625 ILCS 5/ Illinois Vehicle Code.

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.

Bonds and Insurance.

The Commission may prescribe for brokers such requirements
regarding bonds, insurance, and the terms of coverage thereof, as
the Commission determines are needed to protect carriers,
shippers, consignors, and consignees of freight with respect to which
brokering service is provided.  Unless otherwise provided by the
Commission, such requirements shall be the same as are applicable
to property brokers under the Interstate Commerce Act and
regulations adopted thereunder.

Commission to prescribe dispute resolution procedures.

(1) Within 180 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1995,
