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.

Collisions, accidents, and casualties; reports.

A. The operator of a snowmobile involved in a collision, accident, or
other casualty, shall render to other persons affected by this collision,
accident, or other casualty such assistance as may be practicable and as
may be necessary in order to save them from or minimize any danger caused
by the collision, accident, or other casualty, and also shall give his
name, address, and identification of his snowmobile to any person injured
and to the owner of any property damaged in the collision, accident, or
other casualty.

B. In the case of collision, accident, or other casualty involving the
operation of a
snowmobile, the operator thereof, if the collision, accident, or other
casualty results in death or injury to a person or damage to property in
excess of $750, shall file with the Department a full description
of the
collision, accident, or other casualty, including such information as the
Department may, by regulation, require. Reports of such accidents must be
filed with the Department on a Department Accident Report form within 5
days.

C. Reports of accidents resulting in personal injury, wherein a person
is incapacitated for a period exceeding 72 hours, must be filed with the
Department on a Department Accident Report form within 5 days. Accidents
which result in loss of life shall be reported to the Department on a
Department form within 48 hours.

D. All required accident reports and supplemental reports are without
prejudice to the individual so reporting, and are for the confidential use
of the Department, except that the Department may disclose the identity of
a person involved in an accident when such identity is not otherwise known
or when such person denies his presence at such accident. No such report
may be used as evidence in any trial, civil or criminal, arising out of an
accident, except that the Department must furnish upon demand of any person
who has or claims to have made such a report, or upon demand of any court,
a certificate showing that a specified accident report has or has not been
made to the Department, solely to prove a compliance or a failure to comply
with the requirements that such a report be made to the Department.
