Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the Department of Transportation may erect and maintain signs prohibiting excessive engine braking noise on interstate highways when multiple residences are immediately adjacent to the highway at a density of 2 per acre or more. Merges a provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code prohibiting a person from operating any motor vehicle in such a manner as to cause or allow to be emitted squealing, screeching or other such noise from the vehicle's tires due to rapid acceleration or excessive speed around corners or other such reason into another provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code prohibiting the driver of a commercial vehicle from operating or actuating any engine braking system that emits excessive noise.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the Department of Transportation may erect and maintain signs prohibiting excessive engine braking noise on interstate highways near weigh stations that are adjacent to residential areas or communities (instead of on interstate highways when multiple residences are immediately adjacent to the highway at a density of 2 per acre or more).

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Deletes reference to:
625 ILCS 5/11-505 rep.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill, as amended, and makes the following changes. Reinstates current law with respect to a provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code prohibiting a person from operating any motor vehicle in such a manner as to cause or allow to be emitted squealing, screeching or other such noise from the vehicle's tires due to rapid acceleration or excessive speed around corners or other such reason. Reorganizes a provision of the introduced bill, as amended, by moving the same language to a different location.
