shall cover a period of time before and after installation | 8 | | of the system sufficient to provide a statistically valid | 9 | | comparison of safety impact. The statistical analysis shall be | 10 | | consistent with professional judgment and acceptable industry | 11 | | practice. The statistical analysis also shall be consistent | 12 | | with the data required for valid comparisons of before and | 13 | | after conditions and shall be conducted within a reasonable | 14 | | period following the installation of the automated traffic law | 15 | | enforcement system. The statistical analysis required by this | 16 | | subsection (k-7) shall be made available to the public and | 17 | | shall be published on the website of the municipality or | 18 | | county. If the statistical analysis for the 36 month period | 19 | | following installation of the system indicates that there has | 20 | | been an increase in the rate of accidents at the approach to | 21 | | the intersection monitored by the system, the municipality or | 22 | | county shall undertake additional studies to determine the | 23 | | cause and severity of the accidents, and may take any action | 24 | | that it determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the | 25 | | number or severity of the accidents at that intersection. | 26 | | (l) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 62 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | enforcement system
must be based on the value of the equipment | 2 | | or the services provided and may
not be based on the number of | 3 | | traffic citations issued or the revenue generated

|
| 1 | | "Safety zone" means an area that is within one-eighth of a | 2 | | mile from the nearest property line of any public or private | 3 | | elementary or secondary school, or from the nearest property | 4 | | line of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district | 5 | | that is used for educational purposes approved by the Illinois | 6 | | State Board of Education, not including school district | 7 | | headquarters or administrative buildings. A safety zone also | 8 | | includes an area that is within one-eighth of a mile from the | 9 | | nearest property line of any facility, area, or land owned by a | 10 | | park district used for recreational purposes. However, if any | 11 | | portion of a roadway is within either one-eighth mile radius, | 12 | | the safety zone also shall include the roadway extended to the | 13 | | furthest portion of the next furthest intersection. The term | 14 | | "safety zone" does not include any portion of the roadway known | 15 | | as Lake Shore Drive or any controlled access highway with 8 or | 16 | | more lanes of traffic. | 17 | | (a-5) The automated speed enforcement system shall be | 18 | | operational and violations shall be recorded only at the | 19 | | following times: | 20 | | (i) if the safety zone is based upon the property line | 21 | | of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district, | 22 | | only on school days and no earlier than 6 a.m. and no later | 23 | | than 8:30 p.m. if the school day is during the period of | 24 | | Monday through Thursday, or 9 p.m. if the school day is a | 25 | | Friday; and | 26 | | (ii) if the safety zone is based upon the property line |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 66 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | of any facility, area, or land owned by a park district, no | 2 | | earlier than one hour prior to the time that the facility, | 3 | | area, or land is open to the public or other patrons, and | 4 | | no later than one hour after the facility, area, or land is | 5 | | closed to the public or other patrons. | 6 | | (b) A municipality that
produces a recorded image of a | 7 | | motor vehicle's
violation of a provision of this Code or a | 8 | | local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation | 9 | | accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged | 10 | | violator with a website address, accessible through the | 11 | | Internet. | 12 | | (c) Notwithstanding any penalties for any other violations | 13 | | of this Code, the owner of a motor vehicle used in a traffic | 14 | | violation recorded by an automated speed enforcement system | 15 | | shall be subject to the following penalties: | 16 | | (1) if the recorded speed is no less than 6 miles per | 17 | | hour and no more than 10 miles per hour over the legal | 18 | | speed limit, a civil penalty not exceeding $50, plus an | 19 | | additional penalty of not more than $50 for failure to pay | 20 | | the original penalty in a timely manner; or | 21 | | (2) if the recorded speed is more than 10 miles per | 22 | | hour over the legal speed limit, a civil penalty not | 23 | | exceeding $100, plus an additional penalty of not more than | 24 | | $100 for failure to pay the original penalty in a timely | 25 | | manner. | 26 | | A penalty may not be imposed under this Section if the |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 67 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic Citation | 2 | | from a police officer for a speeding violation occurring within | 3 | | one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that was | 4 | | recorded by the system. A violation for which a civil penalty | 5 | | is imposed
under this Section is not a violation of a traffic | 6 | | regulation governing
the movement of vehicles and may not be | 7 | | recorded on the driving record
of the owner of the vehicle. A | 8 | | law enforcement officer is not required to be present or to | 9 | | witness the violation. No penalty may be imposed under this | 10 | | Section if the recorded speed of a vehicle is 5 miles per hour | 11 | | or less over the legal speed limit. The municipality may send, | 12 | | in the same manner that notices are sent under this Section, a | 13 | | speed violation warning notice where the violation involves a | 14 | | speed of 5 miles per hour or less above the legal speed limit. | 15 | | (d) The net proceeds that a municipality receives from | 16 | | civil penalties imposed under an automated speed enforcement | 17 | | system, after deducting all non-personnel and personnel costs | 18 | | associated with the operation and maintenance of such system, | 19 | | shall be expended or obligated by the municipality for the | 20 | | following purposes: | 21 | | (i) public safety initiatives to ensure safe passage | 22 | | around schools, and to provide police protection and | 23 | | surveillance around schools and parks, including but not | 24 | | limited to:
(1) personnel costs; and
(2) non-personnel | 25 | | costs such as construction and maintenance of public safety | 26 | | infrastructure and equipment; |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 68 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | (ii) initiatives to improve pedestrian and traffic | 2 | | safety; | 3 | | (iii) construction and maintenance of infrastructure | 4 | | within the municipality, including but not limited to roads | 5 | | and bridges; and | 6 | | (iv) after school programs. | 7 | | (e) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a | 8 | | local ordinance
recorded by an automated speed enforcement | 9 | | system, the municipality having
jurisdiction shall issue a | 10 | | written notice of the
violation to the registered owner of the | 11 | | vehicle as the alleged
violator. The notice shall be delivered | 12 | | to the registered
owner of the vehicle, by mail, within 30 days | 13 | | after the Secretary of State notifies the municipality of the | 14 | | identity of the owner of the vehicle, but in no event later | 15 | | than 90 days after the violation. | 16 | | (f) The notice required under subsection (e) of this | 17 | | Section shall include: | 18 | | (1) the name and address of the registered owner of the
| 19 | | vehicle; | 20 | | (2) the registration number of the motor vehicle
| 21 | | involved in the violation; | 22 | | (3) the violation charged; | 23 | | (4) the date, time, and location where the violation | 24 | | occurred; | 25 | | (5) a copy of the recorded image or images; | 26 | | (6) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 69 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | date
by which the civil penalty should be paid; | 2 | | (7) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a
| 3 | | violation of a speed restriction; | 4 | | (8) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty or | 5 | | to
contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of
| 6 | | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving
| 7 | | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle; | 8 | | (9) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | 9 | | by: | 10 | | (A) paying the fine; or | 11 | | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or by | 12 | | administrative hearing; and | 13 | | (10) a website address, accessible through the
| 14 | | Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of | 15 | | the violation. | 16 | | (g) If a person
charged with a traffic violation, as a | 17 | | result of an automated speed enforcement system, does not pay | 18 | | the fine or successfully contest the civil
penalty resulting | 19 | | from that violation, the Secretary of State shall suspend the
| 20 | | driving privileges of the
registered owner of the vehicle under | 21 | | Section 6-306.5 of this Code for failing
to pay any fine or | 22 | | penalty
due and owing, or both, as a result of a combination of | 23 | | 5 violations of the automated speed enforcement system or the | 24 | | automated traffic law under Section 11-208.6 of this Code. | 25 | | (h) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
| 26 | | automated speed enforcement system, a notice alleging that the |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 70 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts contained
in | 2 | | the notice and admissible in any proceeding alleging a
| 3 | | violation under this Section. | 4 | | (i) Recorded images made by an automated speed
enforcement | 5 | | system are confidential and shall be made
available only to the | 6 | | alleged violator and governmental and
law enforcement agencies | 7 | | for purposes of adjudicating a
violation of this Section, for | 8 | | statistical purposes, or for other governmental purposes. Any | 9 | | recorded image evidencing a
violation of this Section, however, | 10 | | may be admissible in
any proceeding resulting from the issuance | 11 | | of the citation. | 12 | | (j) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense of | 13 | | a violation: | 14 | | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates of | 15 | | the motor
vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred | 16 | | and not
under the control or in the possession of the owner | 17 | | at
the time of the violation; | 18 | | (2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a | 19 | | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a | 20 | | speeding violation occurring within one-eighth of a mile | 21 | | and 15 minutes of the violation that was recorded by the | 22 | | system; and | 23 | | (3) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | 24 | | ordinance. | 25 | | (k) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle or the | 26 | | registration
plates were stolen before the violation occurred |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 71 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | and were not under the
control or possession of the owner at | 2 | | the time of the violation, the
owner must submit proof that a | 3 | | report concerning the stolen
motor vehicle or registration | 4 | | plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely | 5 | | manner. | 6 | | (l) A roadway equipped with an automated speed enforcement | 7 | | system shall be posted with a sign conforming to the national | 8 | | Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that is visible to | 9 | | approaching traffic stating that vehicle speeds are being | 10 | | photo-enforced and indicating the speed limit. The | 11 | | municipality shall install such additional signage as it | 12 | | determines is necessary to give reasonable notice to drivers as | 13 | | to where automated speed enforcement systems are installed. | 14 | | (m) A roadway where a new automated speed enforcement | 15 | | system is installed shall be posted with signs providing 30 | 16 | | days notice of the use of a new automated speed enforcement | 17 | | system prior to the issuance of any citations through the | 18 | | automated speed enforcement system. | 19 | | (n) The compensation paid for an automated speed | 20 | | enforcement system
must be based on the value of the equipment | 21 | | or the services provided and may
not be based on the number of | 22 | | traffic citations issued or the revenue generated
by the | 23 | | system. | 24 | | (o) A municipality shall make a certified report to the | 25 | | Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6-306.5 of this Code | 26 | | whenever a registered owner of a vehicle has failed to pay any
|
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 72 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | fine or penalty due and owing as a result of a combination of 5 | 2 | | offenses for automated speed or traffic law enforcement system | 3 | | violations. | 4 | | (p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant | 5 | | to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated | 6 | | speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving | 7 | | such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided | 8 | | that upon the request of the appropriate authority received | 9 | | within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor | 10 | | provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and address | 11 | | of the lessee. The drivers license number of a lessee may be | 12 | | subsequently individually requested by the appropriate | 13 | | authority if needed for enforcement of this Section. | 14 | | Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant to | 15 | | this subsection, the municipality may issue the violation to | 16 | | the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it would issue | 17 | | a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle pursuant to this | 18 | | Section, and the lessee may be held liable for the violation. | 19 | | (q) A municipality using an automated speed enforcement | 20 | | system must provide notice to drivers by publishing the | 21 | | locations of all safety zones where system equipment is | 22 | | installed on the website of the municipality. | 23 | | (r) A municipality operating an automated speed | 24 | | enforcement system shall conduct a statistical analysis to | 25 | | assess the safety impact of the system. The statistical | 26 | | analysis shall be based upon the best available crash, traffic, |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 73 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | and other data, and shall cover a period of time before and | 2 | | after installation of the system sufficient to provide a | 3 | | statistically valid comparison of safety impact. The | 4 | | statistical analysis shall be consistent with professional | 5 | | judgment and acceptable industry practice. The statistical | 6 | | analysis also shall be consistent with the data required for | 7 | | valid comparisons of before and after conditions and shall be | 8 | | conducted within a reasonable period following the | 9 | | installation of the automated traffic law enforcement system. | 10 | | The statistical analysis required by this subsection shall be | 11 | | made available to the public and shall be published on the | 12 | | website of the municipality. | 13 | | (s) This Section applies only to municipalities with a | 14 | | population of 1,000,000 or more inhabitants.
| 15 | | (t) A citation issued under this Section that is dismissed | 16 | | with respect to the registered owner of a vehicle under | 17 | | subsection (e) of Section 30 of the Renter's Financial | 18 | | Responsibility and Protection Act may be issued and delivered | 19 | | by mail or other means to a car facilitation company identified | 20 | | in the registered owner's affidavit of non-liability. | 21 | | (Source: P.A. 97-672, eff. 7-1-12; 97-674, eff. 7-1-12; 98-463, | 22 | | eff. 8-16-13.) | 23 | | (625 ILCS 5/11-208.9) | 24 | | Sec. 11-208.9.

by which the civil penalty should be paid; | 2 | | (8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of a
| 3 | | violation of overtaking or passing a school bus stopped for | 4 | | the purpose of receiving or discharging pupils; | 5 | | (9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty or | 6 | | to
contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of
| 7 | | liability and may result in a suspension of the driving
| 8 | | privileges of the registered owner of the vehicle; | 9 | | (10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed | 10 | | by: | 11 | | (A) paying the fine; or | 12 | | (B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or by | 13 | | administrative hearing; and | 14 | | (11) a website address, accessible through the | 15 | | Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of | 16 | | the violation. | 17 | | (f) If a person
charged with a traffic violation, as a | 18 | | result of an automated traffic law
enforcement system under | 19 | | this Section, does not pay the fine or successfully contest the | 20 | | civil
penalty resulting from that violation, the Secretary of | 21 | | State shall suspend the
driving privileges of the
registered | 22 | | owner of the vehicle under Section 6-306.5 of this Code for | 23 | | failing
to pay any fine or penalty
due and owing as a result of | 24 | | a combination of 5 violations of the automated traffic law

|
| 1 | | (g) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
| 2 | | automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging | 3 | | that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts | 4 | | contained
in the notice and admissible in any proceeding | 5 | | alleging a
violation under this Section. | 6 | | (h) Recorded images made by an automated traffic law
| 7 | | enforcement system are confidential and shall be made
available | 8 | | only to the alleged violator and governmental and
law | 9 | | enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a
violation | 10 | | of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for other | 11 | | governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a
| 12 | | violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in
any | 13 | | proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation. | 14 | | (i) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense of | 15 | | a violation: | 16 | | (1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates of | 17 | | the motor
vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred | 18 | | and not
under the control of or in the possession of the | 19 | | owner at
the time of the violation; | 20 | | (2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a | 21 | | Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a | 22 | | violation of Section 11-1414 of this Code within one-eighth | 23 | | of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that was recorded | 24 | | by the system; | 25 | | (3) that the visual signals required by Sections 12-803 | 26 | | and 12-805 of this Code were damaged, not activated, not |

|
| 1 | | present in violation of Sections 12-803 and 12-805, or | 2 | | inoperable; and | 3 | | (4) any other evidence or issues provided by municipal | 4 | | or county ordinance. | 5 | | (j) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle or the | 6 | | registration
plates were stolen before the violation occurred | 7 | | and were not under the
control or possession of the owner at | 8 | | the time of the violation, the
owner must submit proof that a | 9 | | report concerning the stolen
motor vehicle or registration | 10 | | plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely | 11 | | manner. | 12 | | (k) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a | 13 | | Uniform
Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of | 14 | | the violation,
the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil | 15 | | penalty not exceeding
$150 for a first time violation or $500 | 16 | | for a second or subsequent violation, plus an additional | 17 | | penalty of not more than $100 for failure to pay the original | 18 | | penalty in a timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by | 19 | | an automated traffic law
enforcement system. A violation for | 20 | | which a civil penalty is imposed
under this Section is not a | 21 | | violation of a traffic regulation governing
the movement of | 22 | | vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record
of the | 23 | | owner of the vehicle, but may be recorded by the municipality | 24 | | or county for the purpose of determining if a person is subject | 25 | | to the higher fine for a second or subsequent offense. | 26 | | (l) A school bus equipped with an automated traffic law
|

| 1 | | enforcement system must be posted with a sign indicating that | 2 | | the school bus is being monitored by an automated
traffic law | 3 | | enforcement system. | 4 | | (m) A municipality or
county that has one or more school | 5 | | buses equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system | 6 | | must provide notice to drivers by posting a list of school | 7 | | districts using school buses equipped with an automated traffic | 8 | | law enforcement system on the municipality or county website. | 9 | | School districts that have one or more school buses equipped | 10 | | with an automated traffic law enforcement system must provide | 11 | | notice to drivers by posting that information on their | 12 | | websites. | 13 | | (n) A municipality or county operating an automated traffic | 14 | | law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical analysis to | 15 | | assess the safety impact in each school district using school | 16 | | buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement system | 17 | | following installation of the system. The statistical analysis | 18 | | shall be based upon the best available crash, traffic, and | 19 | | other data, and shall cover a period of time before and after | 20 | | installation of the system sufficient to provide a | 21 | | statistically valid comparison of safety impact. The | 22 | | statistical analysis shall be consistent with professional | 23 | | judgment and acceptable industry practice. The statistical | 24 | | analysis also shall be consistent with the data required for | 25 | | valid comparisons of before and after conditions and shall be | 26 | | conducted within a reasonable period following the |

|
| 1 | | installation of the automated traffic law enforcement system. | 2 | | The statistical analysis required by this subsection shall be | 3 | | made available to the public and shall be published on the | 4 | | website of the municipality or county. If the statistical | 5 | | analysis for the 36-month period following installation of the | 6 | | system indicates that there has been an increase in the rate of | 7 | | accidents at the approach to school buses monitored by the | 8 | | system, the municipality or county shall undertake additional | 9 | | studies to determine the cause and severity of the accidents, | 10 | | and may take any action that it determines is necessary or | 11 | | appropriate to reduce the number or severity of the accidents | 12 | | involving school buses equipped with an automated traffic law | 13 | | enforcement system. | 14 | | (o) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law | 15 | | enforcement system
must be based on the value of the equipment | 16 | | or the services provided and may
not be based on the number of | 17 | | traffic citations issued or the revenue generated
by the | 18 | | system. | 19 | | (p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant | 20 | | to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated | 21 | | speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving | 22 | | such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided | 23 | | that upon the request of the appropriate authority received | 24 | | within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor | 25 | | provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and address | 26 | | of the lessee. The drivers license number of a lessee may be |

|
| 1 | | subsequently individually requested by the appropriate | 2 | | authority if needed for enforcement of this Section. | 3 | | Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant to | 4 | | this subsection, the county or municipality may issue the | 5 | | violation to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it | 6 | | would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle | 7 | | pursuant to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for | 8 | | the violation. | 9 | | (q) A municipality or county shall make a certified report | 10 | | to the Secretary of State pursuant to Section 6-306.5 of this | 11 | | Code whenever a registered owner of a vehicle has failed to pay | 12 | | any
fine or penalty due and owing as a result of a combination | 13 | | of 5 offenses for automated traffic
law or speed enforcement | 14 | | system violations. | 15 | | (r) After a municipality or county enacts an ordinance | 16 | | providing for automated traffic law enforcement systems under | 17 | | this Section, each school district within that municipality or | 18 | | county's jurisdiction may implement an automated traffic law | 19 | | enforcement system under this Section. The elected school board | 20 | | for that district must approve the implementation of an | 21 | | automated traffic law enforcement system. The school district | 22 | | shall be responsible for entering into a contract, approved by | 23 | | the elected school board of that district, with vendors for the | 24 | | installation, maintenance, and operation of the automated | 25 | | traffic law enforcement system. The school district must enter | 26 | | into an intergovernmental agreement, approved by the elected |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 82 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |
|
| 1 | | school board of that district, with the municipality or county | 2 | | with jurisdiction over that school district for the | 3 | | administration of the automated traffic law enforcement | 4 | | system. The proceeds from a school district's automated traffic | 5 | | law enforcement system's fines shall be divided equally between | 6 | | the school district and the municipality or county | 7 | | administering the automated traffic law enforcement system.

| 16 | | Sec. 11-1201.1. Automated Railroad Crossing Enforcement | 17 | | System.
| 18 | | (a) For the purposes of this Section, an automated railroad | 19 | | grade crossing
enforcement system is a system in a municipality | 20 | | or county operated by a governmental agency that produces a | 21 | | recorded image of a motor vehicle's violation of a provision of | 22 | | this Code or local ordinance and is designed to obtain a clear | 23 | | recorded image of the vehicle and vehicle's license plate. The | 24 | | recorded image must also display the time, date, and location | 25 | | of the violation. |
| | | 10000SB0514sam002 | - 83 - | LRB100 05211 LNS 41106 a |

Commerce Commission may, in cooperation | 12 | | with a
local law enforcement agency, establish in any county or | 13 | | municipality an automated
railroad grade crossing enforcement | 14 | | system at any railroad grade crossing equipped with a crossing | 15 | | gate designated by local authorities. Local authorities | 16 | | desiring the establishment of an automated railroad crossing | 17 | | enforcement system must initiate the process by enacting a | 18 | | local ordinance requesting the creation of such a system. After | 19 | | the ordinance has been enacted, and before any additional steps | 20 | | toward the establishment of the system are undertaken, the | 21 | | local authorities and the Commission must agree to a plan for | 22 | | obtaining, from any combination of federal, State, and local | 23 | | funding sources, the moneys required for the purchase and | 24 | | installation of any necessary equipment.
