(430 ILCS 30/13) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 700-13)
Sec. 13.
If the Department or such other person or agency as the
Department may designate has reason to believe that an imminent hazard
exists, the Department or its designee shall through the Attorney
General or State's Attorney petition the circuit court for an order
suspending or restricting the transportation of the hazardous material
responsible for such imminent hazard, or for such other order as is
necessary to eliminate or ameliorate such imminent hazard. As used in
this Section, an "imminent hazard" exists if there is substantial
likelihood that death, serious illness, or severe personal injury will
occur prior to the completion of an administrative hearing or other
formal proceeding initiated to abate the risk of such serious harm.
