Illinois Hazardous Materials Transportation Act
Illinois · Public Safety · §§ 430-30-1 to 430-30-9 · 18 sections
Overview
This act governs the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce, prohibiting shipments that do not comply with its requirements and the rules issued under it. It authorizes the responsible state department to adopt implementing regulations — including by incorporating federal motor carrier safety and hazardous materials rules by reference — and to coordinate with other state agencies through interagency agreements. Enforcement runs through highway law enforcement officials and a penalty scheme that reaches civil fines after notice and hearing, criminal liability for willful violations, and court orders for repeated violations, with departmental decisions subject to judicial review; narrow exemptions cover natural gas pipelines and the transportation of firearms and ammunition.
