IL SR1589

Opposes proposed road user charges (RUCs), also known as mileage-based user fees (MBUFs) or vehicle miles traveled (VMT) fees, which would tax miles traveled on public, non-tolled Illinois roads using GPS tracking technology.

States that such fees would impose a new financial burden on Illinois drivers and make the State less competitive.

Expresses concerns that GPS monitoring plans would create privacy risks for Illinois residents and expose personal information to potential data breaches.

Urges the Illinois General Assembly not to impose road user charges and declares firm opposition to any new tax on miles traveled.
