Short description: 
LOCAL GOVT TORT IMMUNITY-SNOW                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Local Governmental  and  Governmental  Employees  Tort      
   Immunity  Act.  Replaces provisions concerning a local public entity's      
   duty to exercise ordinary care in the  maintenance  of  its  property.      
   Provides  that  neither a local public entity nor a public employee or      
   agent of the local public entity, nor any other person engaged by  the      
   local  public  entity,  public  employee,  or  agent,  who  removes or      
   attempts to remove snow or ice  from  a  street,  sidewalk,  or  other      
   public  way  is  liable  for  any injury that results from a condition      
   caused by that undertaking unless the alleged misconduct  was  willful      
   and wanton.  (Current law provides that nothing in the Section              
   concerning liability for the use of streets and public ways relieves        
   a local public entity of the duty to exercise ordinary care in the          
   maintenance of its property.) Effective immediately.                        
          FISCAL NOTE (Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts)           
          HB 815 would have no fiscal impact on the judicial branch.           
          JUDICIAL NOTE (Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts)         
          HB 815 would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges      
          needed in the State.
