AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing | ||||
Sections 3-609 and 3-806.3 as follows:
| ||||
(625 ILCS 5/3-609) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-609)
| ||||
Sec. 3-609. Disabled Veterans' Plates. Any disabled | ||||
veteran who has
been or declared eligible for funds for the | ||||
purchase of a motor
vehicle of the first division or for a | ||||
motor vehicle of the second division
weighing not more than | ||||
8,000 pounds by the United States Federal Government
because of | ||||
his disability, may make application for the registration of | ||||
one
such vehicle, to the Secretary of State without the payment | ||||
of any
registration fee. Registration shall be for a multi-year | ||||
period effective
in 1980 and may be issued staggered | ||||
registration.
| ||||
Any disabled veteran of World War I, of World War II, of | ||||
the National
Emergency between June 25, 1950 and January 31, | ||||
1955 or of the period
beginning February 1, 1955 and ending on | ||||
the day before the first day
thereafter in which individuals | ||||
(other than individuals liable for
induction by reason of prior | ||||
deferment) are no longer liable for
induction for training and | ||||
service into the armed forces under the
Military Selective | ||||
Service Act of 1967, or of any armed conflict
involving the | ||
armed forces of the United States, who has a
service-connected | ||
disability of such a nature that it would, if it had
been | ||
incurred in World War II, have entitled him to be awarded an
| ||
automobile by the United States Federal Government, or who is | ||
receiving
compensation from the Veterans Administration for | ||
total service-connected
disability, may make application to | ||
the Secretary of State for the
registration of one motor | ||
vehicle of the first division without
accompanying such | ||
application with the payment of any fee.
| ||
Renewal of such registration must be accompanied with | ||
documentation
for eligibility of registration without fee | ||
unless the applicant has a
permanent qualifying disability, and | ||
such registration plates may not be
issued to any person not | ||
eligible therefor.
| ||
The Illinois Veterans Commission may assist in providing | ||
the
documentation of disability.
| ||
Commencing with the 2009 registration year, any person | ||
eligible to receive license plates under this Section who has | ||
been approved for benefits under the Senior Citizens and | ||
Disabled Persons Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical | ||
Assistance Act, or who has claimed and received a grant under | ||
that Act, shall pay a fee of $24 instead of the fee otherwise | ||
provided in this Code for passenger cars displaying standard | ||

for motor vehicles registered at 8,000 pounds or less under | ||
Section 3-815(a), or for recreational vehicles registered at | ||
