Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that every driver shall report to the Secretary of State any medical condition that is likely to cause loss of consciousness, seizures, or any loss of ability to safely operate a motor vehicle within 10 days of the driver becoming aware of the condition. Includes seizures within the standard of physical disorders characterized by momentary or prolonged lapses of consciousness or control which constitute a limitation to a person's ability to operate a motor vehicle or causes the person to be a driving hazard. Provides that a person commits reckless driving when he or she knowingly drives a vehicle when that person has, within the preceding 36 months, experienced a loss of consciousness or a seizure that would interfere with the ability to safely operate a vehicle. Provides that a person does not commit reckless driving if he or she has been treated by a physician for the loss of consciousness or seizure, and that physician has advised the person that he or she may operate a vehicle. Effective January 1, 2016.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that a person commits reckless driving if he or she knowingly drives a vehicle when that person has, within the preceding 6 months (rather than 36 months), experienced a loss of consciousness or a seizure that would interfere with his or her ability to safely operate a vehicle, unless the person's condition is controlled by medical treatment or medication.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with a change providing that a person commits reckless driving if he or she knowingly drives a vehicle when the person has been diagnosed with a seizure (regardless of whether that person has experienced a seizure within the preceding 6 months) that would impair the ability of the person to safely operate a vehicle and the person has been instructed not to drive a vehicle by a physician.
