Bill > HB3598

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to prohibit an animal-drawn vehicle, farm tractor, implement of husbandry, or special mobile equipment from operating on a public roadway with a corn head attachment. A corn head is a specialized piece of agricultural equipment used for harvesting corn, typically attached to a combine or tractor. The bill modifies Section 12-205.1 of the Vehicle Code, which previously addressed the requirements for slow-moving vehicles and implements of husbandry to display amber signal lamps when operating on highways during times when lights are required. The primary purpose of this legislation appears to be improving road safety by preventing potentially oversized or unwieldy agricultural equipment with corn head attachments from traveling on public roads, which could pose a hazard to other drivers due to their size, width, or limited visibility.
