What this means for you
  • Small Business: This may impact small farming operations by providing clearer guidelines for using heavier agricultural vehicles.

Summary

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Changes the definition of "implement of husbandry" to exclude any farm wagon, wagon trailer, or similar vehicle having a gross weight of more than 80,000 (rather than 36,000) pounds. Effective immediately.
