Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Highway Code. Provides that it is the public policy of the State that Department of Transportation projects must accommodate the needs of all highway users, including travelers on roadways by motor vehicle, foot, bicycle, or wheel chair. Provides that the Department shall provide periodic reports to the Governor and the General Assembly regarding the accommodation of these projects to the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the original bill, with changes and additions. Provides that the policy applies only to highways under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation. Provides that the policy does not apply to pavement resurfacing projects that are in progress on January 1, 2006 and that do not widen the existing roadway and do not provide stabilized shoulders, unless specified circumstances exist. Provides that the policy becomes effective for planning and training purposes only on July 1, 2006. Provides that the policy becomes effective for construction projects on July 1, 2007. Delays from March 1, 2006 to March 1, 2007 the date on which the Department shall provide the Governor and the General Assembly its report regarding these projects and its transition plan for specified policy and implementation changes. Deletes the requirement of additional periodic reports. Provides that the Department shall utilize the expertise of pedestrian and bicycle safety experts in preparing its report and transition plan.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Re-inserts the provisions of the amended bill, with changes. Provides that the policy does not apply to any projects that do not widen the existing roadway and do not provide stabilized shoulders (rather than not applying only to those projects of that type that are in progress on January 1, 2006). Deletes language providing that the Department's report shall compare these projects to the best practices of other states.

 Fiscal Note (S-AM 3)(Department of Transportation)
