SB 3052

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that, if the Governor has declared that an emergency harvest situation exists, a vehicle carrying agricultural products from a field to a grain storage facility during the period September 1 through December 31 may travel on an interstate highway at a speed below the established minimum speed and may exceed otherwise applicable weight limits without a special permit. Provides that the exemptions apply only if the interstate highway provides the shortest available route from the field to the grain storage facility, the vehicle remains in the right lane of the interstate highway, and the distance traveled on any one interstate highway is less than 20 miles. Effective immediately.
