17 | otherwise
unavailable to unauthorized vehicles and they | ||||||
18 | are subject to being removed
at the owner or operator's | ||||||
19 | expense, any property owner or lessor, prior to

9 | a 2-family, 3-family, or 4-family residence may be | ||||||
10 | prominently placed at the perimeter of the parking lot, | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | care.
| ||||||
2 | 9.5. Except as authorized by a law enforcement officer, | ||||||

6 | its own power on a highway. | ||||||
7 | 10. When a vehicle has been towed or removed pursuant | ||||||
8 | to this Section,
it must be released to its owner or | ||||||

requested, if such | ||||||
10 | request is made during business hours. Any vehicle owner
or | ||||||
11 | custodian or agent shall have the right to inspect the | ||||||
12 | vehicle before
accepting its return, and no release or | ||||||
13 | waiver of any kind which would
release the towing service | ||||||
14 | from liability for damages incurred during the

authorized person as a condition of release of the | ||||||
17 | vehicle. A detailed,

7 | 11. Towing companies shall also provide insurance | ||||||
8 | coverage for areas

9 | provisions of this Chapter will be impounded
or otherwise | ||||||
10 | stored, and shall adequately cover loss by fire, theft or
| ||||||
11 | other risks.
| ||||||
12 | Any person who fails to comply with the conditions and | ||||||
13 | restrictions of
this subsection shall be guilty of a Class C | ||||||
14 | misdemeanor and shall be fined
not less than $100 nor more than | ||||||
15 | $500.
| ||||||
16 | (g)(1) When a vehicle is determined to be a hazardous | ||||||
17 | dilapidated
motor
vehicle pursuant to Section 11-40-3.1 of the | ||||||
18 | Illinois Municipal Code or Section 5-12002.1 of the Counties | ||||||
19 | Code, its
removal and impoundment by a towing service may be | ||||||
20 | authorized by a law
enforcement agency with appropriate | ||||||
21 | jurisdiction.
| ||||||
22 | (2) When a vehicle removal from either public or private | ||||||
23 | property is
authorized by a law enforcement agency, the owner | ||||||
24 | of the vehicle shall be
responsible for all towing and storage | ||||||
25 | charges.
| ||||||
26 | (3) Vehicles removed from public or private property and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | stored by a commercial vehicle relocator or any other towing | ||||||
2 | service authorized by a law enforcement agency in
compliance | ||||||
3 | with this Section and Sections 4-201 and 4-202
of this Code, or | ||||||
4 | at the request of the vehicle owner or operator,
shall
be | ||||||
5 | subject to a possessor lien for services
pursuant to the Labor | ||||||
6 | and Storage Lien (Small Amount) Act. The provisions of Section | ||||||
7 | 1 of that Act relating to notice
and implied consent shall be | ||||||
8 | deemed satisfied by compliance with Section
18a-302 and | ||||||
9 | subsection (6) of Section 18a-300. In no event shall such lien
| ||||||
10 | be greater than the rate or rates established in accordance | ||||||
11 | with subsection
(6) of Section 18a-200 of this Code. In no | ||||||
12 | event shall such lien be
increased or altered to reflect any | ||||||
13 | charge for services or materials
rendered in addition to those | ||||||
14 | authorized by this Act. Every such lien
shall be payable by use | ||||||
15 | of any major credit card, in addition to being
payable in cash.
| ||||||
16 | (4) Any personal property belonging to the vehicle owner in | ||||||
17 | a vehicle subject to a lien under this
subsection
(g) shall | ||||||
18 | likewise be subject to that lien, excepting only:
child | ||||||
19 | restraint systems as defined in Section 4 of the Child | ||||||
20 | Passenger Protection Act and other child booster seats; | ||||||
21 | eyeglasses; food; medicine; perishable property; any | ||||||
22 | operator's licenses; any cash, credit
cards, or checks or | ||||||
23 | checkbooks; any wallet, purse, or other property
containing any | ||||||
24 | operator's license or other identifying documents or | ||||||
25 | materials,
cash, credit cards, checks, or checkbooks; and any | ||||||
26 | personal property belonging to a person other than the vehicle |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | owner if that person provides adequate proof that the personal | ||||||
2 | property belongs to that person. The spouse, child, mother, | ||||||
3 | father, brother, or sister of the vehicle owner may claim | ||||||
4 | personal property excepted under this paragraph (4) if the | ||||||
5 | person claiming the personal property provides the commercial | ||||||
6 | vehicle relocator or towing service with the authorization of | ||||||
7 | the vehicle owner. | ||||||
8 | (5) This paragraph (5) applies only in the case of a | ||||||
9 | vehicle that is towed as a result of being involved in an | ||||||
10 | accident. In addition to the personal property excepted under | ||||||
11 | paragraph (4), all other personal property in a vehicle subject | ||||||
12 | to a lien under this subsection (g) is exempt from that lien | ||||||
13 | and may be claimed by the vehicle owner if the vehicle owner | ||||||
14 | provides the commercial vehicle relocator or towing service | ||||||
15 | with proof that the vehicle owner has an insurance policy | ||||||
16 | covering towing and storage fees. The spouse, child, mother, | ||||||
17 | father, brother, or sister of the vehicle owner may claim | ||||||
18 | personal property in a vehicle subject to a lien under this | ||||||
19 | subsection (g) if the person claiming the personal property | ||||||
20 | provides the commercial vehicle relocator or towing service | ||||||
21 | with the authorization of the vehicle owner and proof that the | ||||||
22 | vehicle owner has an insurance policy covering towing and | ||||||
23 | storage fees. The regulation of liens on personal property and | ||||||
24 | exceptions to those liens in the case of vehicles towed as a | ||||||
25 | result of being involved in an accident are
exclusive powers | ||||||
26 | and functions of the State. A home
rule unit may not regulate |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | liens on personal property and exceptions to those liens in the | ||||||
2 | case of vehicles towed as a result of being involved in an | ||||||
3 | accident. This paragraph (5) is a denial and
limitation of home | ||||||
4 | rule powers and functions under
subsection (h) of Section 6 of | ||||||
5 | Article VII of the
Illinois Constitution. | ||||||
6 | (6) No lien under this subsection (g) shall:
exceed $2,000 | ||||||
7 | in its total amount; or
be increased or altered to reflect any | ||||||
8 | charge for services or
materials rendered in addition to those | ||||||
9 | authorized by this Act.
| ||||||
10 | (h) Whenever a peace officer issues a citation to a driver | ||||||
11 | for a violation of subsection (a) of Section 11-506 of this | ||||||
12 | Code, the arresting officer may have the vehicle which the | ||||||
13 | person was operating at the time of the arrest impounded for a | ||||||
14 | period of 5 days after the time of arrest.
An impounding agency | ||||||
15 | shall release a motor vehicle impounded under this subsection | ||||||
16 | (h) to the registered owner of the vehicle under any of the | ||||||
17 | following circumstances: | ||||||
18 | (1) If the vehicle is a stolen vehicle; or | ||||||
19 | (2) If the person ticketed for a violation of | ||||||
20 | subsection (a) of Section 11-506 of this Code was not | ||||||
21 | authorized by the registered owner of the vehicle to | ||||||
22 | operate the vehicle at the time of the violation; or | ||||||
23 | (3) If the registered owner of the vehicle was neither | ||||||
24 | the driver nor a passenger in the vehicle at the time of | ||||||
25 | the violation or was unaware that the driver was using the | ||||||
26 | vehicle to engage in street racing; or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) If the legal owner or registered owner of the | ||||||
2 | vehicle is a rental car agency; or | ||||||
3 | (5) If, prior to the expiration of the impoundment | ||||||
4 | period specified above, the citation is dismissed or the | ||||||
5 | defendant is found not guilty of the offense.
| ||||||
6 | (i) Except for vehicles exempted under subsection (b) of | ||||||
7 | Section 7-601 of this Code, whenever a law enforcement officer | ||||||
8 | issues a citation to a driver for a violation of Section 3-707 | ||||||
9 | of this Code, and the driver has a prior conviction for a | ||||||
10 | violation of Section 3-707 of this Code in the past 12 months, | ||||||
11 | the arresting officer shall authorize the removal and | ||||||
12 | impoundment of the vehicle by a towing service. | ||||||
13 | (Source: P.A. 99-438, eff. 1-1-16 .)".
