AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4259
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4259 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
changing Section 8-102 and by adding Section 3-414.5 as
follows:
(625 ILCS 5/3-414.5 new)
Sec. 3-414.5. Multi-year registration.
(a) The Secretary of State shall permit the owner of a
motor vehicle of the first division or 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
registration plate to register the motor vehicle for a period
of 2 years if the owner selects to register his or her motor
vehicle under this Section.
(1) If the motor vehicle to be registered is required

10000HB4259sam001 - 2 - LRB100 17292 HEP 39550 a
to 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 motor vehicle with a 2-year
registration may transfer that registration to another
motor vehicle with the same emissions inspection
requirements, if applicable. The owner of a motor 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 a prorated refund of the
registration fee.
(4) The fee for a 2-year registration shall be twice
the applicable annual registration fee for the motor
vehicle being registered. If the owner of a motor vehicle
issued registration under this subsection is subject to an
annual surcharge under Section 3-806 or 3-815, the
Secretary of State shall collect the surcharge for each
registration year of the multi-year registration at the
same time the Secretary of State collects the one-time
registration fee.
(b) The Secretary of State shall permit the owner of a
trailer to register the trailer for a period of either one year
or up to an extended 5-year registration period.

10000HB4259sam001 - 3 - LRB100 17292 HEP 39550 a
(1) The registration shall be based on a recurring
5-year registration period. The trailer owner may apply for
an annual registration, registration for the full 5 years,
or for the number of years remaining in the current 5-year
cycle at the time of the registration application.
(2) An applicant for a 5-year trailer registration
shall apply online or by completing and mailing the
appropriate 5-year registration application form to the
address indicated on the form.
(3) The owner of a trailer with a 5-year registration
may transfer that registration to another trailer of the
same weight class. The owner of a trailer with a 5-year
registration who discontinues use of the registration
before the expiration of the 5-year period is not entitled
to a complete or a prorated refund of the registration fee.
(4) The fee for a 5-year registration shall be the same
as the applicable annual registration fee for the trailer
being registered multiplied by the number of years
remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of the
registration application.
(c) The Secretary of State may adopt rules to implement
this Section.
(625 ILCS 5/8-102) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 8-102)
Sec. 8-102. Alternate methods of giving proof.
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), proof Proof of

10000HB4259sam001 - 4 - LRB100 17292 HEP 39550 a
financial responsibility, when required under Section 8-101 or
8-101.1, may be given by filing with the Secretary of State one
of the following:
1. A bond as provided in Section 8-103;
2. An insurance policy or other proof of insurance in a
form to be prescribed by the Secretary as provided in
Section 8-108;
3. A certificate of self-insurance issued by the
Director;
4. A certificate of self-insurance issued to the
Regional Transportation Authority by the Director naming
municipal or non-municipal public carriers included
therein;
5. A certificate of coverage issued by an
intergovernmental risk management association evidencing
coverages which meet or exceed the amounts required under
this Code.
(b) Beginning January 1, 2020, in lieu of filing the
documents required by subsection (a), each owner of a vehicle
required to obtain minimum liability insurance under Section
8-101 or 8-101.1 shall attest that the vehicle is insured in at
least the minimum required amount.
(1) The Secretary shall create a form on which the
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.

10000HB4259sam001 - 5 - LRB100 17292 HEP 39550 a
(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
documentation as set forth in subsection (a) of this
Section.
(3) If the owner fails to provide the required
documentation within 7 calendar days after the request is
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 may adopt rules to implement
this Section.
