URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
Backyard Vehicle Restoration Jobs Under Siege Again In Illinois
A bill (H.B. 367) has been introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives by Rep. Jack Franks (jack@jackfranks.org) that would further restrict the ability of Illinois vehicle hobbyists from maintaining inoperable vehicles on private property. H.B. 367 would redefine “inoperable motor vehicles” to include vehicles incapable of being lawfully driven on state highways in full accordance with Illinois vehicle laws. The bill would also expand the definition of inoperable vehicles to include dismantled and unlicensed vehicles. Under current law, localities may authorize fines and disposal of inoperable vehicles on public and private property.
Contact House Executive Committee Members (List Below) Immediately To Request Their Opposition to H.B. 367
H.B. 367 would give local authorities an inordinate amount of power in determining the disposition of inoperable historic project cars.
H.B. 367 would make it virtually impossible for Illinois hobbyists to maintain inoperable collector vehicles on private property.
H.B. 367 demonstrates a clear disregard and lack of understanding of the vehicle hobby and the rights of hobbyists.
H.B. 367 makes no legal distinction between an owner using private property as a dumping ground and a vehicle enthusiast working to maintain, restore or construct a vehicle.
Please contact members of the Illinois House Executive Committee immediately by phone, fax or e-mail to request their opposition to H.B. 367.
