HAMOS. 625 ILCS 5/11-1502 from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-1502 745 ILCS 10/3-111 new Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a person riding a bicycle is an intended and permitted user of any highway in Illinois except for a highway on which bicycle use has been specifically prohibited by law and the prohibition is indicated by appropriate signage. Amends the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act. Provides that neither a local public entity nor a public employee is liable for any injury to a bicyclist caused by a condition of a bike lane or shoulder designated for bicycle use unless the local public entity or public employee is guilty of willful and wanton misconduct proximately causing the injury. JUDICIAL NOTE (Illinois Courts Administrative Office) There may be an increase in judicial workloads. However, it is not anticipated that HB 4366 would increase the number of judges needed in the State. HOME RULE NOTE (Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) HB 4366 does not contain language indicating a limitation on home rule powers and functions. Therefore, in the opinion of DCCA, the legislation does not pre-empt home rule authority. FISCAL NOTE (Attorney General Office) Fiscal impact is unknown, but there probably would be none.
