Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Includes highways on public school property in the classification of non-designated highways. Requires vehicles to stop before meeting or overtaking, from either direction, any school bus stopped on a public school highway.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
625 ILCS 5/6-102from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-102
625 ILCS 5/6-303from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-303

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with additions. Provides that a person operating a road machine or farm tractor (regardless of whether operation of the farm tractor is between the home farm buildings and any adjacent or nearby land) for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations need not be licensed as a driver. Provides that a person operating road machines and farm tractors for the exclusive purpose of conducting farm operations is exempt from provisions concerning driving while a driver's license, permit, or privilege to operate a motor vehicle is suspended or revoked.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends: deleting the provisions changing the definition of "non-designated highways"; deleting the provisions changing the exceptions to the offense of driving while a driver's license, permit, or privilege to operate a motor vehicle is suspended or revoked; and providing that the "driver of a vehicle shall stop such vehicle before meeting or overtaking, from either direction, any school bus stopped on a highway, on a roadway, on school property, upon a private road, in a parking lot, or at any other location (including, without limitation, at a location that is not on a highway or roadway) for the purpose of receiving or discharging pupils" rather than providing that the "driver of a vehicle shall stop such vehicle before meeting or overtaking, from either direction, any school bus stopped at any location, including highways on public school property, for the purpose of receiving or discharging pupils". (Deletes reference to: 625 ILCS 5/1-126.1; 625 ILCS 5/6-303)
