be maintained throughout the period for which the
motor |
vehicle shall be registered, and that neither the owner, |
|
nor any
person operating the motor vehicle with the |
owner's permission, shall
operate the motor vehicle unless |
the required insurance is in effect. If
the person signing |
the affirmation is not the sole owner of the vehicle,
such |
person shall be deemed to have affirmed on behalf of all |
the owners of
the vehicle. If the person signing the |
affirmation is not an owner of the
vehicle, such person |
shall be deemed to have affirmed on behalf of the
owner or |
owners of the vehicle. The lack of signature on the |
application
shall not in any manner exempt the owner or |
owners from any provisions,
requirements or penalties of |
this Code.
|
(b) When such application refers to a new vehicle |
purchased from a
dealer the application shall be accompanied |
by a Manufacturer's Statement
of Origin from the dealer, and a |

(625 ILCS 5/3-405.5 new) |
Sec. 3-405.5. Registration by an owner with a condition |
that impedes effective communication. |
(a) An application for registration must provide space |
where the applicant voluntarily may indicate that the |
applicant, child of the applicant, or other approved driver of |
the registered vehicle has a health condition or disability |
that may impede effective communication with a peace officer. |
|
The application shall include a checklist of common health |
conditions and disabilities that impede effective |
communication from which the applicant may select. The |
checklist shall also include a blank space for the applicant |
to specify a condition that is not listed. The Secretary of |
State may request from a person who makes an indication under |
this subsection verification of a condition in the form of: |
(1) for a physical health condition, a written |
statement from a licensed physician; or |
(2) for a mental health condition, a written statement |
from a licensed physician, a licensed psychologist, or a |
nonphysician mental health professional. |
(b) The Secretary shall provide to the Illinois State |
Police the vehicle registration information of a person who |
indicated on an application under subsection (a) that the |
person, child of the person, or other approved driver of the |
registered vehicle has a health condition or disability that |
may impede effective communication. The Secretary may not |
provide to the Illinois State Police information that shows |
the person's specific health condition or disability, or that |
of another approved driver of the registered vehicle, unless |
the person authorizes the disclosure of the specific health |
condition or disability. |
(c) The Illinois State Police shall establish a system to |
include information received under subsection (b) in the |
statewide Law Enforcement Agencies Data System for the purpose |
|
of alerting a peace officer who makes a traffic stop that the |
operator or a child passenger of the stopped vehicle may have a |
health condition or disability that may impede effective |
communication. |
(d) The Illinois State Police may not make information |
received under subsection (b) available in the statewide Law |
Enforcement Agencies Data System to a person who has access to |
the system under a contract unless the contract prohibits the |
person from disclosing that information to a person who is not |
subject to the contract. |
(e) Except as otherwise provided by this Section, |
information supplied to the Secretary relating to an |
applicant's health condition or disability, or that of another |
approved driver of the registered vehicle, may not be |
disclosed to any person. Such information is for the |
confidential use of the Secretary and the Illinois State |
Police.

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect July 1, |
2023.
