26    owner  must also pay in addition to the reclassification fee,
27    an additional amount equal to the difference  resulting  from
28    the extension of the expiration date of the new calendar year
29    registration.   In  the  event that any owner of a vehicle of
30    the second division wishes to or is required to reclassify  a
31    vehicle  from  a  calendar  year  to a fiscal year basis, the
32    owner must also pay in addition to the reclassification  fee,

 1        (d)  In  the  event  that  the  privileges  of  a  person
 2    eligible  for  a  special  plate  as a Disabled Veteran under
 3    Section 3-609 terminate during any  registration  year,  such
 4    person   must  file  for  reclassification  of  such  special
 5    registration and pay the higher fees or  taxes  required  for
 6    such vehicles under Section 3-806 and shall pay in addition a
 7    reclassification fee of $3.
 8        (e)  In  the  event  that  the  registration of a vehicle
 9    under the mileage weight tax option as specified  in  Section
10    3-818  has  been  revoked, such vehicle shall not be eligible
11    for reclassification of such registration to  a  flat  weight
12    tax  option  under Sections 3-815 or 3-818. The owner of that
13    vehicle shall however be eligible for a credit of $10 for the
14    registration  fee  specified   under   Section   3-813   when
15    reregistering such vehicle as required by law.
16        (f)  Reclassification of a registration of a vehicle from
17    one  class  to  another  may  be  made  only  once within any
18    registration year or period. No  refunds  may  be  made  when
19    reclassifying under any circumstances.
20        (g)  In  the  event  the owner of a vehicle of the second
21    division elects or is required  to  reclassify  such  vehicle
22    from   a   fiscal   year  registration  to  a  calendar  year
23    registration under the International Registration Plan as set
24    forth in Sec. 3-402.1 of this Act,  the  owner  shall  pay  a
25    reclassification fee of $3.00 in addition to any other fee or
26    fees  required  under this Act, and said owner may thereby be
27    entitled to  a  refund  not  to  exceed  50%  of  the  fiscal
28    registration  fee,  less  the  reclassification fees or taxes
29    which  may be due the State of Illinois under  this  Act  and
30    under the International Registration Plan.
31        The  Secretary  of State may deny any applicant the right
32    of reclassification under this subsection if the Secretary of
33    State determines that  the  applicant  is  not  eligible  for
34    registration or reclassification under said Plan.
35        (h)  From   July  1  through  December  31  of  the  1983

 6    for the vehicle and the new flat weight tax  fee  into  which
 7    the vehicle is being reclassified.
 8        (i)  From   January   1  through  June  30  of  the  1984
 9    registration year, an owner  registering  a  second  division
10    vehicle  on  a  fiscal  year  basis into the "X", "Z" or "TN"
11    category shall pay, in addition to any  fees  required  under
12    Section  3-802,  an  amount  equal  to  50% of the difference
13    between the most recent flat weight tax fee paid by the owner
14    for the vehicle and the new flat weight tax  fee  into  which
15    the vehicle is being reclassified.
16        (j)  In  the  event that any owner of a passenger vehicle
17    or a second division vehicle weighing 8,000  pounds  or  less
18    desires to transfer the registration thereof to the different
19    division,  then  such owner must pay the additional amount of
20    fees or taxes due, if applicable, and shall, in addition, pay
21    a reclassification fee of $3 in the  event  that  new  plates
22    have to be issued to replace the old plates.
