 1        AN ACT concerning nuisance vehicles.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Counties  Code  is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 5-1092 as follows:

 6        (55 ILCS 5/5-1092) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1092)
 7        Sec.  5-1092.  Inoperable  or  operable motor vehicles. A
 8    county board may declare by ordinance inoperable or  operable
 9    motor  vehicles, whether on public or private property, to be
10    a nuisance and authorize fines to be levied for  the  failure
11    of any person to obey a notice received from the county which
12    states  that  such  person is to dispose of any inoperable or
13    operable motor vehicles under his control, and may  authorize
14    a  law  enforcement  agency, with applicable jurisdiction, to
15    remove, after 7 days from the issuance of the county  notice,
16    any  inoperable  or  operable motor vehicle or parts thereof.
17    However, nothing in this Section shall  apply  to  any  motor
18    vehicle  that  is  kept within a building when not in use, to
19    operable historic vehicles over 25 years  of  age,  or  to  a
20    motor  vehicle on the premises of a place of business engaged
21    in the wrecking or junking of motor vehicles.
22        As used in this Section, "inoperable motor vehicle" means
23    any motor vehicle from which, for a period of at least 7 days
24    or any longer period of time fixed by ordinance, the  engine,
25    wheels  or  other  parts  have  been removed, or on which the
26    engine, wheels or other parts have been altered,  damaged  or
27    otherwise  so  treated that the vehicle is incapable of being
28    driven under its own motor power. "Inoperable motor  vehicle"
29    shall  not  include  a  motor vehicle which has been rendered
30    temporarily incapable of being driven  under  its  own  motor
31    power   in  order  to  perform  ordinary  service  or  repair
 
                            -2-                LRB9206671MWmg
