whether the vehicle is
lawfully entitled to registration | ||
and the owner entitled to a certificate
of title.
| ||
5. An affirmation by the applicant that all | ||
information set forth is
true and correct. If the
| ||
application is for the registration of a motor vehicle, | ||
the applicant also
shall affirm that the motor vehicle is | ||
insured as required by this Code,
that such insurance will | ||
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 | ||
statement showing any lien retained by the
dealer.

| ||
(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.
