HB 5596

Abstract

Amends the Article regarding records required to be kept by dealers, transporters, wreckers, and rebuilders of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Deletes various requirements regarding records that every person licensed under specific provisions of the Code are required to keep. Provides that the record requirements for essential parts apply only to essential parts that are 3 (rather than 6) model years of age or newer. Provides that all entries relating to the disposition of a vehicle or an essential part shall be made no later than the close of business on the seventh calendar day following (rather than at the time of) the disposition. Deletes language requiring every person licensed as a transporter to maintain a record of every vehicle transported by him for 3 years. Deletes language providing that each violation of various provisions regarding recordkeeping constitutes a separate and distinct offense and a separate count may be brought in the same indictment or information for each vehicle or essential party of a vehicle for which a record was not kept. Makes other changes.
