loads. 
    (a) No person shall operate or cause to be operated, on a 
highway, any second division vehicle loaded with dirt, 
aggregate, garbage, refuse, or other similar material, when 
any portion of the load is falling, sifting, blowing, dropping 
or in any way escaping from the vehicle.
    (b) No person shall operate or cause to be operated, on a 
highway, any second division vehicle having a gross vehicle 
weight rating of 8,000 pounds or more loaded with dirt, 
aggregate, garbage, refuse, or other similar material in or on 
any part of the vehicle other than in the cargo area. In 
addition, no person shall operate on any highway, such vehicle 
unless the tailgate on the vehicle is in good repair and 
operating condition and closes securely so as to prevent any 
load, residue, or other material from escaping.
    (c) This Section shall not apply to the operation of 
highway maintenance vehicles engaged in removing snow and ice 
from the roadway, nor to implements of husbandry or other farm 
vehicles while transporting agricultural products to or from 
the original place of production.
    (d) For the purpose of this Section "aggregate" shall 
include all ores, minerals, sand, gravel, shale, coal, clay, 
limestone or any other ore or mineral which may be mined.
    (e) Notwithstanding any other penalty, whenever a police 
officer determines that the operator of a vehicle is in 
violation of this Section, as evidenced by the issuance of a 
citation for a violation of Section 15-109.1 of this Code, or 
where a police officer determines that a dangerous condition 
exists whereby any portion of the load may fall, sift, blow, 
drop, or in any way escape or fall from the vehicle, the police 
officer shall require the operator to stop the vehicle in a 
suitable place and keep such vehicle stationary until the load 
has either been reduced, secured, or covered with a cover or 
tarpaulin of sufficient size to prevent any further violation 
of this Section.
    (f) No person shall operate or cause to be operated, on a 
highway, a commercial motor vehicle, with the exception of a 
highway maintenance vehicle, transporting garbage or refuse 
unless the tailgate on the vehicle is in good working repair, 
good operating condition, and closes securely, with a cover or 
tarpaulin of sufficient size attached, so as to prevent any 
load, residue, or other material from escaping. 
    (g) Any violation of the provisions of this Section shall 
be a petty offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $150 
$250. In addition, a person, firm, or corporation convicted of 
4 or more violations of subsection (f) within a 12-month 
period shall be fined an additional amount of $150 for the 
fourth and each subsequent conviction within the 12-month
