New, Tougher Teen Driving Laws Effective January 1, 2008 Governor Rod R. Blagojevich joined Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White in signing SB 172 into law on Monday, August 20, 2007. Senate Bill 172, known as Jesse White's Teen Driving Bill and sponsored by Sen. John Cullerton (D-Chicago) and Rep. John D'Amico (D-Chicago), is based on recommendations made by a Task Force assembled by Secretary of State Jesse White. The press release and summary of the law changes can be found at http://www.isbe.net/funding/pdf/sb172_law.pdf SB 172 becomes effective January 1, 2008, except for the provision requiring six hours of on-the-street driving, which takes effect July 1, 2008.
Other Recent Changes to Teen Driving Laws: Effective June 22, 2006, PA 94-0897 strengthens the Illinois Graduated Driver's License program by increasing the amount of practice time to 50 hours, including 10 hours of night driving, young drivers will need before being able to obtain a driver's license. This new law requires the parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult to provide written consent at the time of driver's license application verifying the teen is sufficiently prepared and able to safely operate a motor vehicle. Effective January 1, 2006, PA 94-0241 Each driver under the age of 18 years and each of the driver's passengers under the age of 19 years (changed from 18) shall wear a safety belt.
More Laws Parents and Teens Should Know: Effective July 1, 2007, An unmarried person under 18 years of age may have their driver's license cancelled or the Secretary of State's office may refuse to issue a driver's license or permit to an individual who fails to maintain school attendance. Effective July 15, 2005, A person who holds an instruction permit or a graduated license (under age 18) may not use a wireless phone while driving a vehicle. Provides that the prohibition does not apply to use of a wireless phone to contact a law enforcement agency, health care provider, or emergency services agency for emergency purpose.
