BILLS * USA
* Several trucking bills put on hold in Illinois
Ill.USA -Land Line Magazine, by Keith Goble -June 18, 2007: -- A bill in the Illinois House that intended to allow some large trucks access on local roads in the state has stalled, the bill would change restrictions on how far trucks may travel off main routes to deliver their loads, fuel up or get rest... Current state law allows certain trucks to travel up to 5 highway miles off any state-designated highway to load or unload. In addition, those same trucks can travel off any state-designated highway and travel no more than 5 miles on “any state, county, township or municipal highway” to get fuel, food, repairs or rest... Another bill relegated to the Rules Committee until next year would repeal a $400 fee targeting Illinois-based truckers, the measure would eliminate the annual commercial distribution fee charged on each truck... A vote by the full Senate has been delayed until December for a bill intended to lower diesel emissions in the state. The bill would put in place a 2.5 percent surcharge onto the sale or lease of trucks that don’t have 2007 engines... Another emissions bill has been put to rest for the year. The bill would require all 1993-1998 model trucks in excess of the 16,000 gross vehicle weight rating to have federally mandated computer hardware and/or software installed to control nitrogen oxide emissions...
