IL HB4090

Municipalities and counties cannot collect parking violation debts more than 5 years after the first notice of violation is sent to the registered vehicle owner.

This 5-year statute of limitations applies to parking violations under Article XIII of the Illinois Vehicle Code or similar municipal ordinances.

Home rule units are prohibited from regulating parking debt collection in a manner inconsistent with this limitation, which is characterized as a state-level constraint on home rule authority.

The restriction applies across multiple sections of the Illinois Municipal Code and Vehicle Code governing parking violation administration and debt collection procedures.
