Provides that a fee may be imposed for the operation or use of a motor vehicle in the commission of or in the attempt to commit an offense related to domestic battery or the violation of an order of protection. Exempts an official State vehicle and the State employee who is the operator of that vehicle is exempt from any local enforcement action. Allows the Illinois State Police to collect administrative fees from tows. Provides that the driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign is required for safety to stop, the driver shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, in the event there is no crosswalk, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway. Provides that a person commits aggravated operating a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or moped on one wheel when he or she violates provisions of the Code related to special speed limits while passing schools and special speed limits while traveling through a highway construction or maintenance speed zone. Provides that a motorcycle may exhibit a white light emitted by a high intensity discharge lamp or a light of yellow or amber tint. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Limits on Emergency-Scene License Suspensions: benefit, medium. The law narrows one rule allowing the Secretary of State to suspend or revoke licenses after emergency-scene violations. That rule now requires damage to another person's property; injury or death alone no longer triggers it. Other suspension rules still apply. For covered violations causing injury…
- More Options for Motorcycle and Bicycle Riders: benefit, low. Motorcycle and bicycle riders can pass a steady red light after a reasonable wait of at least 120 seconds. This applies when the signal malfunctions or fails to detect the vehicle because of its size or weight. Riders must first stop, yield to oncoming traffic facing green, and follow stop-sign rul…
- More Drivers Face Emergency-Scene Penalties: cost, medium. The law extends emergency-scene penalties to violations of Section 11-907(c), (c-5), and (c-10). Fines range from $250 to $10,000 for a first violation and $750 to $10,000 for later violations. Depending on the offense and resulting property damage, injury, or death, drivers also face misdemeanor o…
- Stiffer Penalties for Dangerous One-Wheel Riding: cost, medium. Riding a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, or moped on one wheel becomes an aggravated offense when combined with specified traffic violations. The listed violations are Sections 11-601(b), 11-601.5, 11-605, and 11-605.1. A first conviction is a petty offense with a minimum $100 fine. A second convic…
- More Vehicle Owners Face Impound Fees: cost, low. Illinois State Police can set procedures and collect administrative fees for qualifying vehicle tows. The agency must adopt rules allowing approved vendors to receive those fees directly. Fees collected under State Police authority go to the State Police Vehicle Fund. Administrative-fee procedures…
- Clearer Stopping Rules and Driver Responsibility: cost, low. When safety requires stopping at a yield sign, drivers must stop at the marked line. Without a line, stop before the near-side crosswalk; without a crosswalk, stop nearest the intersecting road where approaching traffic is visible. After passing a stop or yield sign, an intersection crash or interf…
