HB4225

Illinois HB4225 allows public transit agencies to use electronic rearview monitoring systems on commercial vehicles instead of traditional mirrors.

Illinois HB4225 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to permit public transit agencies to use electronic rearview monitoring systems on commercial motor vehicles as an alternative to the traditional mirror requirements. This change applies only if the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has granted an exemption to the federal mirror regulations. The bill specifies that these systems must still ensure the driver has a view of the highway for at least 200 feet behind the vehicle.
