Added as Co-Sponsor Sen. Adriane L. Johnson
Summary
The resolution calls on the Illinois Department of Transportation, Secretary of State, State Police, local law enforcement, prosecutors and traffic‑safety groups to examine and improve their policies, enforcement tactics, public education and sentencing guidelines for impaired driving, extreme reckless driving, dangerous “ghosting” behavior, and driving recorded for social media. It was prompted by the 2024 death of 17‑year‑old Marko Niketic in a high‑speed crash allegedly involving a driver who was impaired and filming the incident. The Senate hopes stronger coordination and possible legislative changes will better protect motorists and pedestrians.
