Bill > SB3090

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to increase penalties for aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer, which is defined as a driver who flees or attempts to evade a police officer after being signaled to stop, especially if the flight involves excessive speed, property damage, or traffic device violations. Specifically, the bill introduces new penalties under a new subsection (b-5) that classify the offense as a Class 3 felony if the fleeing driver causes bodily injury to a bystander or member of the public, a Class 2 felony if the fleeing driver causes bodily injury to the pursuing peace officer, and a Class 1 felony if the fleeing driver causes great bodily injury or disablement to the pursuing peace officer, with Class 1 felonies carrying the most severe penalties.
