|
| 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, or by entering into an agreement | 12 | | establishing a toll rate schedule for a period not to exceed 99 | 13 | | years as determined by the county board, and in case of the | 14 | | neglect of the owner of
the bridge to keep the same in proper | 15 | | repair and safe for the crossing of
persons and property, may | 16 | | prohibit the taking of toll. Except as regarding toll bridges | 17 | | or as otherwise provided by law, nothing in this amendatory Act | 18 | | of the 101st General Assembly shall be construed to authorize a | 19 | | county, municipality, local government, or private operator to | 20 | | impose a toll upon any public road, street, or highway; nor | 21 | | shall any provision of this amendatory Act of the 101st General | 22 | | Assembly be construed to authorize, pursuant to an | 23 | | intergovernmental agreement or otherwise, the imposition of |
| | | HB5163 | - 2 - | LRB101 18217 LNS 67659 b |
|
| 1 | | 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.
