Official description
Amends the O'Hare Driver Safety Act. Allows the Illinois State Police (rather than the Illinois Toll Highway Authority) to issue the violation of stopping or standing within one-half mile of O'Hare International Airport to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle. Provides that the State Police (rather than the Authority) shall procure, and after procurement, have oversight over (rather than install and maintain) automated traffic safety systems along traffic routes within a one-half mile radius of: (1) the eastern entrance to O'Hare International Airport; and (2) the intersection of Interstate 90 and Interstate 294. Provides that the Authority and the Department of Transportation shall allow the installation of automated traffic safety systems upon light poles under their jurisdiction. Requires the State Police (rather than the Authority) to issue a written notice of the violation to the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged violator. Requires the State Police (rather than the Authority) to adopt rules necessary to implement and administer the Act. Allows the State Police to procure a single contract or multiple contracts to implement the Act. Makes other changes.
