6     (55 ILCS 5/5-1092)  (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1092)
7     Sec. 5-1092. Inoperable motor vehicles. A county board may

13 control, and may authorize a law enforcement agency, with

09500SB2005sam001 - 2 - LRB095 15964 HLH 46849 a

1 any motor vehicle that is kept within a building when not in
2 use, to operable historic vehicles over 25 years of age, or to
3 a motor vehicle on the premises of a place of business engaged
4 in the wrecking or junking of motor vehicles.
5     As used in this Section, "inoperable motor vehicle" means
6 any motor vehicle from which, for a period of at least 7 days
7 or any longer period of time fixed by ordinance, the engine,
8 wheels or other parts have been removed, or on which the
9 engine, wheels or other parts have been altered, damaged or
10 otherwise so treated that the vehicle is incapable of being
11 driven under its own motor power. "Inoperable motor vehicle"
12 shall not include a motor vehicle which has been rendered
13 temporarily incapable of being driven under its own motor power

16 "inoperable motor vehicle" also includes any motor vehicle that
17 does not have a current license plate or current license tags
18 attached to it if a current license plate or license tags are
19 required under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
