   police officers (as well as  Illinois  State  Police  officers)  shall      
   enforce  rules  and  regulations  under  the  Chapter against drivers.      
   Provides that Commission Police officers (as  well  as  IDOT  and  the

   Law Chapter of the Code.    Provides  that  enforcement  officers  and      
   investigators  appointed  by  the  Commission  have  all the powers of

   civil violations where necessary for the enforcement of  the  Illinois      
   Motor Carrier Safety Law).
