VEH CD-RED LIGHT ENFORCEMENT                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code.  Defines "automated  red  light      
   enforcement  system"  as  a  system  that  photographically  records a      
   vehicle's response to a  traffic  control  signal  with  a  red  light      
   indication  and  is designed to obtain a photograph of the vehicle and      
   its license plate.  Provides that the owner of a vehicle used in a red      
   signal violation shall be liable for the violation  if  the  violation      
   was  recorded by the system, with exceptions.  In a Section concerning      
   administrative adjudication of violations, adds violations recorded by      
   the System.  Requires a  municipality  to  forward  a  report  of  the      
   adjudication to the Secretary of State. Effective immediately.              
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          625 ILCS 5/6-204                                                     
        Limits the definition of "automated red light enforcement system"      
   to a system in a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or  more.      
   Removes provisions concerning a municipality forwarding a report of an      
   adjudication  to  determine  liability  for a violation recorded by an      
   automated red light enforcement  system  to  the  Secretary  of  State      
   instead of requiring the clerk of the court to forward a report of the      
   conviction  to  the  Secretary.  In  provisions holding the owner of a      
   vehicle used in a red signal violation liable for the violation if the      
   violation was recorded by a red  light  enforcement  system,  adds  an      
   exception for if the violation occurred when the vehicle was rented to      
   another.   In  the  provision  concerning  the  exception for when the      
   violation occurred when the vehicle was leased  to  another,  provides      
   that  within  30  (instead  of  10)  days  of  receiving notice of the      
   violation, the owner shall submit the name and address of the lessee.       
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 3.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          625 ilcs 5/11-208.3                                                  
        Limits the definition of "automated red light enforcement system"      
   to obtaining a photograph only when the motor vehicle is involved in a      
   motor vehicle accident, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident,      
   or reckless driving that results in bodily injury. Removes the provi-       
   sions concerning the owner of a vehicle used in a red signal violation      
   being liable for the violation if the violation was recorded by the         
   system. Provides that a municipality may enact an ordinance that pro-       
   vides for the use of an automated red light enforcement system to en-       
   force the red signal violation provisions of the Vehicle Code that          
   result in or involve a motor vehicle accident, leaving the scene of a       
   motor vehicle accident, or reckless driving that results in bodily          
   injury.                                                                     
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that a municipality with a population  of  1,000,000  or      
   more  (instead  of  any  municipality)  may  enact  an  ordinance that      
   provides for the use of an automated red light enforcement system.          
          FISCAL NOTE, AMENDED (Ill. State Police)                             
          SB543 will have no fiscal impact on the Agency.                      
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Provides that the provision concerning a municipality enacting an      
   ordinance  that  provides  for  the  use  of  an  automated  red light      
   enforcement system to enforce red  signal  violations  is  subject  to      
   prosecutorial discretion.
