Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Allows a public transit agency to use an electronic rearview monitoring system on commercial motor vehicles owned by the agency as an alternative to the mirror requirements of the Code and the Code of Federal Regulations so long as an exemption to the Code of Federal Regulations granted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration remains in effect.
AI Summary
This bill allows public transit agencies in Illinois to use electronic rearview monitoring systems on their commercial vehicles instead of traditional mirrors, provided they have an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Transportation responsible for safety regulations for commercial motor vehicles. This change amends the Illinois Vehicle Code, specifically Section 12-502, which previously mandated mirrors that provide a 200-foot rear view, and aligns with federal regulations, specifically 49 CFR 393.80, which outlines mirror requirements for commercial vehicles.
