Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that any personal property belonging to the vehicle owner in a vehicle subject to a lien shall be subject to that lien, except for the specified items, which may be claimed by immediate family members at the authorization of the vehicle owner. Establishes registration requirements for commercial vehicle safety relocators and tasks the Illinois Commerce Commission with oversight duties and the imposition of penalties. Provides that commercial vehicle safety relocators must follow specified business address requirements. Sets forth provisions concerning liens against personal property in a towed vehicle, making false statements and the power of the Commission to deny an application or revoke registration from a commercial vehicle safety relocator, and the relocation and redemption of vehicles. Makes changes regarding liability for violations of specified provisions of the Code. Requires a commercial vehicle safety relocator to designate a registered agent within the State. Adds provisions concerning vehicle impoundment, failure to satisfy fines or penalties assessed by the Commission, and suspension of tow truck registrations. Makes other changes.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that the Secretary of State shall begin suspending all tow truck registrations for failing to satisfy any fine or penalty issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission on July 1, 2026. Provides that the Secretary shall notify the person whose name appears on the certified report that the person's tow truck registrations shall be suspended within 30 days (rather than will be suspended at the end of a reasonable, specified period) unless the Secretary is presented with a notice from the Commission certifying that the fines or penalties owing the Commission have been satisfied or that inclusion of that person's name on the certified report was in error. Removes the requirement that a contest of a suspension or impending suspension be upon filing a written request with the Secretary and that the filing fee is $50.
