16 of the Illinois State Police Department of Transportation to
17 protect the People of the State of Illinois against the risk to
18 life and property inherent in the transportation of hazardous
19 materials over highways by keeping such risk to a minimum
20 consistent with technical feasibility and economic
21 reasonableness.
22 It is not the intent of the General Assembly to regulate
23 the movement of hazardous materials in such quantities that
24 would not pose a substantial danger to the public health and
