|
| 1 | | because of its position

provision of a local ordinance is likely, | 9 | | upon release, to commit a
subsequent violation of Section | 10 | | 11-501, or a similar provision of a local

When a vehicle has been towed or removed pursuant | 13 | | to this Section,

compliance | 8 | | with this Section and Sections 4-201 and 4-202
of this Code, or | 9 | | at the request of the vehicle owner or operator,
shall
be | 10 | | subject to a possessor lien for services
pursuant to the Labor | 11 | | and Storage Lien (Small Amount) Act. The provisions of Section | 12 | | 1 of that Act relating to notice
and implied consent shall be | 13 | | deemed satisfied by compliance with Section
18a-302 and | 14 | | subsection (6) of Section 18a-300. In no event shall such lien
| 15 | | be greater than the rate or rates established in accordance | 16 | | with subsection

| 21 | | (4) Any personal property belonging to the vehicle owner in | 22 | | a vehicle subject to a lien under this

cards, or checks or | 2 | | checkbooks; any wallet, purse, or other property
containing any | 3 | | operator's license or other identifying documents or | 4 | | materials,
cash, credit cards, checks, or checkbooks; and any | 5 | | personal property belonging to a person other than the vehicle | 6 | | owner if that person provides adequate proof that the personal | 7 | | property belongs to that person. The spouse, child, mother, | 8 | | father, brother, or sister of the vehicle owner may claim | 9 | | personal property excepted under this paragraph (4) if the | 10 | | person claiming the personal property provides the commercial | 11 | | vehicle relocator or towing service with the authorization of | 12 | | the vehicle owner. | 13 | | (5) This paragraph (5) applies only in the case of a | 14 | | vehicle that is towed as a result of being involved in an | 15 | | accident. In addition to the personal property excepted under | 16 | | paragraph (4), all other personal property in a vehicle subject | 17 | | to a lien under this subsection (g) is exempt from that lien | 18 | | and may be claimed by the vehicle owner if the vehicle owner | 19 | | provides the commercial vehicle relocator or towing service | 20 | | with proof that the vehicle owner has an insurance policy | 21 | | covering towing and storage fees. The spouse, child, mother, | 22 | | father, brother, or sister of the vehicle owner may claim | 23 | | personal property in a vehicle subject to a lien under this | 24 | | subsection (g) if the person claiming the personal property | 25 | | provides the commercial vehicle relocator or towing service | 26 | | with the authorization of the vehicle owner and proof that the |

|
| 1 | | vehicle owner has an insurance policy covering towing and | 2 | | storage fees. The regulation of liens on personal property and | 3 | | exceptions to those liens in the case of vehicles towed as a | 4 | | result of being involved in an accident are
exclusive powers | 5 | | and functions of the State. A home
rule unit may not regulate | 6 | | liens on personal property and exceptions to those liens in the | 7 | | case of vehicles towed as a result of being involved in an | 8 | | accident. This paragraph (5) is a denial and
limitation of home | 9 | | rule powers and functions under
subsection (h) of Section 6 of | 10 | | Article VII of the
Illinois Constitution. | 11 | | (6) No lien under this subsection (g) shall:
exceed $2,000 | 12 | | in its total amount; or
be increased or altered to reflect any | 13 | | charge for services or
materials rendered in addition to those | 14 | | authorized by this Act.
| 15 | | (h) Whenever a peace officer issues a citation to a driver | 16 | | for a violation of subsection (a) of Section 11-506 of this | 17 | | Code, the arresting officer may have the vehicle which the | 18 | | person was operating at the time of the arrest impounded for a | 19 | | period of 5 days after the time of arrest.
An impounding agency | 20 | | shall release a motor vehicle impounded under this subsection | 21 | | (h) to the registered owner of the vehicle under any of the | 22 | | following circumstances: | 23 | | (1) If the vehicle is a stolen vehicle; or | 24 | | (2) If the person ticketed for a violation of | 25 | | subsection (a) of Section 11-506 of this Code was not | 26 | | authorized by the registered owner of the vehicle to |
| | | SB1441 Enrolled | - 13 - | LRB099 07079 RJF 27163 b |
|
| 1 | | operate the vehicle at the time of the violation; or | 2 | | (3) If the registered owner of the vehicle was neither | 3 | | the driver nor a passenger in the vehicle at the time of | 4 | | the violation or was unaware that the driver was using the | 5 | | vehicle to engage in street racing; or | 6 | | (4) If the legal owner or registered owner of the | 7 | | vehicle is a rental car agency; or | 8 | | (5) If, prior to the expiration of the impoundment | 9 | | period specified above, the citation is dismissed or the | 10 | | defendant is found not guilty of the offense.
| 11 | | (i) Except for vehicles exempted under subsection (b) of | 12 | | Section 7-601 of this Code, whenever a law enforcement officer | 13 | | issues a citation to a driver for a violation of Section 3-707 | 14 | | of this Code, and the driver has a prior conviction for a | 15 | | violation of Section 3-707 of this Code in the past 12 months, | 16 | | the arresting officer shall authorize the removal and | 17 | | impoundment of the vehicle by a towing service. | 18 | | (Source: P.A. 96-1274, eff. 7-26-10; 96-1506, eff. 1-27-11; | 19 | | 97-779, eff. 7-13-12.)

Tow rotation list. | 22 | | (a) Each law enforcement agency whose duties include the | 23 | | patrol of highways in this State shall maintain a tow rotation | 24 | | list which shall be used by law enforcement officers | 25 | | authorizing the tow of a vehicle within the jurisdiction of the |
| | | SB1441 Enrolled | - 14 - | LRB099 07079 RJF 27163 b |
|
| 1 | | law enforcement agency. To ensure adequate response time, a law | 2 | | enforcement agency may maintain multiple tow rotation lists, | 3 | | with each tow rotation list covering tows authorized in | 4 | | different geographic locations within the jurisdiction of the | 5 | | law enforcement agency. A towing service may be included on | 6 | | more than one tow rotation list. | 7 | | (b) Any towing service operating within the jurisdiction of | 8 | | a law enforcement agency may submit an application in a form | 9 | | and manner prescribed by the law enforcement agency for | 10 | | inclusion on the law enforcement agency's tow rotation list. | 11 | | The towing service does not need to be located within the | 12 | | jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency. To be included on a | 13 | | tow rotation list the towing service must meet the following | 14 | | requirements: | 15 | | (1) possess a license permitting the towing service to | 16 | | operate in every unit of local government in the law | 17 | | enforcement agency's jurisdiction that requires a license | 18 | | for the operation of a towing service; | 19 | | (2) if required by the law enforcement agency for | 20 | | inclusion on that law enforcement agency's tow rotation | 21 | | list, each owner of the towing service and each person | 22 | | operating a vehicle on behalf of the towing service shall | 23 | | submit his or her fingerprints to the Department of State | 24 | | Police in the form and manner prescribed by the Department | 25 | | of State Police.

|
| 1 | | Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. These | 2 | | fingerprints shall be checked against the fingerprint | 3 | | records now and hereafter filed in the Department of State | 4 | | Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation criminal | 5 | | history records databases. The Department of State Police | 6 | | shall charge a fee for conducting the criminal history | 7 | | record check, which shall be deposited in the State Police | 8 | | Services Fund and shall not exceed the actual cost of the | 9 | | State and national criminal history record check. The | 10 | | Department of State Police shall furnish, pursuant to | 11 | | positive identification, all Illinois conviction | 12 | | information to the law enforcement agency maintaining the | 13 | | tow rotation list and shall forward the national criminal | 14 | | history record information to the law enforcement agency | 15 | | maintaining the tow rotation list. A person may not own a | 16 | | towing service or operate a vehicle on behalf of a towing | 17 | | service included on a tow rotation list if that person has | 18 | | been convicted during the 5 years preceding the application | 19 | | of a criminal offense involving one or more of the | 20 | | following: | 21 | | (A) bodily injury or attempt to inflict bodily | 22 | | injury to another person; | 23 | | (B) theft of property or attempted theft of | 24 | | property; or | 25 | | (C) sexual assault or attempted sexual assault of | 26 | | any kind; |
