Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Highway Code. Requires the Department of Transportation to name a highway under its jurisdiction if one chamber of the General Assembly passes a resolution directing the Department to do so.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Highway Code by adding a new section that requires the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to name a highway if one chamber of the state legislature (either the Illinois House of Representatives or the Senate) passes a resolution directing IDOT to do so. The resolution must pass by a majority vote of the elected members of that particular chamber. This means that even if only the House or only the Senate approves a resolution to name a specific highway, IDOT would be obligated to comply with the naming request. The bill provides a new mechanism for the state legislature to have direct input in naming highways under the department's jurisdiction, potentially allowing for commemorative or honorary highway names.
