URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERTIllinois Enthusiasts Defeat Harmful Inoperable Vehicle BillWith the adjournment of the Illinois Legislature, the SAN defeated legislation (H.B. 4256 and H.B. 25) that would have further restricted the ability of vehicle hobbyists to maintain inoperable vehicles on private property. H.B. 4256 threatened to redefine “inoperable motor vehicles” to include vehicles incapable of being driven under their own power for a period of 7 days. Under current law, these vehicles must be undriveable for a period of at least 6 months to be deemed inoperable and thus subject to disposal and fines by a county. H.B. 25 would have effectively required that all inoperable historic vehicles over 25-years of age be stored in a garage or risk a nuisance citation and possible disposal. It would have also removed historic vehicles over 25-years of age from a list of vehicles exempt from county inoperable vehicle ordinances if not kept within a building.
Will leave up the description of the Legislation. We have to be aware of and realize that Patricia Reid Linder (or someone else!) will be back next session to try again!! Let's keep on the alert!! URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERTBackyard Vehicle Restoration Jobs Under Siege Again In IllinoisA bill (H.B. 4256) has been introduced in Illinois by State Representative Patricia Reid Lindner (Dstrct50@aol.com) that would further restrict the ability of Illinois vehicle hobbyists from maintaining inoperable vehicles on private property. H.B. 4256 would redefine “inoperable motor vehicles” to include vehicles incapable of being driven under their own power for a period of 7 days. Under current law, these vehicles must be undriveable for a period of at least 6 months to be deemed inoperable and thus subject to disposal and fines by a county. Last year, Illinois hobbyist help stall a bill (H.B. 25) that would have effectively required that all inoperable historic vehicles over 25-years of age be stored in a garage or risk a nuisance citation and possible county disposal. That bill removed historic vehicles over 25-years of age from a list of vehicles exempt from county inoperable vehicle ordinances if they are not kept within a building. Both H.B. 25 and H.B. 4256 are pending in the Illinois State Legislature for 2006 and will likely be considered by the Local Government Committee. Contact Local Government Committee Members (List Below) Immediately To Request Their Opposition to H.B. 25 and H.B. 4256
