Rep. John A. Fritchey

Amends the Trusts and Trustees Act. Makes technical changes in a Section concerning the Act's short title.

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that an offender's eligibility for a restricted driving permit depends on whether denial of all driving privileges would cause undue hardship, as defined by rules adopted by the Secretary of State. Provides that a person convicted of 4 or more offenses of driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injury, or reckless homicide, or a combination of those offenses, is not eligible for a restricted driving permit. Provides that the Secretary shall revoke the driving privileges of any person under the age of 21 convicted of an out-of-state offense similar to DUI. Provides that a second suspension of a person's driving privileges for an out-of-state offense similar to DUI, or a single suspension of that type, if coupled with a summary suspension under the Code or a DUI or reckless homicide conviction, shall result in the person's being prohibited from driving a vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock device. Provides that a conviction of reckless homicide (as well as a conviction of DUI) increases the limitations that shall be imposed on a person's driving privileges.

Amends the Recreational Use of Land and Water Areas Act. Provides that the purpose of the Act is to make land and water areas available (instead of available to any individuals or members of the public) for recreational or conservation purposes by limiting liability to others. Provides that the definition of land does not include residential buildings (instead of residential buildings or residential property). Provides that recreational or conservation purpose means: (1) entry by individuals or members of the public (instead of entry) onto the land of another for hunting, recreational shooting, a related activity, or (2) entry by the general public onto the land of another for conservation, resource management, exercise, or educational purposes (instead of hunting, recreational shooting, or related activities). Effective immediately.
