Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 965

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that in cities of over 1,000,000 inhabitants, a governmental agency may establish automated speed enforcement (ASE) systems in designated safety zones. Defines terms. Provides that the municipality may impose liability on a registered owner of a vehicle that violates the applicable law, with exceptions. Provides that notwithstanding any other applicable consequences under the Illinois Vehicle Code, the penalty for and consequence of a traffic violation recorded by an ASE system is a civil fine not to exceed $100 for each violation. Contains provisions governing the expenditure of funds generated by the use of ASE systems. Provides that unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of a violation recorded by an ASE system, the owner of the vehicle will be liable for the civil penalty. Provides that a violation for which a civil penalty is imposed is not a violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record of the owner of the vehicle. Contains provisions concerning notice and administrative hearing procedures related to implementation of the amendatory Act. Provides that recorded images are confidential, with specified exceptions. Provides defenses to ASE system violations. Provides equipment and signage requirements. Provides that a municipality operating an ASE system shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the safety impact of the system and provides procedures for conducting the statistical analysis. Adds severability language. Makes corresponding changes in other Sections of the Vehicle Code. Effective July 1, 2012.

Removes a reference to counties in a subsection allowing ASE systems. Provides additional testing requirements for ASE equipment and specifies that equipment shall be tested once each week (instead of once every 60 days). Modifies the definition of "safety zone". Provides that ASE systems shall be operational and violations shall be recorded only between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. in safety zones based upon schools, and if the safety zone is based upon property owned by a park district, only between one hour before and one hour after the hours the property is open to the public. Provides that no penalty may be imposed for an ASE system violation if the recorded speed of a vehicle is 5 miles per hour or less over the legal speed limit, and that a municipality may send a speed violation warning notice where the violation involves a speed of 5 miles per hour or less above the legal speed limit.
