Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that if a person who is convicted of violating a speed restriction is found to have driven a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour, the court shall order that the person have installed an intelligent speed assistance device in any motor vehicle owned or operated by the person for at least 12 months or for the duration of the license suspension or revocation, whichever is longer. Requires the person to provide proof of installation. Requires the person to request permission to remove the intelligent speed assistance device at the end of the mandated period of use. Provides that the cost of installing and maintaining an intelligent speed assistance device shall be incurred by the person subject to the requirement unless the court or the Secretary of State determines that the person is financially unable to afford the cost, in which case the cost may be waived. Requires the Secretary to create a list of approved intelligent speed assistance devices and a list of service providers that are qualified to install, service, inspect, and remove an approved intelligent speed assistance device. Prohibits a person from tampering with or circumventing an otherwise operable intelligent speed assistance device. Provides that violating the provisions, or assisting another person to violate the provisions, is a Class A misdemeanor. Requires the Secretary to submit a report every 24 months to the Governor and the General Assembly with information about the intelligent speed assistance device mandates. Creates the Indigent Intelligent Speed Assistance Device Fund. Sets forth exemptions for a person who is required to use an intelligent speed assistance device and must drive an employer-owned vehicle in the course of the person's employment duties. Makes a conforming change in the State Finance Act.
AI Summary
This bill mandates the installation of an "intelligent speed assistance device" (ISAD), which is a device that limits a vehicle's speed to no more than 5 miles per hour over the posted limit, with slight allowances for traffic conditions, in any vehicle owned or operated by individuals convicted of driving over 100 miles per hour. This requirement will last for at least 12 months or the duration of any license suspension or revocation, whichever is longer, and the individual must prove installation and request permission to remove the device afterward, potentially requiring additional driving tests. The cost of the ISAD is the individual's responsibility, though waivers are possible for those unable to afford it, and the Secretary of State will maintain lists of approved devices and qualified service providers. Tampering with or circumventing an ISAD is a Class A misdemeanor, and the Secretary of State will report on ISAD mandates every 24 months. A special fund, the "Indigent Intelligent Speed Assistance Device Fund," is created to help cover costs for financially unable individuals, and exemptions are provided for those who must drive employer-owned vehicles for work, with specific limitations on the use of this exemption.
