Public Act 097-1062

AN ACT concerning transportation.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 1. Findings. There is currently a lack of information available to State and local government officials and the public at large regarding the number and type of traffic violations involving taxis. By imposing a duty upon circuit court clerks to make this information available, governments can take further steps to ensure the safety of our streets for both pedestrians and drivers.

Section 5. The Taxi Safety Act of 2007 is amended by adding Section 15 as follows:

(625 ILCS 55/15 new)

Sec. 15. Taxi safety reporting. In counties in which vehicle citation records are not readily available to the public, the clerk of the circuit court shall furnish a list of all moving violations involving a taxi or an individual licensed or registered as a taxi driver upon the request of a unit of government that licenses, registers, or otherwise regulates taxi drivers.

Effective Date: 1/1/2013
