IL SB2006

Creates the Highway Work Zone Safety Act establishing a Highway Work Zone Speed Control Program to enforce speed limits in construction and maintenance zones using automated traffic control systems operated by Illinois State Police in coordination with IDOT and the Toll Highway Authority

Requires signs clearly indicating automated speed enforcement in work zones and allows for public information campaigns before deploying the systems; law enforcement officers are not required to be present to witness violations

Establishes civil penalties of $100-$200 for speeding violations captured by the automated systems, with fines distributed among circuit clerk ($10), State's Attorney ($10), Transportation Safety Highway Hire-back Fund ($50), and State Police Vehicle Fund (remainder)

Mandates that photographs and recorded images collected under the program be destroyed within 2 years, are exempt from Freedom of Information Act disclosure, and cannot be used as evidence in proceedings other than assessing work zone speed limit fines

Allows motor vehicle rental companies to avoid liability by submitting an affidavit within 30 days identifying the renter or lessee who was driving at the time of the violation; repeals the existing Automated Traffic Control Systems in Highway Construction or Maintenance Zones Act
