AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing | ||||
Sections 12-821 and 20-204 and by adding Section 3-684 as | ||||
follows: | ||||
(625 ILCS 5/3-684 new) | ||||
Sec. 3-684. Distinguished Flying Cross license plates. | ||||
(a) In addition to any other special license plate, the | ||||
Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and applications | ||||
made in the form prescribed by the Secretary of State, may | ||||
issue Distinguished Flying Cross license plates to residents of | ||||
Illinois who have been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross | ||||
medal by the United States Armed Forces. The special | ||||
Distinguished Flying Cross plates issued under this Section | ||||
shall be affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first | ||||
division, motorcycles, and motor vehicles of the second | ||||
division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds. Plates issued | ||||
under this Section shall expire according to the staggered | ||||
multi-year procedure established by Section 3-414.1 of this | ||||
Code. | ||||
(b) The design, color, and format of the plates shall be | ||||
wholly within the discretion of the Secretary of State. The | ||||
Secretary may, in his or her discretion, allow the plates to be | ||
issued as vanity plates or personalized in accordance with | ||
Section 3-405.1 of this Code. The plates are not required to | ||
designate "Land Of Lincoln", as prescribed in subsection (b) of | ||
Section 3-412 of this Code. The Secretary shall, in his or her | ||
discretion, approve and prescribe stickers or decals as | ||
provided under Section 3-412. | ||
(c) An applicant shall be charged a $15 fee for original | ||
issuance in addition to the applicable registration fee. This | ||
additional fee shall be deposited into the Secretary of State | ||
Special License Plate Fund. | ||
(625 ILCS 5/12-821) | ||
Sec. 12-821. Display of telephone number; complaint calls. | ||
(a) Each school bus shall display at the rear of the bus a | ||
sign, with letters and numerals readily visible and readable, | ||
indicating the area code and telephone number of the owner of | ||
the school bus, regardless of whether the owner is a school | ||
district or another person or entity. The sign shall be in the | ||
following form: | ||
"TO COMMENT ON MY DRIVING, CALL (area code and telephone | ||
number of school bus owner)" indicate that the number is to be | ||
called to report erratic driving by the school bus driver. | ||
A school bus owner who placed a sign conforming to the | ||
requirements of Public Act 95-176 on a school bus before the | ||
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | ||
Assembly may continue to use that sign on that school bus | ||
rather than a sign that conforms to the requirements of this | ||
amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly; however, if the | ||
school bus owner replaces that sign, the replacement sign shall | ||
conform to the requirements of this amendatory Act of the 96th | ||
General Assembly. | ||
(b) The owner of each school bus shall establish procedures | ||
for accepting the calls provided for under subsection (a) and | ||
for taking complaints. | ||
(c) The procedures established under subsection (b) shall | ||
include, but not be limited to: | ||
(1) an internal investigation of the events that led to | ||
each complaint; and | ||
(2) a report to the complaining party on the results of | ||
the investigation and the action taken, if any.
