1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
2 Sections 15-301, 15-307, and 18b-105.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
6 changing Sections 15-301, 15-307, and 18b-105 as follows:
7 (625 ILCS 5/15-301) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-301)
8 Sec. 15-301. Permits for excess size and weight.
9 (a) The Department with respect to highways under its
10 jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
11 under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
12 application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
13 special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
14 vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
15 vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act
16 or otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway
17 under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit and
18 for the maintenance of which the party is responsible.
19 Applications and permits other than those in written or
20 printed form may only be accepted from and issued to the
21 company or individual making the movement. Except for an
22 application to move directly across a highway, it shall be
23 the duty of the applicant to establish in the application
24 that the load to be moved by such vehicle or combination is
25 composed of a single object that cannot reasonably be
26 dismantled or disassembled. More than one object may be
27 carried under permit as long as the carriage of the
28 additional object or objects does not cause the size or
29 weight of the vehicle or load to exceed beyond that required
30 for carriage of the single, indivisible object itself. For
31 the purpose of over length movements, more than one object
SB818 Enrolled -2- LRB9001363NTsb
1 may be carried side by side as long as the height, width, and
2 weight laws are not exceeded and the cause for the over
3 length is not due to multiple objects. For the purpose of
4 over height movements, more than one object may be carried as
5 long as the cause for the over height is not due to multiple
6 objects and the length, width, and weight laws are not
7 exceeded. For the purpose of an over width movement, more
8 than one object may be carried as long as the cause for the
9 over width is not due to multiple objects and length, height,
10 and weight laws are not exceeded. No state or local agency
11 shall authorize the issuance of excess size or weight permits
12 for vehicles and loads that are divisible and that can be
13 carried, when divided, within the existing size or weight
14 maximums specified in this Chapter. Any excess size or
15 weight permit issued in violation of the provisions of this
16 Section shall be void at issue and any movement made
17 thereunder shall not be authorized under the terms of the
18 void permit. In any prosecution for a violation of this
19 Chapter when the authorization of an excess size or weight
20 permit is at issue, it is the burden of the defendant to
21 establish that the permit was valid because the load to be
22 moved could not reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or
23 was otherwise indivisible.
24 (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
25 whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
26 limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is
27 an authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of
28 Property Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit
29 number issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3)
30 specifically describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles
31 and load to be operated or moved except that for vehicles or
32 vehicle combinations registered by the Department as provided
33 in Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois
34 Department of Transportation's (IDT) registration number or
SB818 Enrolled -3- LRB9001363NTsb
1 classification need be given; (4) state the routing requested
2 including the points of origin and destination, and may
3 identify and include a request for routing to the nearest
4 certified scale in accordance with the Department's rules and
5 regulations, provided the applicant has approval to travel on
6 local roads; and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being
7 transported for hire. No permits for the movement of a
8 vehicle or load for hire shall be issued to any applicant who
9 is required under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law
10 to have a certificate, registration or permit and does not
11 have such certificate, registration or permit.
12 (c) The Department or local authority when not
13 inconsistent with traffic safety is authorized to issue or
14 withhold such permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is
15 issued at its discretion to prescribe the route or routes to
16 be traveled, to limit the number of trips, to establish
17 seasonal or other time limitations within which the vehicles
18 described may be operated on the highways indicated, or
19 otherwise to limit or prescribe conditions of operations of
20 such vehicle or vehicles, when necessary to assure against
21 undue damage to the road foundations, surfaces or structures,
22 and may require such undertaking or other security as may be
23 deemed necessary to compensate for any injury to any roadway
24 or road structure. The Department shall maintain a daily
25 record of each permit issued along with the fee and the
26 stipulated dimensions, weights, conditions and restrictions
27 authorized and this record shall be presumed correct in any
28 case of questions or dispute. The Department shall install an
29 automatic device for recording applications received and
30 permits issued by telephone. In making application by
31 telephone, the Department and applicant waive all objections
32 to the recording of the conversation.
33 (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing
34 from any local authority, issue an annual a semi-annual
SB818 Enrolled -4- LRB9001363NTsb
1 permit authorizing the local authority to move oversize
2 highway construction, transportation, utility and maintenance
3 equipment over roads under the jurisdiction of the
4 Department. The permit shall be applicable only to equipment
5 and vehicles owned by or registered in the name of the local
6 authority, and no fee shall be charged for the issuance of
7 such permits.
8 (e) As an exception to paragraph (a) of this Section,
9 the Department and local authorities, with respect to
10 highways under their respective jurisdictions, in their
11 discretion and upon application in writing may issue a
12 special permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing
13 the applicant to move loads of sweet corn, soybeans, corn,
14 wheat, milo, other small grains and ensilage during the
15 harvest season only on a 2 axle single vehicle registered by
16 the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 35%
17 above those provided in Section 15-111. Permits may be issued
18 for a period not to exceed 40 days and moves may be made of a
19 distance not to exceed 25 miles from a field to a specified
20 processing plant over any highway except the National System
21 of Interstate and Defense Highways. All such vehicles shall
22 be operated in the daytime except when weather or crop
23 conditions require emergency operation at night, but with
24 respect to such night operation, every such vehicle with load
25 shall be equipped with flashing amber lights as specified
26 under Section 12-215. Upon a declaration by the Governor that
27 an emergency harvest situation exists, a special permit
28 issued by the Department under this Section shall not be
29 required from September 1 through December 31 during harvest
30 season emergencies, provided that the weight does not exceed
31 20% above the limits provided in Section 15-111. All other
32 restrictions that apply to permits issued under this Section
33 shall apply during the declared time period. With respect to
34 highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the
SB818 Enrolled -5- LRB9001363NTsb
1 local authorities may, at their discretion, waive special
2 permit requirements during harvest season emergencies. This
3 permit exemption shall apply to all vehicles eligible to
4 obtain permits under this Section, including commercial
5 vehicles in use during the declared time period.
6 (f) The form and content of the permit shall be
7 determined by the Department with respect to highways under
8 its jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to
9 highways under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in
10 written form and carried in the vehicle or combination of
11 vehicles to which it refers and shall be open to inspection
12 by any police officer or authorized agent of any authority
13 granting the permit and no person shall violate any of the
14 terms or conditions of such special permit. Violation of the
15 terms and conditions of the permit shall not be deemed a
16 revocation of the permit; however, any vehicle and load found
17 to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to
18 be operating without a permit. Any off route vehicle and
19 load shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as
20 necessary, to authorize the movement back onto the original
21 permit routing. No rule or regulation, nor anything herein
22 shall be construed to authorize any police officer, court, or
23 authorized agent of any authority granting the permit to
24 remove the permit from the possession of the permittee unless
25 the permittee is charged with a fraudulent permit violation
26 as provided in paragraph (i). However, upon arrest for an
27 offense of violation of permit, operating without a permit
28 when the vehicle is off route, or any size or weight offense
29 under this Chapter when the permittee plans to raise the
30 issuance of the permit as a defense, the permittee, or his
31 agent, must produce the permit at any court hearing
32 concerning the alleged offense.
33 If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
34 certified scale, the permitee, while enroute to the
SB818 Enrolled -6- LRB9001363NTsb
1 designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the
2 weight provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross
3 weights do not exceed any of the permitted limits by more
4 than the following amounts:
5 Single axle 2000 pounds
6 Tandem axle 3000 pounds
7 Gross 5000 pounds
8 (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
9 make available to interested persons a policy concerning
10 reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
11 operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
12 those contained in this Section for the movement by special
13 permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
14 reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
15 manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
16 All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted
17 in the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
18 traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
19 shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
20 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The
21 requirements of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles
22 shall be the same for all moves of comparable size and
23 weight. When escort vehicles are required, they shall meet
24 the following requirements:
25 (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over
26 and properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
27 (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than
28 12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or flashing
29 amber light mounted on top as specified under Section
30 12-215.
31 The Department shall establish reasonable rules and
32 regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance
33 for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under The
34 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
SB818 Enrolled -7- LRB9001363NTsb
1 required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
2 and regulations of the Department.
3 (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
4 provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
5 provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
6 null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
7 violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight
8 or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the
9 permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
10 mere rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the
11 permit, but are also the sole extent of the authorization
12 granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be
13 off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
14 movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a
15 permit. Any off route movement shall be subject to the size
16 and weight maximums, under the applicable provisions of this
17 Chapter, as determined by the type or class highway upon
18 which the vehicle and load are being operated.
19 (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made
20 under a fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the
21 person, firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted,
22 the driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who
23 issued such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of
24 fraud and either one or all persons may be prosecuted for
25 such violation. Any person, firm, or corporation committing
26 such violation shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the
27 Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm or
28 corporation convicted of such violation for a period of one
29 year after the date of conviction. Penalties for violations
30 of this Section shall be in addition to any penalties imposed
31 for violation of other Sections of this Act.
32 (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
33 violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
34 the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
SB818 Enrolled -8- LRB9001363NTsb
1 such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
2 both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated
3 in this subsection (j). Any person, firm or corporation
4 convicted of such violation shall be guilty of a petty
5 offense and shall be fined for the first offense, not less
6 than $50 nor more than $200 and, for the second offense by
7 the same person, firm or corporation within a period of one
8 year, not less than $200 nor more than $300 and, for the
9 third offense by the same person, firm or corporation within
10 a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not
11 less than $300 nor more than $500 and the Department shall
12 not issue permits to the person, firm or corporation
13 convicted of a third offense during a period of one year
14 after the date of conviction for such third offense.
15 (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads
16 under permits for excess width or length issued by local
17 authorities, such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway
18 for a distance not to exceed one-half mile without a permit
19 for the purpose of crossing the State highway.
20 (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
21 the Department, with respect to highways under its
22 jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
23 under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize
24 the movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
25 requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible
26 for a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity
27 that the vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary
28 delay.
29 For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
30 necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
31 livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
32 in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
33 (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
34 addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
SB818 Enrolled -9- LRB9001363NTsb
1 Section of this Code.
