Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(625 ILCS 5/18c-6502) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 18c-6502)

Sec. 18c-6502. Report and investigation of crashes.

(1) Reports.
Every motor carrier of passengers shall report to the
Commission, by the speediest means possible, whether telephone,
telegraph, or otherwise, every crash involving its
equipment which resulted in loss of life to any person.  In
addition to reports required to be filed with the Department of
Transportation, under Article IV of Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 of this
Code, such carrier shall file a written report with the
Commission, in accordance with regulations adopted hereunder,
of any crash which results in injury or loss of life to
any employee, or damage to the person or property of any
member of the public.  The Commission and the Department of
Transportation may adopt, by
reference, such state or federal reporting requirements as
will effectuate the purposes of this Section and promote
uniformity in bus crash reporting.

(2) Investigations.
The Commission and the Department of Transportation may investigate any
bus crash reported to
it or of which it acquires knowledge independent of reports
made by motor carriers of passengers, and shall have the
power to enter such orders and adopt such regulations as will
minimize the risk of future crashes.
