Summary

The bill adds a new rule to the Illinois Vehicle Code that bans employees from driving employer‑owned trucks on highways if construction material is spilling or if a tailgate isn’t properly secured with a cover. It also makes the vehicle’s owner responsible for paying repair costs if their unsecured load damages another driver’s vehicle. The goal is to keep roadways clear of debris and protect other motorists.
