VEH CD-SCHOOL BUS-DRIVING SIGN
Summary
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that each school bus must display at the rear of the bus a sign indicating the telephone number of the owner of the school bus. Deletes language providing that the sign shall indicate that the number is to be called to report erratic driving by the school bus driver. Adds language requiring that the sign shall be in the form "TO COMMENT ON MY DRIVING, CALL (area code and telephone number of school bus owner)". Provides that existing school busses carrying the sign conforming to the former requirements are not required to update the sign to the new requirements until the school bus owner replaces the sign. Effective January 1, 2010.
