| Public Act 100-0369 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 | ||||
Section 18c-4701 as follows:
| ||||
(625 ILCS 5/18c-4701) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 18c-4701)
| ||||
Sec. 18c-4701. Insignia on Vehicles.
| ||||
(1) General Requirements to be Prescribed by Commission. | ||||
Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, no intrastate
| ||||
carrier shall operate any motor vehicle upon the
public roads | ||||
of this State unless there is painted or affixed to
both sides | ||||
of the cab or power unit, in accordance with such | ||||
specifications as
the Commission may prescribe, the trade name | ||||
of the carrier as it
appears on the carrier's license or the | ||||
carrier's recognized
logo, together with the license and | ||||
registration number of the
carrier. Likewise, no interstate | ||||
carrier shall operate any motor
vehicle upon the public roads | ||||
of this State unless there is
painted or affixed to both sides | ||||
of the cab or power unit, in accordance with
such | ||||
specifications as the Commission may prescribe, the
| ||||
registration or authority number of the carrier. However, | ||||
except for a household goods carrier, an interstate carrier | ||||
operating intrastate may operate a motor vehicle upon the | ||||
public roads of this State without the intrastate authority | ||
number of the carrier painted or affixed to any side of the cab | ||
or power unit.
| ||
(2) Use of ICC-Prescribed Identification. Identifying | ||
information
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission | ||
may be used in
satisfaction of requirements established under | ||
this Section, including
special orders granting a petition for | ||
waiver of Sections 1057.22(a) and
1057.22(c)(2) and (4), as | ||
they relate to equipment receipts, of the Lease
and Interchange | ||
of Vehicle Regulations (49 CFR 1057), in lieu of
numbers or | ||
symbols prescribed by the Commission.
| ||
(3) Identification of Trip Lessees. Notwithstanding any | ||
other
provision of this Section to the contrary, a motor | ||
vehicle trip leased in
accordance with this Chapter, Commission | ||
regulations and orders shall not
be required to bear the name | ||
and license number of the lessee if:
| ||
(a) the motor vehicle bears the name and license or | ||
registration number
of the lessor in accordance with | ||
subsection (1) of this Section, Commission
regulations and | ||
orders;
| ||
(b) the lessor and lessee are commonly-owned; and
| ||
(c) the vehicle carries a photocopy of a letter signed | ||
by the lessor, on
file with the Commission, stating that | ||
the lessor and lessee are
commonly-owned.
| ||
(4) Rules not superseded. The authority of the Illinois | ||
Commerce
Commission to regulate the identification of motor | ||
vehicles of intrastate
and interstate carriers, engaged in the | ||
transportation of hazardous
materials, shall not supersede or | ||
replace the rules and regulations of the
Illinois Department of | ||
Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety
regulations | ||
Part 390.21, as relates now or hereafter to the markings and
| ||
identification of such vehicles.
| ||
(5) Identification on vehicles under 9,000 pounds gross | ||
vehicle weight
(GVW). Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight | ||
(GVW) less than 9,000 pounds
may, in lieu of identification | ||
required under subsection (1) of this
Section display the trade | ||
name of the carrier as it appears on the
carrier's license or | ||
the carrier's recognized logo, together with the
license and | ||
registration number of the carrier in such manner as to be
| ||
clearly legible and visible from both sides of the vehicle at a | ||
distance of
25 feet, when the vehicle is not in motion, and in | ||
accordance with such
specifications as the Commission may | ||
prescribe.
