nor as a truck or bus, nor for hire, shall be on a calendar year
basis; except that the Secretary of State shall provide for
registration and the issuance of registration cards and plates
or registration stickers, where applicable, for one 6-month

due under this Code on a 15 month registration basis. However,
if in the discretion of the Secretary of State this creates an
undue hardship on any applicant the Secretary may allow the
applicant to pay 3 month fees and taxes at the time of
registration and the additional 12 month fees and taxes to be
payable no later than March 31 of the year after this
amendatory Act of 1991 takes effect.
(i) The Secretary of State may stagger registrations, or
change the annual expiration date, as necessary for the
convenience of the public and the efficiency of his Office. In
order to appropriately and effectively accomplish any such
staggering, the Secretary of State is authorized to prorate all
required registration fees, rounded to the nearest dollar, but
in no event for a period longer than 18 months, at a monthly
rate for a 12 month registration fee.
(j) The Secretary of State may enter into an agreement with
a rental owner, as defined in Section 3-400 of this Code, who
registers a fleet of motor vehicles of the first division
pursuant to Section 3-405.3 of this Code to provide for the
registration of the rental owner's vehicles on a 2 or 3
calendar year basis and the issuance of multi-year registration
plates with a new registration card issued up to every 3 years.
(k) The Secretary of State may provide multi-year
registration cards for any registered fleet of motor vehicles
of the first or second division that are registered pursuant to
Section 3-405.3 of this Code. Each motor vehicle of the

09900HB3713ham001 - 7 - LRB099 09777 RJF 32782 a
registered fleet must carry an unique multi-year registration
card that displays the vehicle identification number of the
registered motor vehicle. The Secretary of State shall
promulgate rules in order to implement multi-year
registrations.
(l) Beginning with the 2018 registration year, the
Secretary of State may enter into an agreement with a rental
owner, as defined in Section 3-400 of this Code, who registers
a fleet of motor vehicles of the first division under Section
3-405.3 of this Code to provide for the registration of the
rental owner's vehicle on a 5 calendar year basis. Motor
vehicles registered on a 5 calendar year basis shall be issued
a distinct registration plate that expires on a 5 year cycle.
The Secretary may prorate the registration of these
registration plates to the length of time remaining in the 5
year cycle. The Secretary may adopt any rules necessary to
implement this subsection (l).
