    AN ACT concerning State government.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  


 
    Section 5. The Illinois Identification Card Act is amended  
by changing Section 4 as follows:
 


    (15 ILCS 335/4)  (from Ch. 124, par. 24)

    Sec. 4. Identification card. 

    (a) The Secretary of State shall issue a
standard Illinois 
Identification Card to any natural person who is a resident
of 
the State of Illinois who applies for such card, or renewal 
thereof. No identification card shall be issued to any person 
who holds a valid
foreign state
identification card, license, 
or permit unless the person first surrenders to
the Secretary 
of
State the valid foreign state identification card, license, 
or permit.  The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the 
Secretary of State and shall include a photograph and 
signature or mark of the
applicant.  However, the Secretary of 
State may provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois 
Identification Cards without photographs if the applicant has 
a bona fide religious objection to being photographed or to 
the display of his or her photograph. The Illinois 
Identification Card may be used for
identification purposes in 
any lawful situation only by the person to
whom it was issued.

As used in this Act, "photograph" means any color photograph 
or digitally
produced and captured image of an applicant for 
an identification card.  As
used in this Act, "signature" means 
the name of a person as written by that
person and captured in 
a manner acceptable to the Secretary of State.
    (a-5) If an applicant for an identification card has a 
current driver's license or instruction permit issued by the 
Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to 
utilize the same residence address and name on the 
identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit 
records maintained by the Secretary.  The Secretary may 
promulgate rules to implement this provision. 

    (a-10) If the applicant is a judicial officer as defined 
in Section 1-10 of the Judicial Privacy Act or a peace officer, 
the applicant may elect to have his or her office or work 
address listed on the card instead of the applicant's 
residence or mailing address. The Secretary may promulgate 
rules to implement this provision. For the purposes of this 
subsection (a-10), "peace officer" means any person who by 
virtue of his or her office or public employment is vested by 
law with a duty to maintain public order or to make arrests for 
a violation of any penal statute of this State, whether that 
duty extends to all violations or is limited to specific 
violations. 
    (a-15) The Secretary of State may provide for an expedited 
process for the issuance of an Illinois Identification Card. 
The Secretary shall charge an additional fee for the expedited 
issuance of an Illinois Identification Card, to be set by 
rule, not to exceed $75. All fees collected by the Secretary 
for expedited Illinois Identification Card service shall be 
deposited into the Secretary of State Special Services Fund. 
The Secretary may adopt rules regarding the eligibility, 
process, and fee for an expedited Illinois Identification 
Card. If the Secretary of State determines that the volume of 
expedited identification card requests received on a given day 
exceeds the ability of the Secretary to process those requests 
in an expedited manner, the Secretary may decline to provide 
expedited services, and the additional fee for the expedited 
service shall be refunded to the applicant. 
    (a-20) The Secretary of State shall issue a standard 
Illinois Identification Card to a committed person committed 
to upon release on parole, mandatory supervised release, 
aftercare release, final discharge, or pardon from the 
Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice 
upon receipt of the person's birth certificate, social 
security card, photograph, proof of residency upon discharge, 
and an identification card application  transferred via a 
secure method as agreed upon by the Secretary and the 
Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice ,  
if the released person presents a certified copy of his or her 
birth certificate, social security card or other documents 
authorized by the Secretary, and 2 documents proving his or 
her Illinois residence address.   Illinois residency shall be 
established by submission of a Secretary of State prescribed 
Identification Card verification form completed by the 
respective Department Documents proving residence address may 
include any official document of the Department of Corrections 
or the Department of Juvenile Justice showing the released 
person's address after release and a Secretary of State 
prescribed certificate of residency form, which may be 
executed by Department of Corrections or Department of 
Juvenile Justice personnel.
    (a-25) The Secretary of State shall issue a limited-term 
Illinois Identification Card valid for 90 days to a committed 
person upon release on parole, mandatory supervised release, 
aftercare release, final discharge, or pardon from the 
Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice, 
if the released person is unable to present a certified copy of 
his or her birth certificate and social security card or other 
documents authorized by the Secretary, but does present a 
Secretary of State prescribed Identification Card verification 
form completed by the Department of Corrections or Department 
of Juvenile Justice, verifying the released person's date of 
birth, and social security number, and 2 documents proving his 
or her Illinois residence address.  The verification form must 
have been completed no more than 30 days prior to the date of 
application for the Illinois Identification Card.  Documents 
proving residence address shall include any official document 
of the Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile 
Justice showing the person's address after release and a 
Secretary of State prescribed certificate of residency, which 
may be executed by Department of Corrections or Department of 
Juvenile Justice personnel.
    Prior to the expiration of the 90-day period of the 
limited-term Illinois Identification Card, if the released 
person submits to the Secretary of State a certified copy  of 
his or her birth certificate and his or her social security 
card or other documents authorized by the Secretary, a 
standard Illinois Identification Card shall be issued.   A 
limited-term Illinois Identification Card may not be renewed. 
    (a-30)    The Secretary of State shall issue a standard 
Illinois Identification Card to a person upon conditional 
release or absolute discharge from the custody of the 
Department of Human Services, if the person presents a 
certified copy of his or her birth certificate, social 
security card, or other documents authorized by the Secretary, 
and a document proving his or her Illinois residence address. 
The Secretary of State shall issue a standard Illinois 
Identification Card to a person prior to his or her 
conditional release or absolute discharge if personnel from 
the Department of Human Services bring the person to a 
Secretary of State location with the required documents. 
Documents proving residence address may include any official 
document of the Department of Human Services showing the 
person's address after release and a Secretary of State 
prescribed verification form, which may be executed by 
personnel of the Department of Human Services.
    (a-35)   The Secretary of State shall issue a limited-term 
Illinois Identification Card valid for 90 days to a person 
upon conditional release or absolute discharge from the 
custody of the Department of Human Services, if the person is 
unable to present a certified copy of his or her birth 
certificate and social security card or other documents

State prescribed verification form completed by the Department 
of Human Services, verifying the person's date of birth and 
social security number, and a document proving his or her 
Illinois residence address. The verification form must have 
been completed no more than 30 days prior to the date of 
application for the Illinois Identification Card. The 
Secretary of State shall issue a limited-term Illinois 
Identification Card to a person no sooner than 14 days prior to

person to a Secretary of State location with the required 
documents. Documents proving residence address shall include 
any official document of the Department of Human Services 
showing the person's address after release and a Secretary of 
State prescribed verification form, which may be executed
by 
personnel of the Department of Human Services. 
    (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois

Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois 
Person with a Disability
Identification Card, to any natural 
person who is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a 
person with a disability as defined in Section 4A of this Act,

who applies for such card, or renewal thereof.  No Illinois 
Person with a Disability Identification Card shall be issued 
to any person who
holds a valid
foreign state identification 
card, license, or permit unless the person first
surrenders to 
the
Secretary of State the valid foreign state identification 
card, license, or
permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge 
no fee to issue such card.  The card shall be prepared and

supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall include a 
photograph and signature or mark of the
applicant, a 
designation indicating that the card is an Illinois
Person 
with a Disability Identification Card, and shall include a 
comprehensible designation
of the type and classification of 
the applicant's disability as set out in
Section 4A of this 
Act.  However, the Secretary of State may provide by rule for 
the issuance of Illinois Person with a Disability 
Identification Cards without photographs if the applicant has 
a bona fide religious objection to being photographed or to 
the display of his or her photograph. If the applicant so 
requests, the card shall
include a description of the 
applicant's disability and any information
about the 
applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary

determines would be helpful to the applicant in securing 
emergency medical
care.  If a mark is used in lieu of a 
signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card in the 
presence of two witnesses who attest to
the authenticity of 
the mark.  The Illinois
 Person with a Disability Identification 
Card may be used for identification purposes
in any lawful 
situation by the person to whom it was issued.

    The Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card 
may be used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of 
a physician's determination of
disability, a determination of 
disability from a physician assistant, a determination of 
disability from an advanced practice registered
nurse, or any

other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law

requires that a person with a disability provide such 
documentation of disability,
however an Illinois Person with a 
Disability Identification Card shall not qualify
the 
cardholder to participate in any program or to receive any 
benefit
which is not available to all persons with like 
disabilities.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an 
Illinois Person with a Disability
Identification Card, or 
evidence that the Secretary of State has issued an
Illinois 
Person with a Disability Identification Card, shall not be 
used by any
person other than the person named on such card to 
prove that the person
named on such card is a person with a 
disability or for any other purpose unless the
card is used for 
the benefit of the person named on such card, and the
person 
named on such card consents to such use at the time the card is 
so used.

    An optometrist's determination of a visual disability 
under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation 
for the purpose of issuing an Illinois Person with a 
Disability Identification Card. 
    When medical information is contained on an Illinois 
Person with a Disability
Identification Card, the Office of 
the Secretary of State shall not be
liable for any actions 
taken based upon that medical information.

    (c) The Secretary of State shall provide
that each 
original or renewal Illinois Identification Card or Illinois
 
Person with a Disability Identification Card issued to a 
person under the age of 21
shall be of a distinct nature from 
those Illinois Identification Cards or

Disability Identification Cards issued to individuals 21
years 
of age or older. The color designated for Illinois 
Identification
Cards or Illinois Person with a Disability 
Identification Cards for persons under
the age of 21 shall be 
at the discretion of the Secretary of State.

    (c-1) Each original or renewal Illinois
Identification 
Card or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card 
issued to
a person under the age of 21 shall display the date 
upon which the person
becomes 18 years of age and the date upon 
which the person becomes 21 years of
age.

    (c-3) The General Assembly recognizes the need to identify 
military veterans living in this State for the purpose of 
ensuring that they receive all of the services and benefits to 
which they are legally entitled, including healthcare, 
education assistance, and job placement.  To assist the State 
in identifying these veterans and delivering these vital 
services and benefits, the Secretary of State is authorized to 
issue Illinois Identification Cards and Illinois Person with a 
Disability Identification Cards with the word "veteran" 
appearing on the face of the cards.  This authorization is 
predicated on the unique status of veterans.  The Secretary may 
not issue any other identification card which identifies an 
occupation, status, affiliation, hobby, or other unique 
characteristics of the identification card holder which is 
unrelated to the purpose of the identification card.

    (c-5) Beginning on or before July 1, 2015, the Secretary 
of State shall designate a space on each original or renewal 
identification card where, at the request of the applicant, 
the word "veteran" shall be placed. The veteran designation 
shall be available to a person identified as a veteran under 
subsection (b) of Section 5 of this Act who was discharged or 
separated under honorable conditions. 
    (d) The Secretary of State may issue a Senior Citizen

discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the 
State of
Illinois who is 60 years of age or older and who 
applies for such a card or
renewal thereof.  The Secretary of 
State shall charge no fee to issue such
card.  The card shall be 
issued in every county and applications shall be
made 
available at, but not limited to, nutrition sites, senior 
citizen
centers and Area Agencies on Aging.  The applicant, 
upon receipt of such
card and prior to its use for any purpose, 
shall have affixed thereon in
the space provided therefor his 
signature or mark.

    (e) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may 
designate on each Illinois
Identification Card or Illinois 
Person with a Disability Identification Card a space where the 
card holder may place a sticker or decal, issued by the 
Secretary of State, of uniform size as the Secretary may 
specify, that shall indicate in appropriate language that the 
card holder has renewed his or her Illinois
Identification 
Card or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card.
