Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that, in a city having a population of more than 500,000, whenever an abandoned, lost, stolen, or unclaimed vehicle, or a vehicle determined to be a hazardous dilapidated motor vehicle, remains unclaimed by the registered owner, lienholder, or other legally entitled person for a period of 30 (rather than 15) days after the legally required notice has been given, and if during that 30 days the possessor of the vehicle has twice more sent the required notice to the registered owner, lienholder, or other legally entitled person, the possessor of the vehicle shall dispose of the vehicle to a licensed automotive parts recycler, rebuilder, or scrap processor. Provides that the registered owner, lienholder, or other legally entitled person shall receive any proceeds from the disposition of the vehicle, less reasonable storage charges and administrative fees. Provides that it is an unlawful practice for a commercial vehicle relocator to fail, in the office or location at which relocated vehicles are routinely returned to their owners: (1) to place the relocator's representative in a position where the representative is not fully visible, above his or her shoulders, to the owners of relocated vehicles; (2) to ensure that the relocator's representative provides suitable evidence of his or her identity to owners of relocated vehicles upon request; or (3) to make a supervisor available to the owners of relocated vehicles upon request.
