Summary

Amends the Counties Code. Requires that a county board create a uniform application process for all appointed county positions. Defines "appointed county position" as a position on a board or commission authorized or created by State law or county ordinance or resolution to which the county board, one or more members of the county board, the county board chairperson, or any combination of those persons or entities, has the authority to make the appointment. Provides that, if a county maintains an Internet website, then the county must create and maintain on that website a centralized, searchable database, freely accessible to the public, of information concerning appointed county positions. Sets forth the requirements for the database. Provides that if a county does not maintain an Internet website, then the county must publish the information in a newspaper of general circulation within the county. Limits home rule powers. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 42 updates the Illinois Vehicle Code by clarifying the requirements for obtaining special permits for oversized vehicles. Previously included provisions about a uniform application process for appointed county positions and a centralized database were removed. This change is significant because it narrows the focus of the bill to transportation-related regulations rather than addressing local government appointments, which may streamline the legislative process for urgent vehicle permit issues.

Violation of the terms and conditions of the permit shall not be deemed a revocation of the permit;
however, any vehicle and load found to be off the route prescribed in the permit shall be held to be operating without a permit.
Any off route vehicle and load shall be required to obtain a new permit or permits, as necessary, to authorize the movement back onto the original permit routing.

Any person, firm or corporation convicted of such violation shall be guilty of a petty offense and shall be fined for the first offense, not less than $50 nor more than $200 and, for the second offense by the same person, firm or corporation within a period of one year, not less than $200 nor more than $300 and, for the third offense by the same person, firm or corporation within a period of one year after the date of the first offense, not less than $300 nor more than $500 and the Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm or corporation convicted of a third offense during a period of one year after the date of conviction for such third offense.
