| 1 | | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Toll Bridge Act is amended by changing | 5 | | Section 7 as follows:
| 6 | | (605 ILCS 115/7) (from Ch. 137, par. 7)
| 7 | | Sec. 7. The county board shall fix the rates of toll, and | 8 | | may from time to
time, alter and change the same, including by | 9 | | establishing a toll rate schedule, setting a maximum toll rate | 10 | | that may be adjusted from time to time, or by establishing | 11 | | another toll rate structure, and in case of the neglect of the | 12 | | owner of
the bridge to keep the same in proper repair and safe | 13 | | for the crossing of
persons and property, may prohibit the | 14 | | taking of toll. The county board may enter into an agreement | 15 | | establishing a toll rate schedule for a period not to exceed 99 | 16 | | years, as determined by the county board. Except as regarding | 17 | | toll bridges or as otherwise provided by law, nothing in this | 18 | | amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly shall be construed | 19 | | to authorize a county, municipality, local government, or | 20 | | private operator to impose a toll upon any public road, street, | 21 | | or highway; nor shall any provision of this amendatory Act of | 22 | | the 101st General Assembly be construed to authorize, pursuant | 23 | | to an intergovernmental agreement or otherwise, the imposition |
| | | SB3002 | - 2 - | LRB101 19728 HEP 69229 b |
|
| 1 | | of any toll upon any public road, street, or highway. | 2 | | The General Assembly finds that electronic toll collection | 3 | | systems in Illinois should be standardized to promote safety, | 4 | | efficiency, and traveler convenience. If electronic toll | 5 | | collection is used on such bridge, the county shall cause the | 6 | | configuration of the electronic toll collection system to be | 7 | | compatible with the electronic toll collection system used by | 8 | | the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority. The municipality or | 9 | | private operator may enter into an agreement with the Illinois | 10 | | State Toll Highway Authority to provide for such compatibility | 11 | | or to have the Authority provide electronic toll collection or | 12 | | toll violation enforcement services. Any toll bridges in | 13 | | Winnebago County that are in operation and collecting tolls on | 14 | | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | 15 | | Assembly are exempt from the provisions of the Act.
