GRANBERG-LYONS,JOSEPH. 625 ILCS 5/18b-112 Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code with regard to intermodal trailer, chassis, and container safety. Provides that the owner (including the lessor or the designated operator under a pooling agreement) of any vehicle (defined as an intermodal trailer, chassis, or container) is responsible for its maintenance, regardless of whether that person has tendered the vehicle for interchange from one party to another for subsequent movement. Provides that the owner may not knowingly permit the interchange of any vehicle that violates the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and may not put a defective vehicle into commerce until required repairs have been completed. Provides that if a vehicle is put out of service as a result of a roadside inspection that occurs within 2 hours after the transfer of the vehicle from the owner to another operator, the owner must reimburse the operator within 60 days for any fines, penalties, and repair expenses necessary to restore the vehicle to service, unless the fines, penalties, and repair expenses were caused by the actions or omissions of the operator in failing to discover the defect during the inspection required by the Section. Provides that the Code is not intended to eliminate the operator's duty to inspect the vehicle. Provides that the Code, rather than the Section, is not to be applied, construed, or implemented in any manner that conflicts with federal motor carrier safety regulations.
