22    more, its removal by a towing service may be authorized by  a
23    law enforcement agency having jurisdiction.
24        (d)  When  an  abandoned,  unattended, wrecked, burned or

 7    not  more  than 12 6 hours after the time of arrest. However,
 8    such vehicle may be released by the arresting law enforcement
 9    agency prior to the end of the impoundment period if:
10             (1)  the vehicle was not owned by the  person  under
11        arrest,  and  the  lawful  owner  requesting such release
12        possesses a valid operator's license, proof of ownership,
13        and  would  not,  as  determined  by  the  arresting  law
14        enforcement agency, indicate a lack of ability to operate
15        a motor vehicle in a safe manner, or who would otherwise,
16        by operating such motor vehicle, be in violation of  this
17        Code; or
18             (2)  the  vehicle  is  owned  by  the  person  under
19        arrest,  and  the person under arrest gives permission to
20        another person to operate such vehicle, provided however,
21        that  the  other  person  possesses  a  valid  operator's
22        license and would not, as determined by the arresting law
23        enforcement agency, indicate a lack of ability to operate
24        a motor vehicle in a safe manner or who would  otherwise,
25        by  operating such motor vehicle, be in violation of this
26        Code.

29    Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
30    ordinance or in violation of Section 6-303 of  this  Code,  a
31    law  enforcement  officer  shall have the vehicle immediately
32    impounded for a period not less than:
33             (1)  24 hours for  a  second  violation  of  Section

11    removed by a towing service without liability for  the  costs
12    of  removal,  transportation  or  storage or damage caused by
13    such removal, transportation  or  storage.    The  towing  or

28        number of the vehicle, and shall obtain  and  record  the
29        name  of the person at the law enforcement agency to whom
30        such information was reported.
31             3.  If the registered owner  or  legally  authorized
32        person entitled to possession of the vehicle shall arrive
33        at  the  scene  prior  to actual removal or towing of the
34        vehicle, the vehicle shall be disconnected from  the  tow

10        of the premises from which  the  vehicles  are  towed  or
11        removed,  for  the  privilege of removing or towing those
12        vehicles, is prohibited.   Any  individual  who  violates
13        this paragraph shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
14             5.  Except for property appurtenant to and obviously
15        a  part  of  a  single  family  residence, and except for
16        instances where notice is personally given to  the  owner

19        reserved   or   otherwise   unavailable  to  unauthorized
20        vehicles and they are subject to  being  removed  at  the
21        owner  or  operator's  expense,  any  property  owner  or
22        lessor,  prior  to  towing  or  removing any vehicle from
23        private property without the  consent  of  the  owner  or
24        other  legally  authorized  person  in  control  of  that

13        and proposes to require the owner, operator, or person in
14        control  of  the  vehicle  to pay the costs of towing and
15        storage prior to redemption of the vehicle must file  and
16        keep  on  record  with the local law enforcement agency a
17        complete copy of the current rates to be charged for such
18        services, and post at the storage site an identical  rate
19        schedule  and any written contracts with property owners,
20        lessors,  or  persons  in  control  of   property   which

12        towing service from liability for damages incurred during
13        the  towing  and storage may be required from any vehicle
14        owner or other legally authorized person as  a  condition

 4    restrictions  of this subsection shall be guilty of a Class C
 5    misdemeanor and shall be fined not less than  $100  nor  more
 6    than $500.

 8    dilapidated motor vehicle pursuant to  Section  11-40-3.1  of
 9    the Illinois Municipal Code, its removal and impoundment by a
10    towing  service may be authorized by a law enforcement agency
11    with appropriate jurisdiction.
12        When a vehicle removal  from  either  public  or  private
13    property is authorized by a law enforcement agency, the owner
14    of  the  vehicle  shall  be  responsible  for  all towing and
15    storage charges.
16        Vehicles removed from  public  or  private  property  and

24    and implied consent shall be deemed satisfied  by  compliance
25    with  Section  18a-302 and subsection (6) of Section 18a-300.

27    established in accordance  with  subsection  (6)  of  Section
28    18a-200  of  this  Code.   In  no  event  shall  such lien be
29    increased or altered to reflect any charge  for  services  or
30    materials  rendered  in  addition to those authorized by this
31    Act.  Every such lien shall be payable by use  of  any  major
32    credit card, in addition to being payable in cash.
