29 Chapter regardless of the route traveled.
30 (3) Any person operating a legal combination of
31 vehicles displaying valid registration shall not be
32 considered in violation of the registration provision of
33 this subsection unless the total gross weight of the
34 combination exceeds the total licensed weight of the
-13- LRB9003834NTsbam06

4 gross weight of vehicles in combination.
5 (4) If the defendant claims that he or she had
6 previously paid the appropriate Illinois registration
7 fees and taxes for this vehicle before the alleged
8 violation, the defendant shall have the burden of proving
9 the existence of the payment by competent evidence.
10 Proof of proper Illinois registration issued by the
