AN ACT concerning transportation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing |
Section 18c-4701 as follows:
|
(625 ILCS 5/18c-4701) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 18c-4701)
|
Sec. 18c-4701. Insignia on Vehicles.
|
(1) General Requirements to be Prescribed by Commission. |
Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, no intrastate
|
carrier shall operate any motor vehicle upon the
public roads |
of this State unless there is painted or affixed to
both sides |
of the cab or power unit, in accordance with such |
specifications as
the Commission may prescribe, the trade name |
of the carrier as it
appears on the carrier's license or the |
carrier's recognized
logo, together with the license and |
registration number of the
carrier. Likewise, no interstate |
carrier shall operate any motor
vehicle upon the public roads |
of this State unless there is
painted or affixed to both sides |
of the cab or power unit, in accordance with
such |
specifications as the Commission may prescribe, the
|
registration or authority number of the carrier. However, |
except for a household goods carrier, an interstate carrier |
operating intrastate may operate a motor vehicle upon the |
|
public roads of this State without the intrastate authority |
number of the carrier painted or affixed to any side of the cab |
or power unit.
|
(2) Use of ICC-Prescribed Identification. Identifying |
information
prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission |
may be used in
satisfaction of requirements established under |
this Section, including
special orders granting a petition for |
waiver of Sections 1057.22(a) and
1057.22(c)(2) and (4), as |
they relate to equipment receipts, of the Lease
and Interchange |
of Vehicle Regulations (49 CFR 1057), in lieu of
numbers or |
symbols prescribed by the Commission.
|
(3) Identification of Trip Lessees. Notwithstanding any |
other
provision of this Section to the contrary, a motor |
vehicle trip leased in
accordance with this Chapter, Commission |
regulations and orders shall not
be required to bear the name |
and license number of the lessee if:
|
(a) the motor vehicle bears the name and license or |
registration number
of the lessor in accordance with |
subsection (1) of this Section, Commission
regulations and |
orders;
|
(b) the lessor and lessee are commonly-owned; and
|
(c) the vehicle carries a photocopy of a letter signed |
by the lessor, on
file with the Commission, stating that |
the lessor and lessee are
commonly-owned.
|
(4) Rules not superseded. The authority of the Illinois |
Commerce
Commission to regulate the identification of motor |
|
vehicles of intrastate
and interstate carriers, engaged in the |
transportation of hazardous
materials, shall not supersede or |
replace the rules and regulations of the
Illinois Department of |
Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety
regulations |
Part 390.21, as relates now or hereafter to the markings and
|
identification of such vehicles.
|
(5) Identification on vehicles under 9,000 pounds gross |
vehicle weight
(GVW). Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight |
(GVW) less than 9,000 pounds
may, in lieu of identification |
required under subsection (1) of this
Section display the trade |
name of the carrier as it appears on the
carrier's license or |
the carrier's recognized logo, together with the
license and |
registration number of the carrier in such manner as to be
|
clearly legible and visible from both sides of the vehicle at a |
distance of
25 feet, when the vehicle is not in motion, and in |
accordance with such
specifications as the Commission may |
prescribe.
