HB2786 Engrossed LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 AN ACT in relation to vehicles.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5 changing Sections 15-301 and 15-307 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/15-301) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-301)
7 Sec. 15-301. Permits for excess size and weight.
8 (a) The Department with respect to highways under its
9 jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
10 under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
11 application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
12 special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
13 vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
14 vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act
15 or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway
16 under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit and
17 for the maintenance of which the party is responsible.
18 Applications and permits other than those in written or
19 printed form may only be accepted from and issued to the
20 company or individual making the movement. Except for an
21 application to move directly across a highway, it shall be
22 the duty of the applicant to establish in the application
23 that the load to be moved by such vehicle or combination is
24 composed of a single nondivisible object that cannot
25 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled. For the purpose of
26 over length movements, more than one object may be carried
27 side by side as long as the height, width, and weight laws
28 are not exceeded and the cause for the over length is not due
29 to multiple objects. For the purpose of over height
30 movements, more than one object may be carried as long as the
31 cause for the over height is not due to multiple objects and
HB2786 Engrossed -2- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 the length, width, and weight laws are not exceeded. For the
2 purpose of an over width movement, more than one object may
3 be carried as long as the cause for the over width is not due
4 to multiple objects and length, height, and weight laws are
5 not exceeded. No state or local agency shall authorize the
6 issuance of excess size or weight permits for vehicles and
7 loads that are divisible and that can be carried, when
8 divided, within the existing size or weight maximums
9 specified in this Chapter. Any excess size or weight permit
10 issued in violation of the provisions of this Section shall
11 be void at issue and any movement made thereunder shall not
12 be authorized under the terms of the void permit. In any
13 prosecution for a violation of this Chapter when the
14 authorization of an excess size or weight permit is at issue,
15 it is the burden of the defendant to establish that the
16 permit was valid because the load to be moved could not
17 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or was otherwise
18 nondivisible.
19 (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
20 whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
21 limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is
22 an authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of
23 Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit
24 number issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3)
25 specifically describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles
26 and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles or
27 vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided
28 in Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois
29 Department of Transportation's (IDT) registration number or
30 classification need be given; (4) state the routing requested
31 including the points of origin and destination, and may
32 identify and include a request for routing to the nearest
33 certified scale in accordance with the Department's rules and
34 regulations, provided the applicant has approval to travel on
HB2786 Engrossed -3- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 local roads; and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being
2 transported for hire. No permits for the movement of a
3 vehicle or load for hire shall be issued to any applicant who
4 is required under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law
5 to have a certificate, registration or permit and does not
6 have such certificate, registration or permit.
7 (c) The Department or local authority when not
8 inconsistent with traffic safety is authorized to issue or
9 withhold such permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is
10 issued at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes to
11 be traveled, to limit the number of trips, to establish
12 seasonal or other time limitations within which the vehicles
13 described may be operated on the highways indicated, or
14 otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions of operations of
15 such vehicle or vehicles, when necessary to assure against
16 undue damage to the road foundations, surfaces or structures,
17 and may require such undertaking or other security as may be
18 deemed necessary to compensate for any injury to any roadway
19 or road structure. The Department shall maintain a daily
20 record of each permit issued along with the fee and the
21 stipulated dimensions, weights, conditions and restrictions
22 authorized and this record shall be presumed correct in any
23 case of questions or dispute. The Department shall install an
24 automatic device for recording applications received and
25 permits issued by telephone. In making application by
26 telephone, the Department and applicant waive all objections
27 to the recording of the conversation.
28 (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing
29 from any local authority, issue an annual permit authorizing
30 the local authority to move oversize highway construction,
31 transportation, utility and maintenance equipment over roads
32 under the jurisdiction of the Department. The permit shall be
33 applicable only to equipment and vehicles owned by or
34 registered in the name of the local authority, and no fee
HB2786 Engrossed -4- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 shall be charged for the issuance of such permits.
2 (e) As an exception to paragraph (a) of this Section,
3 the Department and local authorities, with respect to
4 highways under their respective jurisdictions, in their
5 discretion and upon application in writing may issue a
6 special permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing
7 the applicant to move loads of sweet corn, soybeans, corn,
8 wheat, milo, other small grains and ensilage during the
9 harvest season only on a 2 axle single vehicle registered by
10 the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 35%
11 above those provided in Section 15-111. Permits may be issued
12 for a period not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a
13 distance not to exceed 25 miles from a field to a specified
14 processing plant over any highway except the National System
15 of Interstate and Defense Highways. All such vehicles shall
16 be operated in the daytime except when weather or crop
17 conditions require emergency operation at night, but with
18 respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with load
19 shall be equipped with flashing amber lights as specified
20 under Section 12-215. Upon a declaration by the Governor that
21 an emergency harvest situation exists, a special permit
22 issued by the Department under this Section shall not be
23 required from September 1 through December 31 during harvest
24 season emergencies, provided that the weight does not exceed
25 20% above the limits provided in Section 15-111. All other
26 restrictions that apply to permits issued under this Section
27 shall apply during the declared time period. With respect to
28 highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the
29 local authorities may, at their discretion, waive special
30 permit requirements during harvest season emergencies. This
31 permit exemption shall apply to all vehicles eligible to
32 obtain permits under this Section, including commercial
33 vehicles in use during the declared time period.
34 (f) The form and content of the permit shall be
HB2786 Engrossed -5- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 determined by the Department with respect to highways under
2 its jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to
3 highways under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in
4 written form and carried in the vehicle or combination of
5 vehicles to which it refers and shall be open to inspection
6 by any police officer or authorized agent of any authority
7 granting the permit and no person shall violate any of the
8 terms or conditions of such special permit. Violation of the
9 terms and conditions of the permit shall not be deemed a
10 revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found
11 to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to
12 be operating without a permit. Any off route vehicle and
13 load shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as
14 necessary, to authorize the movement back onto the original
15 permit routing. No rule or regulation, nor anything herein
16 shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or
17 authorized agent of any authority granting the permit to
18 remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless
19 the permittee is charged with a fraudulent permit violation
20 as provided in paragraph (i). However, upon arrest for an
21 offense of violation of permit, operating without a permit
22 when the vehicle is off route, or any size or weight offense
23 under this Chapter when the permittee plans to raise the
24 issuance of the permit as a defense, the permittee, or his
25 agent, must produce the permit at any court hearing
26 concerning the alleged offense.
27 If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
28 certified scale, the permitee, while enroute to the
29 designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the
30 weight provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross
31 weights do not exceed any of the permitted limits by more
32 than the following amounts:
33 Single axle 2000 pounds
34 Tandem axle 3000 pounds
HB2786 Engrossed -6- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 Gross 5000 pounds
2 (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
3 make available to interested persons a policy concerning
4 reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
5 operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
6 those contained in this Section for the movement by special
7 permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
8 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
9 manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
10 All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted
11 in the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
12 traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
13 shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
14 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The
15 requirements of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles
16 shall be the same for all moves of comparable size and
17 weight. When escort vehicles are required, they shall meet
18 the following requirements:
19 (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over
20 and properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
21 (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than
22 12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing
23 amber light mounted on top as specified under Section
24 12-215.
25 The Department shall establish reasonable rules and
26 regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance
27 for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under The
28 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
29 required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
30 and regulations of the Department.
31 (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
32 provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
33 provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
34 null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
HB2786 Engrossed -7- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight
2 or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the
3 permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
4 mere rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the
5 permit, but are also the sole extent of the authorization
6 granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be
7 off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
8 movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a
9 permit. Any off route movement shall be subject to the size
10 and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of this
11 Chapter, as determined by the type or class highway upon
12 which the vehicle and load are being operated.
13 (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made
14 under a fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the
15 person, firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted,
16 the driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who
17 issued such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of
18 fraud and either one or all persons may be prosecuted for
19 such violation. Any person, firm, or corporation committing
20 such violation shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the
21 Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm or
22 corporation convicted of such violation for a period of one
23 year after the date of conviction. Penalties for violations
24 of this Section shall be in addition to any penalties imposed
25 for violation of other Sections of this Act.
26 (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
27 violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
28 the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
29 such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
30 both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated
31 in this subsection (j). Any person, firm or corporation
32 convicted of such violation shall be guilty of a petty
33 offense and shall be fined for the first offense, not less
34 than $50 nor more than $200 and, for the second offense by
HB2786 Engrossed -8- LRB093 07549 LCB 07724 b
1 the same person, firm or corporation within a period of one
2 year, not less than $200 nor more than $300 and, for the
3 third offense by the same person, firm or corporation within
4 a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not
5 less than $300 nor more than $500 and the Department shall
6 not issue permits to the person, firm or corporation
7 convicted of a third offense during a period of one year
8 after the date of conviction for such third offense.
9 (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads
10 under permits for excess width or length issued by local
11 authorities, such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway
12 for a distance not to exceed one-half mile without a permit
13 for the purpose of crossing the State highway.
14 (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
15 the Department, with respect to highways under its
16 jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
17 under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize
18 the movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
19 requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible
20 for a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity
21 that the vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary
22 delay.
23 For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
24 necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
25 livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
26 in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
27 (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
28 addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
29 Section of this Code.
30 (n) The Department with respect to highways under its
31 jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
32 under their jurisdiction, in their discretion and upon
33 application in writing, may issue a special permit for
34 continuous limited operation, authorizing the applicant to
