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 |
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 |
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. |
(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 |
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 |

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

(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. |
(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. |
