Bill > HB5018

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to redefine the term "street" to specifically mean any highway that is part of the municipal street system as outlined in Section 2-104 of the Illinois Highway Code, replacing the previous broader definition that encompassed any publicly maintained roadway open to vehicular travel. The Illinois Highway Code is a set of laws governing the construction, maintenance, and operation of highways within the state, and municipal street systems refer to the roads within cities and towns that are under their jurisdiction. This change clarifies which roads are considered "streets" under state law, potentially impacting regulations and responsibilities related to these roadways. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
