Short description: 
VEH CD-LENGTH AND WIDTH LIMITS                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Vehicle  Code.   Provides  that  recreational      
   vehicles  may  exceed  by  no  more  than  6 inches on one side of the      
   vehicle the  width  of  8  feet  6  inches  if  the  excess  width  is      
   attributable  to appurtenances, including retracted awnings.  Provides      
   that recreational motor homes may be 45 feet in length (rather than 42      
   feet). Provides that a recreational vehicle may tow another vehicle if      
   the total length of the combination of vehicles  does  not  exceed  65      
   feet.  Provides that safety and energy conservation devices are not to      
   be considered in calculating the length of a motor home or the  length      
   of a combination of a recreational vehicle and another vehicle.             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that the total outside width of a  recreational  vehicle      
   may exceed 8 feet 6 inches by up to 6 inches on each side (rather than      
   on  one  side)  of  the  vehicle  if  the  excess  is  attributable to      
   appurtenances, including  rear-view  mirrors  (as  well  as  retracted      
   awnings).  Provides  that  a  motor home may be 45 feet in length, not      
   including energy absorbing bumpers and rear-view mirrors (rather  than      
   not including rear-view mirrors and other specified equipment).             
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Provides that the total outside width of a  recreational  vehicle      
   may  exceed  8  feet  6  inches if the excess width is attributable to      
   appurtenances, including retracted awnings,  that  extend  no  further      
   than  the  exterior  rear-view mirrors (rather than providing that the      
   total outside width may exceed 8 feet 6 inches on  each  side  of  the      
   vehicle   if  the  excess  width  is  attributable  to  appurtenances,      
   including retracted awnings and rear-view mirrors). Provides that  the      
   mirrors may extend only the distance necessary to provide the required      
   field of view before the appurtenances were attached.                       
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          625 ILCS 5/15-102                                                    
        Deletes everything.  Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code.  Reinserts      
   amendatory language providing that a motor home  may  be  45  feet  in      
   length, not including energy-absorbing bumpers and rear-view mirrors.
