Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that no person may drive a commercial motor vehicle on a highway if such person's driving privilege, license, or permit is, among other things, subject to, or in violation of, a "driver or vehicle out of service order" (rather than "out of service order") while operating a vehicle designed to transport "16 or more passengers" (rather than "passengers"), including the driver, or while transporting "hazardous materials required to be placarded" (rather than "hazardous materials"). Exempts the drivers of commercial motor vehicles used primarily in the transportation of propane winter heating fuel and the drivers of motor vehicles used to respond to pipeline emergencies from the commercial driver's license requirements, but only if such requirements would prevent the driver from responding to an emergency condition requiring immediate response, as defined by federal regulation. Disqualifies a person from driving a commercial motor vehicle if that person has been convicted more than once of violating certain combinations of provisions related to out-of-service orders. Increases the minimum and maximum penalties for certain violations of the Uniform Commercial Driver's License Act.
