| ||||
| ||||
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 | ||||
Section 6-115 as follows:
| ||||
(625 ILCS 5/6-115) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-115)
| ||||
Sec. 6-115. Expiration of driver's license.
| ||||
(a) Except as provided elsewhere in this Section, every
| ||||
driver's license issued under the provisions of
this Code shall
| ||||
expire 4 years from the date of its issuance, or at such later
| ||||
date, as the Secretary of State may by proper rule and | ||||
regulation designate,
not to exceed 12 calendar months; in the | ||||
event
that an applicant for renewal of a driver's license fails
| ||||
to apply prior to
the expiration date of the previous driver's | ||||
license, the renewal driver's
license
shall expire 4 years from | ||||
the expiration date of the previous
driver's license, or at | ||||
such later date as the Secretary of State may
by proper rule | ||||
and
regulation designate, not to exceed 12 calendar months.
| ||||
The Secretary of State may, however, issue to a
person not | ||||
previously licensed as a driver in Illinois a driver's
license
| ||||
which will expire not less than 4 years nor more than 5
years | ||||
from date of
issuance, except as provided elsewhere in this | ||||
Section.
| ||||
The Secretary of State is authorized to issue driver's | ||
licenses during
the years 1984 through 1987 which shall expire | ||
not less than 3 years nor
more than 5 years from the date of | ||
issuance, except as provided elsewhere
in this Section, for the | ||
purpose of converting
all driver's licenses issued under this | ||
Code to a 4 year expiration. Provided
that all original | ||
driver's licenses, except as provided elsewhere in
this | ||
Section, shall expire not less than 4 years nor more than
5 | ||
years from the date of issuance.
| ||
(b) Before the expiration of a driver's license, except | ||
those
licenses expiring on the individual's 21st birthday, or 3 | ||
months after
the individual's 21st birthday, the holder thereof | ||
may apply for a renewal
thereof, subject to all the provisions | ||
of Section 6-103, and the Secretary
of State may require an | ||
examination of the applicant. A licensee
whose driver's license | ||
expires on his 21st birthday, or 3 months after
his 21st | ||
birthday, may not apply for a renewal of his driving privileges
| ||
until he reaches the age of 21.
| ||
(c) The Secretary of State shall, 30 days prior to the | ||
expiration of a
driver's license, forward to each person whose | ||
license
is to expire a
notification of the expiration of said | ||
license which may
be presented at the time of renewal of said | ||
license.
| ||
There may be included with such notification information | ||
explaining
the anatomical gift and Emergency Medical | ||
Information Card provisions of
Section 6-110. The format and | ||
text of such information
shall be prescribed by the Secretary.
| ||
There shall be included with such notification,
for a | ||
period of 4 years beginning January 1, 2000 information | ||
regarding the
Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical | ||
Information Exchange established in
Section 18.1 of the | ||
Adoption Act.
| ||
(d) The Secretary may defer the expiration of the driver's | ||
license
of a licensee, spouse, and dependent children who are | ||
living with such licensee
while on active duty, serving in the | ||
Armed Forces of the United
States outside of the State of | ||
Illinois, and 90
45 days thereafter, upon such
terms and | ||
conditions as the Secretary may prescribe.
| ||
(e) The Secretary of State may decline to process a renewal | ||
of a driver's
license
of any person who has not paid any fee or | ||
tax due under this Code and is not
paid upon reasonable notice | ||
and demand.
| ||
(f) The Secretary shall provide that each original or | ||
renewal driver's
license issued to a licensee under 21 years of | ||
age shall expire 3 months
after the licensee's 21st birthday. | ||
Persons whose current driver's licenses
expire on their 21st | ||
birthday on or after January 1, 1986 shall not renew their
| ||
driver's license before their 21st birthday, and their current | ||
driver's
license will be extended for an additional term of 3 | ||
months beyond their
21st birthday. Thereafter, the expiration | ||
and term of the driver's license
shall be governed by | ||
subsection (a) hereof.
| ||
(g) The Secretary shall provide that each original or | ||
renewal driver's
license issued to a licensee 81 years of age | ||
through age 86 shall expire 2
years from the date of issuance, | ||
or at such later date as the Secretary may
by rule and | ||
regulation designate, not to exceed an additional 12 calendar
| ||
months. The
Secretary shall also provide that each original or | ||
renewal driver's license
issued to a licensee 87 years of age | ||
or older shall expire 12 months from
the date of issuance, or | ||
at such later date as the Secretary may by rule
and regulation | ||
designate, not to exceed an additional 12 calendar months.
| ||
(h) The Secretary of State shall provide that each special
| ||
restricted driver's license issued under subsection (g) of | ||
Section
6-113 of this Code shall expire 12 months from the date | ||
of
issuance. The Secretary shall adopt rules defining renewal
| ||
requirements.
| ||
(i) The Secretary of State shall provide that each driver's | ||
license issued to a person convicted of a sex offense as | ||
defined in Section 2 of the Sex Offender Registration Act shall | ||
expire 12 months from the date of issuance or at such date as | ||
the Secretary may by rule designate, not to exceed an | ||
additional 12 calendar months. The Secretary may adopt rules | ||
defining renewal requirements.
