Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Limitation of Liability.
The provisions of this Section respecting liability for full

which the carrier is expressly authorized or required by order of
the Commission to establish rates based on value declared in
writing by the shipper or agreed upon by the shipper, in writing,
as the released value of the property. Such declarations or
agreements have no other effect than to limit liability to an
amount not exceeding the value declared or released, and are not
in violation of this Chapter. A tariff containing such rates shall
contain specific reference to the Commission order authorizing
them.

Bill of Lading or Similar Documentation Required.
(1) General Requirements.
Except as provided in subsection (2) of this Section, every
motor common carrier of property shall be required to issue a
bill of lading and freight bill indicating the commodities
transported, weight thereof (where freight charges are
assessed by weight), the points of origin and destination of
such commodities, the consignor and consignee, and the charge
therefor. If the commodities are not delivered by the
originating carrier, the bill of lading or freight bill shall
indicate the point of interchange and the connecting carrier.
This Section shall not apply to motor contract carriers of
property.
(2) Exceptions.
(a) Simplified Documentation.
The Commission may prescribe simplified documentation to
be issued by classes of carriers where such requirements
would be less burdensome and would effectuate the
purposes of this Chapter. Simplified documentation shall be
prescribed for the following classes of carriers:
(i) Motor common carriers of shipments composed of
parcels weighing 100 pounds or less
and not exceeding 200 pounds from one
consignor to one consignee on one day;
(ii) Carriers of agricultural or dairy products, poultry,
eggs, or fruits;
(iii) Aggregate carriers; and
(iv) Messenger carriers; and
(v) Such other classes as the Commission may, from time
to time, determine.
(b) Supplementary Requirements.
The Commission may adopt supplementary requirements for
the issuance or carrying of documentation for household
goods carriers or other carriers where large numbers of
non-commercial shippers may be affected and such
documentation is necessary to effectuate the purposes of
this Chapter.
(c) Commodity descriptions for shipments weighing 10 pounds or less.
Where a shipment weighs ten pounds or less, except when it contains
dangerous articles or hazardous materials, the following may be used in
lieu of a commodity description: "Parcel 10 Pounds or Under".
