AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||

Sec. 3-802. Reclassifications and upgrades.
| ||||
(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this Section, the | ||||

"Reclassification" means changing the registration of | ||||
a vehicle from one
plate category to another.
| ||||
"Upgrade" means increasing the registered weight of a | ||||
vehicle within the
same plate category.
| ||||
(b) When reclassing the registration of a vehicle from one | ||||
plate category
to another, the owner shall receive credit for | ||||
the unused portion of the
present
plate and be charged the | ||||
current portion fees for the new plate. In addition,
the | ||||
appropriate replacement plate and replacement sticker fees | ||||
shall be
assessed.
| ||||
(b-5) Beginning with the 2018 registration year, any | ||||
individual who has a registration issued under either Section | ||||
3-405 or 3-405.1 that qualifies for a special license plate |
under Sections 3-609, 3-609.1, 3-620, 3-623, 3-624, 3-625, | ||
3-626, 3-638, 3-645, 3-647, 3-650, 3-667, 3-668, 3-669, 3-676, | ||
3-677, 3-680, 3-683, 3-686, or 3-693 may reclass his or her | ||

registration sticker cost. | ||
(c) When upgrading the weight of a registration within the | ||
same plate
category, the owner shall pay the difference in | ||
current period fees between the
two plates. In addition, the | ||
appropriate replacement plate and replacement
sticker fees | ||
shall be assessed. In the event new plates are not required, | ||
the
corrected registration card fee shall be assessed.
| ||
(d) In the event the owner of the vehicle desires to change | ||
the registered
weight and change the plate category, the owner | ||
shall receive credit for the
unused portion of the registration | ||

registration fee for the new plate, and in addition, pay the

found in subsection

however, when reclassing from a flat
weight plate to an | ||

to an overpayment.

under the mileage
tax option is revoked, the owner shall be | ||
required to pay the annual
registration fee in the new plate | ||
category and shall not receive any credit for
the mileage plate | ||
fees.
| ||

8,000 pounds or less, and
recreational
vehicles. Those plates | ||
can be transferred within those vehicle groups.

division to the
other division is prohibited. In addition, a | ||
reclass from a motor vehicle to a
trailer or a trailer to a | ||
motor vehicle is prohibited.
