A BILL FOR
HB0371 LRB099 05719 RJF 25762 b
AN ACT concerning transportation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing
Sections 3-402.1 and 20-101 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/3-402.1) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-402.1)
Sec. 3-402.1. Proportional Registration. Any owner or
rental owner engaged in operating a fleet of apportionable
vehicles in this state and one or more other states may, in
lieu of registration of such vehicles under the general
provisions of sections 3-402, 3-815, 3-815.1, and 3-819,
register and license such fleet for operations in this state by
filing an application statement, signed under penalties of
perjury, with the Secretary of State which shall be in such
form and contain such information as the Secretary of State
shall require, declaring the total mileage operated in all
states by such fleet, the total mileage operated in this state
by such fleet during the preceding year, and describing and
identifying each apportionable vehicle to be operated in this
state during the ensuing year. If mileage data is not available
for the preceding year, the Secretary of State may accept the
latest 12-month period available. "Preceding year" means the
period of 12 consecutive months immediately prior to July 1st

HB0371 - 2 - LRB099 05719 RJF 25762 b
of the year immediately preceding the registration or license
year for which proportional registration is sought.
Such owner shall determine the proportion of in-state miles
to total fleet miles. Such percentage figure shall be such
owner's apportionment factor. In determining the total fee
payment, such owner shall first compute the license fee or fees
for each vehicle within the fleet which would otherwise be
required, and then multiply the said amount by the Illinois
apportionment factor adding the fees for each vehicle to arrive
at a total amount for the fleet. Apportionable trailers and
semitrailers will be registered in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3-813 of this Code.
Upon receipt of the appropriate fees from such owner as
computed under the provisions of this section, the Secretary of
State shall, when this state is the base jurisdiction, issue to
such owner number plates or other distinctive tags or such
evidence of registration as the Secretary of State shall deem
appropriate to identify each vehicle in the fleet as a part of
a proportionally registered interstate fleet.
Vehicles registered under the provision of this section
shall be considered fully licensed and properly registered in
Illinois for any type of movement or operation. The
proportional registration and licensing provisions of this
section shall apply to vehicles added to fleets and operated in
this state during the registration year, applying the same
apportionment factor to such fees as would be payable for the

HB0371 - 3 - LRB099 05719 RJF 25762 b
remainder of the registration year.
Apportionment factors for apportionable vehicles not
operated in this state during the preceding year shall be
determined by the Secretary of State on the basis of a full
statement of the proposed methods of operation and in
conformity with an estimated mileage chart as calculated by the
Secretary of State. An established fleet adding states at the
time of renewal shall estimate mileage for the added states in
conformity with a mileage chart developed by the Secretary of
State.

Sec. 20-101. Moneys derived from registration, operation
and use of automobiles and from fuel taxes - Use. From and
after the effective date of this Act, except as provided in
Section 3-815.1 of this Code, no public moneys derived from
fees, excises or license taxes relating to registration,
operation and use of vehicles on public highways or to fuels
used for the propulsion of such vehicles, shall be appropriated
or expended other than for costs of administering the laws
imposing such fees, excises and license taxes, statutory
refunds and adjustments allowed thereunder, administrative
costs of the Department of Transportation, payment of debts and
liabilities incurred in construction and reconstruction of
public highways and bridges, acquisition of rights-of-way for,

direction and supervision of the State, political subdivision
or municipality collecting such moneys, and the costs for
patrolling and policing the public highways (by the State,
political subdivision or municipality collecting such money)
for enforcement of traffic laws; provided, that such moneys may
be used for the retirement of and interest on bonds heretofore
issued for purposes other than the construction of public
highways or bridges but not to a greater extent, nor a greater
length of time, than is provided in acts heretofore adopted and
now in force. Further the separation of grades of such highways
with railroads and costs associated with protection of at-grade
highway and railroad crossings shall also be permissible.
