Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 18b-107. Violations - Civil penalties. Except as provided in Section 18b-108, any person who is determined
by the Department after reasonable notice and opportunity for a fair and
impartial hearing to have committed an act in violation of this Chapter
or any rule or regulation issued under this Chapter is liable to the State
for a civil penalty. Such person is subject to a civil penalty as prescribed by Appendix B to 49 CFR Part 386 -- Penalty Schedule; Violations and Maximum Monetary Penalties, except that a person committing a
railroad-highway
grade crossing violation is subject to a civil penalty of not more than
$10,000, and, if any such violation is a continuing one,
each day of violation constitutes a separate offense. The amount of any
such penalty shall be assessed by the Department by a written notice. In
determining the amount of such penalty, the Department shall take into
account the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation and,
with respect to a person found to have committed such violation, the degree
of culpability, history or prior offenses, ability to pay, effect on
ability to continue to do business and such other matters as justice
may require.
Such civil penalty is recoverable in an action brought by the State's
Attorney or the Attorney General on behalf of the State in the circuit
court or, prior to referral to the State's Attorney or the Attorney
General, such civil penalty may be compromised by the Department. The
amount of such penalty when finally determined (or agreed upon in
compromise), may be deducted from any sums owed by the State to the person
charged. All civil penalties collected under this subsection shall be
deposited in the Road Fund.

Sec. 18b-112. Intermodal trailer, chassis, and safety.
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this Section:
"Equipment interchange agreement" means a
written document executed by the intermodal
equipment provider and operator at the time the
equipment is interchanged by the provider to the
operator.
"Equipment provider" is the owner of an intermodal trailer, chassis, or
container.
This includes any forwarding company, water carrier, steamship line, railroad,
vehicle
equipment leasing company, and their subsidiary or affiliated companies owning

"Federal motor carrier safety regulations"
means regulations promulgated by the United
States Department of Transportation governing
the condition and maintenance of commercial
motor vehicles contained in Title 49 of the
United States Code of Federal Regulations on the
day of enactment of this Act or as amended or
revised by the United States Department of
Transportation thereafter.
"Interchange" means the act of providing a
vehicle to a motor carrier by an equipment
provider for the purpose of transporting the
vehicle for loading or unloading by another party
or the repositioning of the vehicle for the benefit
of the equipment provider. "Interchange" does
not include the leasing of the vehicle by a motor
carrier from an owner-operator pursuant to

Federal Regulations or the leasing of a vehicle to
a motor carrier for use in the motor carrier's over-the-road freight hauling
operations.
"Operator" means a motor carrier or driver of
a commercial motor vehicle.
"Vehicle" means an intermodal trailer,

(b) Responsibility of equipment

regulations. It is the responsibility of the
equipment provider to inspect and, if a vehicle at
the time of inspection does not comply with all
federal motor carrier safety regulation
requirements, perform the necessary repairs on,
all vehicles prior to interchange or offering for
interchange.
(c) Duty of inspection by the
operator. Before interchanging a vehicle with an
operator, an equipment provider must provide the
operator the opportunity and facilities to perform
a visual inspection of the equipment. The operator must determine
if it complies with the provisions of the federal
motor carrier safety regulation capable of being
determined from an inspection. If the operator
determines that the vehicle does not comply with
the provisions of the federal motor carrier safety
regulations, the equipment provider shall
immediately perform the necessary repairs to the
vehicle so that it complies with the federal motor
carrier safety regulations or shall immediately
provide the operator with another vehicle.
(d) Presumption of defect prior to
interchange.
(1) If as a result of a roadside inspection by the | | Illinois State Police, any of the defects listed in paragraph (2) are discovered, a rebuttable presumption existed at the time of the interchange.

Legislative Intent.
The General Assembly finds that:
(a) a comprehensive recodification of existing | | transportation regulatory statutes is needed to delete obsolete provisions and facilitate a coordinated approach to regulation of motor carriers, rail carriers, and brokers;
|
|
(b) the accelerating pace of change in the
| | transportation industry, as an outgrowth of changing economic conditions and federal legislation, necessitates the streamlining of regulatory procedures to allow for prompt action to protect the interests of the people of the State of Illinois; and
|
|
(c) an increasing incidence of unlawful activity by
| | unlicensed carriers and others has rendered existing enforcement mechanisms inadequate.
|
|
Where the language of any provision in this Chapter is substantially
similar to the language in the predecessor statute, the legislative intent
expressed in this Chapter shall be the same as the legislative intent
embodied in the predecessor statute as construed by the courts of this
State and, where appropriate, reports of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Laws
Commission.
