| Public Act 099-0887 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 3-821.2 as follows: | ||||
(625 ILCS 5/3-821.2) | ||||
Sec. 3-821.2. Delinquent registration renewal fee. | ||||
(a) For registration renewal periods beginning on or after | ||||
January 1, 2005, the Secretary of State may impose a delinquent | ||||
registration renewal fee of $20 for the registration renewal of | ||||
all passenger vehicles of the first division and motor vehicles | ||||
of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds if | ||||
the application for registration renewal is received by the | ||||
Secretary more than one month after the expiration of the most | ||||
recent period during which the vehicle was registered. If a | ||||
delinquent registration renewal fee is imposed, the Secretary | ||||
shall not renew the registration of such a vehicle until the | ||||
delinquent registration renewal fee has been paid, in addition | ||||
to any other registration fees owed for the vehicle. Active | ||||
duty military personnel stationed outside of Illinois shall not | ||||
be required to pay the delinquent registration renewal fee. If | ||||
a delinquent registration renewal fee is imposed, the Secretary | ||||
shall adopt rules for the implementation of this Section. All | ||||
fees collected under this Section shall be deposited into the | ||
General Revenue Fund.
| ||
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), the | ||
Secretary of State shall not impose a delinquent registration | ||
renewal fee for the registration renewal of passenger vehicles | ||
of the first division and motor vehicles of the second division | ||
weighing not more than 8,000 pounds if a vehicle's registration | ||
expires during a period of time in which the Secretary is not | ||
sending registration renewal notices to owners of all of those | ||
vehicles with registration expiring at the same time as the | ||
applicable vehicle. It shall be an affirmative defense to a | ||
citation for an expired registration issued by any local, | ||
county, municipal, or State law enforcement agency within one | ||
month after the expiration of vehicle registration, that the | ||
expiration occurred during a period of time in which the | ||
Secretary was not sending registration renewal notices to | ||
owners of all passenger vehicles of the first division and | ||
motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more than | ||
8,000 pounds with registration expiring at the same time as the | ||
applicable vehicle. A computer print-out of a page from the | ||
Secretary of State's official website setting forth the | ||
calendar months in which registration renewal notices were not | ||
sent to all owners of passenger vehicles of the first division | ||
and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more | ||
than 8,000 pounds shall be admissible as evidence to establish | ||
the affirmative defense. The computer print-out shall be prima | ||
facie evidence of the correctness of the information contained | ||
in it. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 99th | ||
General Assembly apply only to vehicle registrations that | ||
expire on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||
the 99th General Assembly. | ||
The provisions of this subsection (b), other than this | ||
sentence, are inoperative on and after June 30, 2017. | ||

becoming law.
