Summary
Amends the Toll Highway Act. Provides that any person or persons may bring a civil action to recover damages for injury to his or her person or property caused by any act of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority or any of its officers, agents, or employees. Provides that any such action is subject to the same limits and requirements applicable to actions against the State under the Court of Claims Act and the Department of Central Management Services Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that in order to post a speed limit on a highway under its jurisdiction that is less than the limit prescribed in a provision of the Code concerning general speed restrictions, the Authority shall obtain approval from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. Provides that the Authority shall not issue a regulation to change the speed limit for vehicles of the second division weighing more than 8,000 pounds that is more than 10 miles per hour less than the maximum speed limit of that highway. Provides that beginning 12 months after the effective date of the bill, the effective absolute maximum speed limit on any part of a highway under the Authority's jurisdiction shall be: (1) except for Interstate Route 294 and the portion of Interstate Route 94 that is between Interstate Route 294 and U.S. Route 41, 70 miles per hour or the maximum speed limit authorized in the Code, whichever is less; and (2) 60 miles per hour or the maximum speed limit authorized in the Code, whichever is less, on Interstate Route 294 and the portion of Interstate Route 94 that is between Interstate Route 294 and U.S. Route 41. Provides that if Interstate Route 294 undergoes construction that results in an increase in the maximum design speed limit, the effective absolute maximum speed limit shall be the design speed limit or the maximum speed limit authorized in the Code, whichever is less. Provides that the Authority shall issue regulations to implement a change in the speed limits. Provides that the Authority and its employees, officers, and agents shall not be subject to an action for any injury to person or property fairly traceable to the setting of speed limits.
