HB 6903

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a pedestrian who is under the influence of intoxicating compounds (as well as one who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs), to a degree which renders the person a hazard, may not walk or be upon a highway except on a sidewalk. Provides that a violation is a Class C misdemeanor (rather than a petty offense). Provides that a person who violates the provision is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor if the violation is a proximate cause of an accident resulting in great bodily harm or death to another person.
