Illinois bill would change rule on hanging items from car's rearview mirror

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - A new proposal would make it ok for drivers in Illinois to have items hanging from their rearview mirror.

Under House Bill 23-89, law enforcement officers would no longer be able to stop a driver just for something like an air freshener or rosary.

The legislation passed the Illinois House on March 24th, and it is awaiting a floor vote in the Illinois Senate.
