Thread: Trailer plates

HB5306 | Illinois 2019-2020 | VEH CD-PERMANENT TRAILER PLATE | TrackBill

Help me if I'm wrong, but...I did some research on this topic with a lot of questions to to DMV and IDOT officials. I felt there were several gray areas to consider. I have cleared my concerns except for Illinois law enforcement recognition of the TL classification. I was informed that it could be answered as government approved. One DMV agent I talked to had applied the TL plates to three trailers. I have changed four trailers with two of which are boat trailers. RV trailers do not qualify. The plates are permanent , of course which means, NO renewal fee. I was told it was obvious why it is not advertised. My own opinion is that some fat bastard of a law maker in Springfield has a mowing business with 40 trailers and slid the bill thru on the back of something else, and won't last long. But one thing I was told that if changed, the former ruling is grandfathered -in. WOW. I've put it to the test, so I guess we will see......

Correction, I indicated the plates as "TL" , should have been "ST".....
