AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 954

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 954 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing Section 1-164.5 as follows:

(625 ILCS 5/1-164.5)

Sec. 1-164.5. Proof of financial responsibility. Proof of ability to respond in damages for any liability thereafter incurred resulting from the ownership, maintenance, use or operation of a motor vehicle for bodily injury to or death of any person in the amount of $20,000, and subject to this limit for any one person injured or killed, in the amount of $40,000 for bodily injury to or death of 2 or more persons in any one accident, and for damage to property in the amount of $15,000 resulting from any one accident.

In the case of the revocation of a driver's license of any person under Section 6-205 of this Code, "proof of financial responsibility" means proof of ability to respond in damages for any liability thereafter incurred resulting from the ownership, maintenance, use or operation of a motor vehicle for bodily injury or death of any person in the amount of $50,000, and subject to this limit for any one person injured or killed, in the amount of $100,000 for bodily injury to or death of 2 or more persons in any one accident, and for damage to property in the amount of $40,000 resulting from any one accident. This proof in these amounts shall be furnished for each motor vehicle registered by every person required to furnish this proof.
