Provided that this requirement does | ||||||
5 | not apply to a dealer who is already
licensed hereunder | ||||||
6 | with the Secretary of State, and who is merely applying
for | ||||||
7 | a renewal of his license. As evidence of this fact, the | ||||||
8 | application
shall be accompanied by a certification from | ||||||
9 | the Department of Revenue
showing that that Department has | ||||||
10 | approved the applicant for registration
under the | ||||||
11 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.

$300,000 for | ||||||

22 | policy shall expire

23 | for which the license was issued
or renewed. The expiration | ||||||
24 | of the insurance policy shall not terminate
the liability | ||||||
25 | under the policy arising during the period for which the
| ||||||
26 | policy was filed. Trailer and mobile home dealers are |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exempt from this
requirement.
| ||||||
2 | If the permitted user has a liability insurance policy | ||||||
3 | that provides
automobile
liability insurance coverage of | ||||||
4 | at least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the
death of any
| ||||||
5 | person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any 2 | ||||||
6 | or more persons in
any one
accident, and $50,000 for damage | ||||||
7 | to property,
then the permitted user's insurer shall be the | ||||||
8 | primary
insurer and the
dealer's insurer shall be the | ||||||
9 | secondary insurer. If the permitted user does not
have a | ||||||
10 | liability
insurance policy that provides automobile | ||||||
11 | liability insurance coverage of at
least
$100,000 for | ||||||
12 | bodily injury to or the death of any person, $300,000 for | ||||||
13 | bodily
injury to or the death of any 2 or more persons in | ||||||
14 | any one accident, and
$50,000 for damage to property, or | ||||||
15 | does not have any insurance at all,
then the dealer's | ||||||
16 | insurer shall be the primary insurer and the permitted | ||||||
17 | user's
insurer shall be the secondary
insurer.
| ||||||
18 | When a permitted user is "test driving" a new vehicle | ||||||
19 | dealer's automobile,
the new vehicle dealer's insurance | ||||||
20 | shall be primary and the permitted user's
insurance shall | ||||||
21 | be secondary.
| ||||||
22 | As used in this paragraph 6, a "permitted user" is a | ||||||
23 | person who, with the
permission of the new vehicle dealer | ||||||
24 | or an employee of the new vehicle dealer,
drives a vehicle | ||||||
25 | owned and held for sale or lease by the new vehicle dealer
| ||||||
26 | which the person is considering
to purchase or lease, in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | order to evaluate the performance, reliability, or
| ||||||
2 | condition of the vehicle.
The term "permitted user" also | ||||||
3 | includes a person who, with the permission of
the new
| ||||||
4 | vehicle dealer, drives a vehicle owned or held for sale or | ||||||
5 | lease by the new
vehicle dealer
for loaner purposes while | ||||||
6 | the user's vehicle is being repaired or evaluated.
| ||||||
7 | As used in this paragraph 6, "test driving" occurs when | ||||||
8 | a permitted user
who,
with the permission of the new | ||||||
9 | vehicle dealer or an employee of the new vehicle
dealer, | ||||||
10 | drives a vehicle owned and held for sale or lease by a new | ||||||
11 | vehicle
dealer that the person is considering to purchase | ||||||
12 | or lease, in order to
evaluate the performance, | ||||||
13 | reliability, or condition of the
vehicle.
| ||||||
14 | As used in this paragraph 6, "loaner purposes" means | ||||||
15 | when a person who,
with the permission of the new vehicle | ||||||
16 | dealer, drives a vehicle owned or held
for sale or lease by | ||||||
17 | the new vehicle dealer while the
user's vehicle is being | ||||||
18 | repaired or evaluated.

accident, and $50,000 for damage to property. Such | ||||||
7 | policy shall expire
not sooner than December 31 of the year | ||||||
8 | for which the license was issued
or renewed. The expiration | ||||||
9 | of the insurance policy shall not terminate
the liability | ||||||
10 | under the policy arising during the period for which the | ||||||
11 | policy
was filed. Trailer and mobile home dealers are | ||||||
12 | exempt from this requirement.
| ||||||
13 | If the permitted user has a liability insurance policy | ||||||
14 | that provides
automobile
liability insurance coverage of | ||||||
15 | at least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the
death of any
| ||||||
16 | person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any 2 | ||||||
17 | or more persons in
any one
accident, and $50,000 for damage | ||||||
18 | to property,
then the permitted user's insurer shall be the | ||||||
19 | primary
insurer and the
dealer's insurer shall be the | ||||||
20 | secondary insurer. If the permitted user does not
have a | ||||||
21 | liability
insurance policy that provides automobile | ||||||
22 | liability insurance coverage of at
least
$100,000 for | ||||||
23 | bodily injury to or the death of any person, $300,000 for | ||||||
24 | bodily
injury to or
the death of any 2 or more persons in | ||||||
25 | any one accident, and $50,000 for damage
to
property, or | ||||||
26 | does not have any insurance at all,
then the
dealer's
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | insurer shall be the primary insurer and the permitted | ||||||
2 | user's insurer shall be
the secondary
insurer.
| ||||||
3 | When a permitted user is "test driving" a used vehicle | ||||||
4 | dealer's automobile,
the used vehicle dealer's insurance | ||||||
5 | shall be primary and the permitted user's
insurance shall | ||||||
6 | be secondary.
| ||||||

22 | vehicle
dealer that the person is considering to purchase | ||||||

24 | reliability, or condition of the
vehicle.
