1 AN ACT in relation to vehicles.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5 adding Section 15-301.1 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/15-301.1 new)
7 Sec. 15-301.1. Permits for concrete pump trucks and well
8 drilling equipment; fees.
9 (a) The Department, upon request, shall issue a single
10 trip permit or annual permit for transporting a concrete pump
11 truck or well drilling equipment. The Department shall set
12 fees for issuance of the permits. The permit allows a
13 concrete pump truck or well drilling equipment to be operated
14 on a specified route on State highways at a specified time on
15 a specified day, unless limitations due to weather conditions
16 or construction make operation too hazardous. These
17 limitations must be posted on the Department's website within
18 24 hours of the time the permit is to be used or at the time
19 the information requiring the limitations becomes available.
20 Single trip permits must be used on the route and during the
21 time specified. Although a violation of the terms and
22 conditions of the permit does not revoke the permit, a
23 vehicle and load found to be off the route prescribed in the
24 permit is deemed to be operating without a permit. Any
25 off-route vehicle and load must obtain a new permit or
26 permits, as necessary, to authorize movement back onto the
27 route authorized under the original permit.
28 (b) The Department shall determine the form and content
29 of the permit with respect to highways under its
30 jurisdiction. Local authorities shall determine the form and
31 content of the permit with respect to highways under their
-2- LRB9213644DHgc
1 jurisdiction. Permits shall be available in either written or
2 computer generated format. All other rules as to permit use
3 and procedure in this Chapter shall be applicable.
4 (c) The Department shall make available on its website
5 the procedure for acquiring the permits. The Department shall
6 provide that the fees it sets for the permits shall be
7 payable through the website using a credit card or other
8 similar device.
9 (d) A permit may not allow the transportation of
10 concrete pump trucks or well drilling equipment which exceed
11 the maximum allowable weight, length, or width limits
12 permissible on State highways.
