HB 797

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that, if an owner or other person in lawful possession or control of private property has contracted with a third-party vendor to issue permission to park on the private property through an online service vendor, and a vehicle has been removed from the property associated with the address prior to the time allocated according to the receipt provided to the vehicle owner or authorized user of the vehicle from the online service vendor, then the online service vendor, within 10 business days after presentation of the towing invoice and receipt from the vehicle owner or authorized user, shall remit to the vehicle owner or authorized user of the vehicle all costs charged to the vehicle owner or authorized user of a vehicle for towing costs, invoice fees, and fees for 24 hours of storage, plus $25 for reimbursement to travel to the vehicle location held by the towing company. Provides that if the online service vendor fails to comply, the online service vendor commits an unlawful practice within the meaning of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Makes a corresponding change in the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
