"Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
changing Section 8-102 and by adding Section 3-414.5 as

Sec. 3-414.5. Multi-year registration.
(a) The Secretary may, in his or her discretion, permit the
owner of a motor vehicle of the first division, a motor vehicle
of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds, or
a motor vehicle of the second division applying for a C Class

(1) If the vehicle to be registered is required to

10000HB4259ham002 - 2 - LRB100 17292 LNS 36761 a
undergo emissions inspections, the 2-year registration
must coincide with the emissions inspection cycle.
(2) An applicant for a 2-year registration shall apply
online or by completing and mailing the appropriate 2-year
registration application form to the address indicated on
the form.
(3) The owner of a vehicle with a 2-year registration
may transfer that registration to another vehicle with the
same emissions inspection cycle, if applicable. The owner
of a vehicle with a 2-year registration who discontinues
use of the registration before the expiration of the 2-year
period is not entitled to a complete or prorated refund of
the registration fee.
(4) The fee for a 2-year registration shall be twice
the applicable annual registration fee for the vehicle
being registered.
(b) Beginning January 1, 2021, the Secretary shall permit
the owner of a trailer to register the trailer for a period of
one year or for an extended registration period of up to 5
years.
(1) The extended trailer registration shall be based on
a recurring 5-year registration period. The trailer owner
may apply for an extended registration for the number of
years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of
the registration application.
(2) An applicant for an extended trailer registration

10000HB4259ham002 - 3 - LRB100 17292 LNS 36761 a
shall apply online or by completing and mailing the
appropriate extended trailer registration application form
to the address indicated on the form.
(3) The owner of a trailer with an extended
registration may transfer that registration to another
trailer of the same weight class. The owner of a trailer
with an extended registration who discontinues use of the
registration before the registration period expires is not
entitled to a complete or prorated refund of the
registration fee.
(4) The fee for an extended registration shall be the
same as the applicable annual registration fee for the
trailer being registered, multiplied by the number of years
or partial years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at
the time of the registration application.
(c) The Secretary of State shall adopt rules to implement
this Section.

required to obtain minimum liability insurance under Section

least the minimum required amount.

vehicle owner shall attest that the vehicle is insured in
at least the minimum required amount. The attestation form
shall be submitted with each registration application.
(2) The attestation form shall be valid for the full
registration period; however, if at any time the Secretary
has reason to believe that the owner does not have the
minimum required amount of insurance for a vehicle, the
Secretary may require the owner to file with the Secretary

10000HB4259ham002 - 5 - LRB100 17292 LNS 36761 a
documentation as set forth in subsection (a) of this
Section.

made, the Secretary may suspend the vehicle registration.
The registration shall remain suspended until such time as
the required documentation is provided to and reviewed by
the Secretary.
(4) The owner of a vehicle that is self-insured shall
attest that the funds available to pay liability claims
related to the operation of the vehicle are equivalent to
or greater than the minimum liability insurance
requirements under Section 8-101 or 8-101.1.
(c) The Secretary of State shall adopt rules to implement
this Section.
