HB 1181

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Renames a "motorized pedalcycle" as a "moped" throughout the Illinois Vehicle Code and 2 Sections of the Cycle Rider Safety Training Act. Redefines "moped" as a motor-driven cycle, with or without optional power derived from manually operated pedals, whose speed attainable in one mile is at least 20 mph but not greater than 30 mph, and is equipped with a motor that produces 2 brake horsepower or less. (rather than a motor-driven cycle whose speed attainable in one mile is 30 mph or less, which is equipped with a motor that produces 2 brake horsepower or less). Provides that the Secretary may provide an expedited process for the issuance of vehicle titles. Provides that expedited title applications must be delivered to the Secretary of State's Vehicle Services Department in Springfield and provides time requirements for processing those applications. Provides that the cost for expedited title services is $30 and all fees collected by the Secretary of State for expedited services will be deposited into the Motor Vehicle License Plate Fund. Provides that the registration fee paid by any vehicle owner who has been approved for benefits under the Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act, or who has claimed and received a grant under that Act, or who is the spouse of such a person shall be $24 instead of the fee otherwise provided for specified types of vehicles. Deletes outdated language referring to senior citizen vehicle registration fees.
