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.
