      625 ILCS 5/15-301         from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-301
      625 ILCS 5/15-306         from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-306
      625 ILCS 5/15-307         from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-307
          Amends the Illinois  Vehicle  Code.     Deletes  language
      providing  that  more  than one object may be carried under a
      permit for excess size and weight as long as the carriage  of
      the  additional  object or objects does not cause the size or
      weight of the vehicle or load to exceed beyond that  required
      for carriage of a single, nondivisible object.  In provisions
      concerning     fees    for    overweight-axle    loads    and
      overweight-gross loads, removes the requirement  that  single
      trip permits only shall be issued.  Effective immediately.

HB3292 Engrossed                              LRB9007988WHmgA
 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
 2    Sections 15-301, 15-306, and 15-307.
 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.   The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is amended by
 6    changing Sections 15-301, 15-306, and 15-307 as follows:
 7        (625 ILCS 5/15-301) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-301)
 8        Sec. 15-301.  Permits for excess size and weight.
 9        (a)  The Department with respect to  highways  under  its
10    jurisdiction  and  local authorities with respect to highways
11    under their  jurisdiction  may,  in  their  discretion,  upon
12    application  and  good  cause  being  shown therefor, issue a
13    special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
14    vehicle or combination of vehicles of a  size  or  weight  of
15    vehicle  or  load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act
16    or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway
17    under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit  and
18    for  the  maintenance  of  which  the  party  is responsible.
19    Applications and permits  other  than  those  in  written  or
20    printed  form  may  only  be  accepted from and issued to the
21    company or individual making  the  movement.  Except  for  an
22    application  to  move  directly across a highway, it shall be
23    the duty of the applicant to  establish  in  the  application
24    that  the  load to be moved by such vehicle or combination is
25    composed  of  a  single  nondivisible  object   that   cannot
26    reasonably  be  dismantled  or  disassembled.  More  than one
27    object may be carried under permit as long as the carriage of
28    the additional object or objects does not cause the  size  or
29    weight  of the vehicle or load to exceed beyond that required
30    for carriage of the single, nondivisible object itself.   For
31    the  purpose  of  over length movements, more than one object
HB3292 Engrossed            -2-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    may be carried side by side as long as the height, width, and
 2    weight laws are not exceeded  and  the  cause  for  the  over
 3    length  is  not  due  to multiple objects. For the purpose of
 4    over height movements, more than one object may be carried as
 5    long as the cause for the over height is not due to  multiple
 6    objects  and  the  length,  width,  and  weight  laws are not
 7    exceeded.  For the purpose of an over  width  movement,  more
 8    than  one  object may be carried as long as the cause for the
 9    over width is not due to multiple objects and length, height,
10    and weight laws are not exceeded.  No state or  local  agency
11    shall authorize the issuance of excess size or weight permits
12    for  vehicles  and  loads  that are divisible and that can be
13    carried, when divided, within the  existing  size  or  weight
14    maximums  specified  in  this  Chapter.   Any  excess size or
15    weight permit issued in violation of the provisions  of  this
16    Section  shall  be  void  at  issue  and  any  movement  made
17    thereunder  shall  not  be  authorized under the terms of the
18    void permit.  In any prosecution  for  a  violation  of  this
19    Chapter  when  the  authorization of an excess size or weight
20    permit is at issue, it is the  burden  of  the  defendant  to
21    establish  that  the  permit was valid because the load to be
22    moved could not reasonably be dismantled or disassembled,  or
23    was otherwise nondivisible.
24        (b)  The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
25    whether  such  permit  is  requested for a single trip or for
26    limited continuous operation; (2) state if the  applicant  is
27    an  authorized  carrier  under  the Illinois Motor Carrier of
28    Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or  permit
29    number  issued  by  the  Illinois  Commerce  Commission;  (3)
30    specifically  describe  and  identify the vehicle or vehicles
31    and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles  or
32    vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided
33    in   Section  15-319  of  this  Chapter,  only  the  Illinois
34    Department of Transportation's (IDT) registration  number  or
HB3292 Engrossed            -3-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    classification need be given; (4) state the routing requested
 2    including  the  points  of  origin  and  destination, and may
 3    identify and include a request for  routing  to  the  nearest
 4    certified scale in accordance with the Department's rules and
 5    regulations, provided the applicant has approval to travel on
 6    local roads; and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being
 7    transported  for  hire.  No  permits  for  the  movement of a
 8    vehicle or load for hire shall be issued to any applicant who
 9    is required under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property  Law
10    to  have  a  certificate, registration or permit and does not
11    have such certificate, registration or permit.
12        (c)  The  Department  or   local   authority   when   not
13    inconsistent  with  traffic  safety is authorized to issue or
14    withhold such permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is
15    issued at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes  to
16    be  traveled,  to  limit  the  number  of trips, to establish
17    seasonal or other time limitations within which the  vehicles
18    described  may  be  operated  on  the  highways indicated, or
19    otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions of  operations  of
20    such  vehicle  or  vehicles, when necessary to assure against
21    undue damage to the road foundations, surfaces or structures,
22    and may require such undertaking or other security as may  be
23    deemed  necessary to compensate for any injury to any roadway
24    or road structure. The  Department  shall  maintain  a  daily
25    record  of  each  permit  issued  along  with the fee and the
26    stipulated dimensions, weights, conditions  and  restrictions
27    authorized  and  this record shall be presumed correct in any
28    case of questions or dispute. The Department shall install an
29    automatic device  for  recording  applications  received  and
30    permits   issued  by  telephone.  In  making  application  by
31    telephone, the Department and applicant waive all  objections
32    to the recording of the conversation.
33        (d)  The  Department  shall,  upon application in writing
34    from any local authority, issue an annual permit  authorizing
HB3292 Engrossed            -4-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    the  local  authority  to move oversize highway construction,
 2    transportation, utility and maintenance equipment over  roads
 3    under the jurisdiction of the Department. The permit shall be
 4    applicable  only  to  equipment  and  vehicles  owned  by  or
 5    registered  in  the  name  of the local authority, and no fee
 6    shall be charged for the issuance of such permits.
 7        (e)  As an exception to paragraph (a)  of  this  Section,
 8    the   Department  and  local  authorities,  with  respect  to
 9    highways  under  their  respective  jurisdictions,  in  their
10    discretion and  upon  application  in  writing  may  issue  a
11    special  permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing
12    the applicant to move loads of sweet  corn,  soybeans,  corn,
13    wheat,  milo,  other  small  grains  and  ensilage during the
14    harvest season only on a 2 axle single vehicle registered  by
15    the  Secretary  of  State  with  axle loads not to exceed 35%
16    above those provided in Section 15-111. Permits may be issued
17    for a period not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a
18    distance not to exceed 25 miles from a field to  a  specified
19    processing  plant over any highway except the National System
20    of Interstate and Defense Highways. All such  vehicles  shall
21    be  operated  in  the  daytime  except  when  weather or crop
22    conditions require emergency operation  at  night,  but  with
23    respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with load
24    shall  be  equipped  with  flashing amber lights as specified
25    under Section 12-215. Upon a declaration by the Governor that
26    an emergency  harvest  situation  exists,  a  special  permit
27    issued  by  the  Department  under  this Section shall not be
28    required from September 1 through December 31 during  harvest
29    season  emergencies, provided that the weight does not exceed
30    20% above the limits provided in Section 15-111.   All  other
31    restrictions  that apply to permits issued under this Section
32    shall apply during the declared time period.  With respect to
33    highways under the jurisdiction  of  local  authorities,  the
34    local  authorities  may,  at  their discretion, waive special
HB3292 Engrossed            -5-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    permit requirements during harvest season emergencies.   This
 2    permit  exemption  shall  apply  to  all vehicles eligible to
 3    obtain  permits  under  this  Section,  including  commercial
 4    vehicles in use during the declared time period.
 5        (f)  The  form  and  content  of  the  permit  shall   be
 6    determined  by  the Department with respect to highways under
 7    its jurisdiction and by local  authorities  with  respect  to
 8    highways  under  their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in
 9    written form and carried in the  vehicle  or  combination  of
10    vehicles  to  which it refers and shall be open to inspection
11    by any police officer or authorized agent  of  any  authority
12    granting  the  permit  and no person shall violate any of the
13    terms or conditions of such special permit. Violation of  the
14    terms  and  conditions  of  the  permit shall not be deemed a
15    revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found
16    to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to
17    be operating without a permit.  Any  off  route  vehicle  and
18    load  shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as
19    necessary, to authorize the movement back onto  the  original
20    permit  routing.  No  rule or regulation, nor anything herein
21    shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or
22    authorized agent of any  authority  granting  the  permit  to
23    remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless
24    the  permittee  is charged with a fraudulent permit violation
25    as provided in paragraph (i). However,  upon  arrest  for  an
26    offense  of  violation  of permit, operating without a permit
27    when the vehicle is off route, or any size or weight  offense
28    under  this  Chapter  when  the  permittee plans to raise the
29    issuance of the permit as a defense, the  permittee,  or  his
30    agent,   must   produce  the  permit  at  any  court  hearing
31    concerning the alleged offense.
32        If the permit designates and  includes  a  routing  to  a
33    certified   scale,   the   permitee,  while  enroute  to  the
34    designated scale, shall be  deemed  in  compliance  with  the
HB3292 Engrossed            -6-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    weight  provisions  of  the permit provided the axle or gross
 2    weights do not exceed any of the  permitted  limits  by  more
 3    than the following amounts:
 4             Single axle               2000 pounds
 5             Tandem axle               3000 pounds
 6             Gross                     5000 pounds
 7        (g)  The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
 8    make  available  to  interested  persons  a policy concerning
 9    reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
10    operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
11    those contained in this Section for the movement  by  special
12    permit  of  vehicles,  combinations,  or  loads  which cannot
13    reasonably   be   dismantled   or   disassembled,   including
14    manufactured and modular home sections and portions  thereof.
15    All  rules,  limitations and conditions or provisions adopted
16    in the policy shall have due regard for  the  safety  of  the
17    traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
18    shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
19    of   the   Illinois   Administrative   Procedure   Act.   The
20    requirements  of  the  policy for flagmen and escort vehicles
21    shall be the same  for  all  moves  of  comparable  size  and
22    weight.  When  escort  vehicles are required, they shall meet
23    the following requirements:
24             (1)  All operators shall be 18 years of age or  over
25        and properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
26             (2)  Vehicles  escorting  oversized  loads more than
27        12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing
28        amber light mounted on top  as  specified  under  Section
29        12-215.
30        The  Department  shall  establish  reasonable  rules  and
31    regulations  regarding  liability insurance or self insurance
32    for vehicles  with  oversized  loads  promulgated  under  The
33    Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
34    required  for escort under circumstances as required by rules
HB3292 Engrossed            -7-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    and regulations of the Department.
 2        (h)  Violation of any rule, limitation  or  condition  or
 3    provision  of  any  permit  issued  in  accordance  with  the
 4    provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
 5    null  and  void  but  the  violator shall be deemed guilty of
 6    violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size,  weight
 7    or  load  limitations  in  excess  of those authorized by the
 8    permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are  not
 9    mere  rules,  limitations,  conditions,  or provisions of the
10    permit, but are also the sole  extent  of  the  authorization
11    granted by the permit.  If a vehicle and load are found to be
12    off  the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
13    movement, the  vehicle  and  load  are  operating  without  a
14    permit.   Any off route movement shall be subject to the size
15    and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of  this
16    Chapter,  as  determined  by  the  type or class highway upon
17    which the vehicle and load are being operated.
18        (i)  Whenever any vehicle is operated  or  movement  made
19    under  a  fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the
20    person, firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted,
21    the driver of such vehicle in  addition  to  the  person  who
22    issued  such  permit  and  any  accessory, shall be guilty of
23    fraud and either one or all persons  may  be  prosecuted  for
24    such  violation.  Any person, firm, or corporation committing
25    such violation shall be guilty of a Class 4  felony  and  the
26    Department  shall  not  issue  permits to the person, firm or
27    corporation convicted of such violation for a period  of  one
28    year  after  the date of conviction. Penalties for violations
29    of this Section shall be in addition to any penalties imposed
30    for violation of other Sections of this Act.
31        (j)  Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
32    violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
33    the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver  of
34    such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
HB3292 Engrossed            -8-               LRB9007988WHmgA
 1    both,  persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated
 2    in this subsection  (j).  Any  person,  firm  or  corporation
 3    convicted  of  such  violation  shall  be  guilty  of a petty
 4    offense and shall be fined for the first  offense,  not  less
 5    than  $50  nor  more than $200 and, for the second offense by
 6    the same person, firm or corporation within a period  of  one
 7    year,  not  less  than  $200  nor more than $300 and, for the
 8    third offense by the same person, firm or corporation  within
 9    a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not
10    less  than  $300  nor more than $500 and the Department shall
11    not  issue  permits  to  the  person,  firm  or   corporation
12    convicted  of  a  third  offense  during a period of one year
13    after the date of conviction for such third offense.
14        (k)  Whenever any vehicle  is  operated  on  local  roads
15    under  permits  for  excess  width  or length issued by local
16    authorities, such vehicle may be moved upon a  State  highway
17    for  a  distance not to exceed one-half mile without a permit
18    for the purpose of crossing the State highway.
19        (l)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
20    the  Department,  with  respect   to   highways   under   its
21    jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
22    under  their  jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize
23    the movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or  weight
24    requirement,  or  both, that would not ordinarily be eligible
25    for a permit, when there is a showing  of  extreme  necessity
26    that the vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary
27    delay.
28        For  the  purpose  of this subsection, showing of extreme
29    necessity shall be limited to the  following:   shipments  of
30    livestock,  hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
31    in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
32        (m)  Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
33    addition to any penalties imposed  for  violating  any  other
34    Section of this Code.
