Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 2442

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code and makes a corresponding change in the Labor and Storage Lien (Small Amount) Act. Provides that vehicles that are towed or relocated at the request of the owner or operator (as well as those towed or relocated because they are abandoned, lost, stolen, or unclaimed) are subject to a lien under the Labor and Storage Lien (Small Amount) Act. Provides that the provisions of that Act regarding the maximum amount of the lien do not apply to liens covered by the Vehicle Code provision. Provides that with certain enumerated exceptions, personal property in a vehicle subject to a lien under the Code provision is also subject to that lien. Limits the amounts of liens under the provision. Provides that the Illinois Commerce Commission shall set reasonable rates for the use of a credit card by a person whose vehicle has been towed by a commercial vehicle relocator. Deletes language providing that a commercial vehicle relocator may not charge the owner or operator of a relocated vehicle an additional fee for use of a credit card. Provides that it is a violation of the Code for a commercial vehicle relocator in a county with a population of more than 2,000,000 to fail to make relocated vehicles available to their owners or operators 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 52 weeks per year. Provides for expedited transfer of a vehicle relocator's license under specified conditions, in specified circumstances. Repeals a provision providing that a relocator's license is not transferable. Effective immediately.
