1 AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2786
2 AMENDMENT NO. . Amend House Bill 2786 by replacing
3 everything after the enacting clause with the following:
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
-2- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 that the load to be moved by such vehicle or combination is
2 composed of a single nondivisible object that cannot
3 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled. For the purpose of
4 over length movements, more than one object may be carried
5 side by side as long as the height, width, and weight laws
6 are not exceeded and the cause for the over length is not due
7 to multiple objects. For the purpose of over height
8 movements, more than one object may be carried as long as the
9 cause for the over height is not due to multiple objects and
10 the length, width, and weight laws are not exceeded. For the
11 purpose of an over width movement, more than one object may
12 be carried as long as the cause for the over width is not due
13 to multiple objects and length, height, and weight laws are
14 not exceeded. No state or local agency shall authorize the
15 issuance of excess size or weight permits for vehicles and
16 loads that are divisible and that can be carried, when
17 divided, within the existing size or weight maximums
18 specified in this Chapter. Any excess size or weight permit
19 issued in violation of the provisions of this Section shall
20 be void at issue and any movement made thereunder shall not
21 be authorized under the terms of the void permit. In any
22 prosecution for a violation of this Chapter when the
23 authorization of an excess size or weight permit is at issue,
24 it is the burden of the defendant to establish that the
25 permit was valid because the load to be moved could not
26 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or was otherwise
27 nondivisible.
28 (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
29 whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
30 limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is
31 an authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of
32 Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit
33 number issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3)
34 specifically describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles
-3- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles or
2 vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided
3 in Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois
4 Department of Transportation's (IDT) registration number or
5 classification need be given; (4) state the routing requested
6 including the points of origin and destination, and may
7 identify and include a request for routing to the nearest
8 certified scale in accordance with the Department's rules and
9 regulations, provided the applicant has approval to travel on
10 local roads; and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being
11 transported for hire. No permits for the movement of a
12 vehicle or load for hire shall be issued to any applicant who
13 is required under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law
14 to have a certificate, registration or permit and does not
15 have such certificate, registration or permit.
16 (c) The Department or local authority when not
17 inconsistent with traffic safety is authorized to issue or
18 withhold such permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is
19 issued at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes to
20 be traveled, to limit the number of trips, to establish
21 seasonal or other time limitations within which the vehicles
22 described may be operated on the highways indicated, or
23 otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions of operations of
24 such vehicle or vehicles, when necessary to assure against
25 undue damage to the road foundations, surfaces or structures,
26 and may require such undertaking or other security as may be
27 deemed necessary to compensate for any injury to any roadway
28 or road structure. The Department shall maintain a daily
29 record of each permit issued along with the fee and the
30 stipulated dimensions, weights, conditions and restrictions
31 authorized and this record shall be presumed correct in any
32 case of questions or dispute. The Department shall install an
33 automatic device for recording applications received and
34 permits issued by telephone. In making application by
-4- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 telephone, the Department and applicant waive all objections
2 to the recording of the conversation.
3 (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing
4 from any local authority, issue an annual permit authorizing
5 the local authority to move oversize highway construction,
6 transportation, utility and maintenance equipment over roads
7 under the jurisdiction of the Department. The permit shall be
8 applicable only to equipment and vehicles owned by or
9 registered in the name of the local authority, and no fee
10 shall be charged for the issuance of such permits.
11 (e) As an exception to paragraph (a) of this Section,
12 the Department and local authorities, with respect to
13 highways under their respective jurisdictions, in their
14 discretion and upon application in writing may issue a
15 special permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing
16 the applicant to move loads of sweet corn, soybeans, corn,
17 wheat, milo, other small grains and ensilage during the
18 harvest season only on a 2 axle single vehicle registered by
19 the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 35%
20 above those provided in Section 15-111. Permits may be issued
21 for a period not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a
22 distance not to exceed 25 miles from a field to a specified
23 processing plant over any highway except the National System
24 of Interstate and Defense Highways. All such vehicles shall
25 be operated in the daytime except when weather or crop
26 conditions require emergency operation at night, but with
27 respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with load
28 shall be equipped with flashing amber lights as specified
29 under Section 12-215. Upon a declaration by the Governor that
30 an emergency harvest situation exists, a special permit
31 issued by the Department under this Section shall not be
32 required from September 1 through December 31 during harvest
33 season emergencies, provided that the weight does not exceed
34 20% above the limits provided in Section 15-111. All other
-5- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 restrictions that apply to permits issued under this Section
2 shall apply during the declared time period. With respect to
3 highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the
4 local authorities may, at their discretion, waive special
5 permit requirements during harvest season emergencies. This
6 permit exemption shall apply to all vehicles eligible to
7 obtain permits under this Section, including commercial
8 vehicles in use during the declared time period.
9 (f) The form and content of the permit shall be
10 determined by the Department with respect to highways under
11 its jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to
12 highways under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in
13 written form and carried in the vehicle or combination of
14 vehicles to which it refers and shall be open to inspection
15 by any police officer or authorized agent of any authority
16 granting the permit and no person shall violate any of the
17 terms or conditions of such special permit. Violation of the
18 terms and conditions of the permit shall not be deemed a
19 revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found
20 to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to
21 be operating without a permit. Any off route vehicle and
22 load shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as
23 necessary, to authorize the movement back onto the original
24 permit routing. No rule or regulation, nor anything herein
25 shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or
26 authorized agent of any authority granting the permit to
27 remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless
28 the permittee is charged with a fraudulent permit violation
29 as provided in paragraph (i). However, upon arrest for an
30 offense of violation of permit, operating without a permit
31 when the vehicle is off route, or any size or weight offense
32 under this Chapter when the permittee plans to raise the
33 issuance of the permit as a defense, the permittee, or his
34 agent, must produce the permit at any court hearing
-6- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 concerning the alleged offense.
2 If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
3 certified scale, the permitee, while enroute to the
4 designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the
5 weight provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross
6 weights do not exceed any of the permitted limits by more
7 than the following amounts:
8 Single axle 2000 pounds
9 Tandem axle 3000 pounds
10 Gross 5000 pounds
11 (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
12 make available to interested persons a policy concerning
13 reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
14 operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
15 those contained in this Section for the movement by special
16 permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
17 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
18 manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
19 All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted
20 in the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
21 traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
22 shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
23 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The
24 requirements of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles
25 shall be the same for all moves of comparable size and
26 weight. When escort vehicles are required, they shall meet
27 the following requirements:
28 (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over
29 and properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
30 (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than
31 12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing
32 amber light mounted on top as specified under Section
33 12-215.
34 The Department shall establish reasonable rules and
-7- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance
2 for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under The
3 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
4 required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
5 and regulations of the Department.
6 (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
7 provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
8 provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
9 null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
10 violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight
11 or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the
12 permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
13 mere rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the
14 permit, but are also the sole extent of the authorization
15 granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be
16 off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
17 movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a
18 permit. Any off route movement shall be subject to the size
19 and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of this
20 Chapter, as determined by the type or class highway upon
21 which the vehicle and load are being operated.
22 (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made
23 under a fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the
24 person, firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted,
25 the driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who
26 issued such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of
27 fraud and either one or all persons may be prosecuted for
28 such violation. Any person, firm, or corporation committing
29 such violation shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the
30 Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm or
31 corporation convicted of such violation for a period of one
32 year after the date of conviction. Penalties for violations
33 of this Section shall be in addition to any penalties imposed
34 for violation of other Sections of this Act.
-8- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
2 violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
3 the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
4 such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
5 both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated
6 in this subsection (j). Any person, firm or corporation
7 convicted of such violation shall be guilty of a petty
8 offense and shall be fined for the first offense, not less
9 than $50 nor more than $200 and, for the second offense by
10 the same person, firm or corporation within a period of one
11 year, not less than $200 nor more than $300 and, for the
12 third offense by the same person, firm or corporation within
13 a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not
14 less than $300 nor more than $500 and the Department shall
15 not issue permits to the person, firm or corporation
16 convicted of a third offense during a period of one year
17 after the date of conviction for such third offense.
18 (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads
19 under permits for excess width or length issued by local
20 authorities, such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway
21 for a distance not to exceed one-half mile without a permit
22 for the purpose of crossing the State highway.
23 (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
24 the Department, with respect to highways under its
25 jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
26 under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize
27 the movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
28 requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible
29 for a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity
30 that the vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary
31 delay.
32 For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
33 necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
34 livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
-9- LRB093 07549 LCB 12474 a
1 in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
2 (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
3 addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
4 Section of this Code.
5 (n) The Department with respect to highways under its
6 jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
7 under their jurisdiction, in their discretion and upon
8 application in writing, may issue a special permit for
9 continuous limited operation, authorizing the applicant to
10 operate a tow-truck that exceeds the weight limits provided
11 for in subsection (d) of Section 15-111, provided:
