| ||||
Sec. 6-110. Licenses issued to drivers.
| ||||
(a) The Secretary of State shall issue to every qualifying | ||||
applicant a
driver's license as applied for, which license | ||||
shall bear a
distinguishing
number assigned to the licensee, | ||||
the legal name,
zip

| ||||
Licenses issued shall also indicate the classification and
| ||||

| ||||
In lieu of the social security number, the Secretary may in | ||||
his
discretion substitute a federal tax number or other | ||||
distinctive number.
| ||||
A driver's license issued may, in the discretion of the | ||||
Secretary,
include a suitable photograph of a type prescribed | ||||

| ||||
(a-1) If the licensee is less than 18 years of age, unless | ||||

(a-2) The driver's license of a person under the age of 18 | ||
shall not be invalid as described in subsection (a-1) of this | ||
Section if the licensee under the age of 18 was: | ||

(a-2.5) The driver's license of a person who is 17 years of | ||
age and has been licensed for at least 12 months is not invalid | ||
as described in subsection (a-1) of this Section while the | ||
licensee is participating as an assigned driver in a Safe Rides | ||
program that meets the following criteria: | ||
(1) the program is sponsored by the Boy Scouts of | ||
America or another national public service organization; | ||
and | ||
(2) the sponsoring organization carries liability insurance | ||

of 18 committed an offense against traffic regulations | ||
governing the movement of vehicles or any violation of Section | ||
6-107 or Section 12-603.1 of this Code in the 6 months prior to | ||
the graduated driver's license holder's 18th birthday, and was | ||
subsequently convicted of the offense, the provisions of | ||
subsection (a-1) shall continue to apply until such time as a | ||
period of 6 consecutive months has elapsed without an | ||
additional violation and subsequent conviction of an offense | ||
against traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles | ||
or Section 6-107 or Section 12-603.1 of this Code.
| ||
(b) Until the Secretary of State establishes a First Person | ||
Consent organ and tissue donor registry under Section 6-117 of | ||
this Code, the Secretary of State shall provide a format on the | ||
reverse of
each driver's license issued which the licensee may | ||
use to execute a document
of gift conforming to the provisions | ||
of the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act.
The format shall allow the | ||
licensee to indicate the gift intended, whether
specific | ||
organs, any organ, or the entire body, and shall accommodate | ||
the
signatures of the donor and 2 witnesses. The Secretary | ||
shall also inform
each applicant or licensee of this format, | ||
describe the procedure for its
execution, and may offer the | ||
necessary witnesses; provided that in so doing,
the Secretary | ||
shall advise the applicant or licensee that he or she is
under | ||
no compulsion to execute a document of gift. A brochure
| ||
explaining this method of executing an anatomical gift document | ||
shall be given
to each applicant or licensee. The brochure | ||
shall advise the applicant or
licensee that he or she is under | ||
no compulsion to execute a document of
gift, and that he or she | ||
may wish to consult with family, friends or clergy
before doing | ||
so. The Secretary of State may undertake additional efforts,
| ||
including education and awareness activities, to promote organ | ||
and tissue
donation.
| ||
(c) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's | ||
license issued
a space where the licensee may place a sticker | ||
or decal of the uniform
size as the Secretary may specify, | ||
which sticker or decal may indicate in
appropriate language | ||
that the owner of the license carries an Emergency
Medical | ||
Information Card.
| ||
The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital, | ||
school,
medical group, or association interested in assisting | ||
in implementing
the Emergency Medical Information Card, but | ||
shall meet the specifications
as the Secretary may by rule or | ||
regulation require.
| ||
(d) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's | ||
license issued
a space where the licensee may indicate his | ||
blood type and RH factor.
| ||
(e) The Secretary of State shall provide
that each original | ||
or renewal driver's license issued to a licensee under
21 years | ||
of age shall be of a distinct nature from those driver's | ||
licenses
issued to individuals 21 years of age and older. The | ||
color designated for
driver's licenses for licensees under 21 | ||
years of age shall be at the
discretion of the Secretary of | ||
State.
| ||
(e-1) The Secretary shall provide that each driver's | ||
license issued to a
person under the age of 21 displays the | ||
date upon which the person becomes 18
years of age and the date | ||
upon which the person becomes 21 years of age.
| ||
(f) The Secretary of State shall inform all Illinois | ||
licensed
commercial motor vehicle operators of the | ||
requirements of the Uniform
Commercial Driver License Act, | ||
Article V of this Chapter, and shall make
provisions to insure | ||
that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial
driver's | ||
license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
| ||
obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
| ||
driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times, | ||
dates and
locations where these commercial driver's tests shall | ||
be conducted. Any
applicant, regardless of the current | ||
expiration date of the applicant's
driver's license, may be | ||
subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
Failure to comply | ||
with the Secretary's assignment may result in the
applicant's | ||
forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a commercial driver's
| ||
license prior to April 1, 1992.
| ||
(g) The Secretary of State shall designate on a
driver's | ||
license issued, a space where the licensee may indicate that he | ||
or
she has drafted a living will in accordance with the | ||
Illinois Living Will
Act or a durable power of attorney for | ||
health care in accordance with the
Illinois Power of Attorney | ||
Act.
| ||
(g-1) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may | ||
designate on
each driver's license issued a space where the | ||
licensee 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 owner of the
| ||
license has renewed his or her driver's license.
| ||
(h) A person who acts in good faith in accordance with the | ||
terms of
this Section is not liable for damages in any civil | ||
action or subject to
prosecution in any criminal proceeding for | ||
his or her act.
