HB 2455

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Defines a "non-highway vehicle" as a motor vehicle not specifically designed to be used on a public highway, including, as defined by the Illinois Vehicle Code: an all-terrain vehicle, a golf cart, a neighborhood vehicle, and an off-highway motorcycle. Provides that the same set of standards that currently apply to the operation of a neighborhood vehicle on a street, road, or highway apply to all non-highway vehicles. Provides that non-highway vehicles are subject to the mandatory insurance provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code when operated on a street, road, or highway. Repeals 2 provisions regarding the operation of all-terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles, and golf carts on streets and removes cross-references to those provisions in the Illinois Vehicle Code and Recreational Trails of Illinois Act.
