Establishes that a person who violates the provisions shall be subject to a $100 fine. Limits the liability of a vehicle lessor if specified conditions are met. Requires the Illinois Toll Highway Authority to install and maintain automated traffic safety systems along traffic routes within a 2-mile radius of O'Hare International Airport. Requires all fine proceeds to be deposited into the Illinois State Police Highway Enforcement Fund. Requires the Authority to adopt rules to implement and administer the Act. Defines terms.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
30 ILCS 105/5.1012 new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the original bill with the following changes: Provides that a person operating a motor vehicle shall not stop or stand the person's vehicle on a shoulder of a highway along traffic routes within a one-half mile radius of: (1) the eastern entrance to O'Hare International Airport; and (2) the intersection of Interstate 90 and Interstate 294 (rather than a 2-mile radius surrounding O'Hare International Airport). Requires the Illinois Toll Highway Authority to install and maintain automated traffic safety systems along traffic routes within a one-half mile radius of: (1) the eastern entrance to O'Hare International Airport; and (2) the intersection of Interstate 90 and Interstate 294 (rather than a 2-mile radius surrounding O'Hare International Airport). Provides that language prohibiting stopping or standing within one-half mile of O'Hare International Airport do not apply if the driver of the vehicle received a Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of the violation for the same offense. Provides that recorded images made by an automated traffic safety system are confidential and shall be made available only (i) to the alleged violator and governmental and law enforcement agencies; or (ii) in response to a lawful subpoena. Provides that a recorded image evidencing a violation of this Act may be admissible in a proceeding resulting from the issuance of a citation. Provides that proceeds from fines shall be deposited into the State Police Law Enforcement Administration Fund (rather than the Illinois State Police Highway Enforcement Fund). Removes provisions creating the Illinois State Police Highway Enforcement Fund as a special fund in the State treasury. Makes other changes.
