Edgar pushes tougher truck license rules for Illinois
Secretary of State Jim Edgar proposes strict licensing for 553,000 Illinois commercial drivers aligning with the federal Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act. He cites high highway risk from heavy trucks and calls for tougher road tests, stricter violation penalties, and a 1990 start with full compliance by 1992. Support from safety groups and industry includes the Illinois Trucking Association and Teamsters.
