HB5349

Illinois HB5349 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to enhance strategies for reducing vehicle-related crime and ensuring consumer protection.

Illinois HB5349 amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to establish a system of mandatory licensing and record-keeping for vehicle dealers, scrap processors, automotive parts recyclers, repairers, and rebuilders. This system aims to prevent or reduce the transfer or sale of stolen vehicles or their parts within the state. The bill emphasizes the importance of cooperation between government agencies and the automotive industry to combat vehicle theft, which has been rising steadily over the past decade.
