Deletes a requirement that the Secretary of State forward a certified copy of the record of such action to the motor vehicle administrator in the State where such person resides when a nonresident's operating privilege is suspended or revoked. Renames "driver exam training school" as "driver training school" in the Illinois Vehicle Code and Criminal Code of 1961.

pursuant to Sections 3-616, 11-1301.1 or 11-1301.2, or to a

evidence that the vehicle is operated by or for a person with
disabilities or disabled veteran, in any parking place,
including any private or public offstreet parking facility,

HB4820 Enrolled - 39 - LRB096 17402 AJT 32755 b
specifically reserved, by the posting of an official sign as
designated under Section 11-301, for motor vehicles displaying
such registration plates. It shall be prohibited to park any
motor vehicle in a designated access aisle adjacent to any
parking place specifically reserved for persons with
disabilities, by the posting of an official sign as designated
under Section 11-301, for motor vehicles displaying such
registration plates. When using the parking privileges for
persons with disabilities, the parking decal or device must be
displayed properly in the vehicle where it is clearly visible
to law enforcement personnel, either hanging from the rearview
mirror or placed on the dashboard of the vehicle in clear view.
Disability license plates and parking decals and devices are
not transferable from person to person. Proper usage of the
disability license plate or parking decal or device requires
the authorized holder to be present and enter or exit the
vehicle at the time the parking privileges are being used. It
is a violation of this Section to park in a space reserved for
a person with disabilities if the authorized holder of the
disability license plate or parking decal or device does not
enter or exit the vehicle at the time the parking privileges
are being used. Any motor vehicle properly displaying a
disability license plate or a parking decal or device
containing the International symbol of access issued to persons
with disabilities by any local authority, state, district,
territory or foreign country shall be recognized by State and

HB4820 Enrolled - 40 - LRB096 17402 AJT 32755 b

receive the same parking privileges as residents of this State.
(a-1) An individual with a vehicle displaying disability
license plates or a parking decal or device issued to a
qualified person with a disability under Sections 3-616,
11-1301.1, or 11-1301.2 or to a disabled veteran under Section
3-609 is in violation of this Section if (i) the person using
the disability license plate or parking decal or device is not
the authorized holder of the disability license plate or
parking decal or device or is not transporting the authorized
holder of the disability license plate or parking decal or
device to or from the parking location and (ii) the person uses
the disability license plate or parking decal or device to
exercise any privileges granted through the disability license
plate or parking decals or devices under this Code.
(b) Any person or local authority owning or operating any
public or private offstreet parking facility may, after
notifying the police or sheriff's department, remove or cause
to be removed to the nearest garage or other place of safety
any vehicle parked within a stall or space reserved for use by
a person with disabilities which does not display person with
disabilities registration plates or a special decal or device
as required under this Section.
(c) Any person found guilty of violating the provisions of
subsection (a) shall be fined $250 in addition to any costs or
charges connected with the removal or storage of any motor

HB4820 Enrolled - 41 - LRB096 17402 AJT 32755 b
vehicle authorized under this Section; but municipalities by
ordinance may impose a fine up to $350 and shall display signs
indicating the fine imposed. If the amount of the fine is
subsequently changed, the municipality shall change the sign to
indicate the current amount of the fine. It shall not be a
defense to a charge under this Section that either the sign
posted pursuant to this Section or the intended accessible
parking place does not comply with the technical requirements
of Section 11-301, Department regulations, or local ordinance
if a reasonable person would be made aware by the sign or
notice on or near the parking place that the place is reserved
for a person with disabilities.
(c-1) Any person found guilty of violating the provisions
