Short description: 
VEH CD-SPEED LIMIT 65 MPH                                                  

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to raise the maximum speed limit      
   outside an urban area to 65 miles per hour  for  any  second  division      
   vehicle  designed  or used for the carrying of a gross weight of 8,001      
   pounds or more,  bus  (on  highways  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the      
   Department  of  Transportation  or  the  Illinois  State  Toll Highway      
   Authority), house car,  camper,  private  living  coach,  recreational      
   vehicle, and vehicle towing any other vehicle.  Effective immediately.      
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Transportation)                           
          HB 575 will necessitate the removal of approximately 500 dual        
          speed limit signs at a cost of $40,000, which would result in        
          an estimated annual savings in maintenance costs of $5,000.          
          The Department projects that HB 575 will result in more severe       
          crashes, which ultimately will result in higher medical costs        
          to the State. The cost is indeterminate at this time.
