2001 House Bill 5504 / 2002 Public Act 259

Introduced in the House

Dec. 12, 2001

Introduced by Rep. Rich Brown (D-110)

To require criminal background checks on applicants for a commercial driver’s license. The bill is part of a legislative terrorism response package comprised of House Bills 5495 to 5520, and Senate Bills 930 to 960.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation

Feb. 27, 2002

Substitute offered

To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute narrows the scope of the bill to require criminal background checks only for applicants for a license to transport hazardous materials. It requires local police to take the fingerprints required for the check, rather than Department of State, and exempts current license holders from the requirement.

The substitute passed by voice vote

Amendment offered by Rep. Jud Gilbert (R-82)

To establish May 1, 2002 as the date the bill goes into effect.
