 6        vehicles. As evidence of this fact, the application shall
 7        be accompanied by  a  signed  statement  from  each  such
 8        manufacturer or franchised distributor.  If the applicant

18        for registration under the Retailers' Occupation Tax  Act

24        accompanied by a certification  from  the  Department  of
25        Revenue  showing  that  that  Department has approved the

HB4975 Enrolled            -3-                 LRB9215737LDtm
 1        $100,000 for bodily injury to, or death of,  any  person,

 3        persons in any one accident, and $50,000  for  damage  to
 4        property.   Such  policy  shall  expire  not  sooner than
 5        December 31 of the year for which the license was  issued
 6        or renewed.  The expiration of the insurance policy shall
 7        not  terminate  the  liability  under  the policy arising
 8        during  the  period  for  which  the  policy  was  filed.
 9        Trailer and mobile home  dealers  are  exempt  from  this
10        requirement.
11             If  the  permitted  user  has  a liability insurance
12        policy  that  provides  automobile  liability   insurance
13        coverage of at least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the
14        death of any person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the
15        death  of  any 2 or more persons in any one accident, and
16        $50,000 for damage to property, then the permitted user's
17        insurer shall be the primary  insurer  and  the  dealer's
18        insurer  shall be the secondary insurer. If the permitted
19        user does not have  a  liability  insurance  policy  that
20        provides  automobile  liability  insurance coverage of at
21        least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the death  of  any
22        person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any
23        2  or  more  persons in any one accident, and $50,000 for
24        damage to property, or does not  have  any  insurance  at
25        all,  then  the  dealer's  insurer  shall  be the primary
26        insurer and the permitted user's  insurer  shall  be  the
27        secondary insurer.
28             When  a  permitted  user   is  "test  driving" a new
29        vehicle dealer's automobile,  the  new  vehicle  dealer's
30        insurance  shall  be  primary  and  the  permitted user's
31        insurance shall be secondary.
32             As used in this paragraph 6, a "permitted user" is a
33        person who, with the permission of the new vehicle dealer
34        or an employee  of  the  new  vehicle  dealer,  drives  a

 2        vehicle  dealer  which  the  person  is  considering   to
 3        purchase  or lease, in order to evaluate the performance,
 4        reliability,  or  condition  of  the  vehicle.  The  term
 5        "permitted user" also includes a  person  who,  with  the
 6        permission  of  the  new vehicle dealer, drives a vehicle
 7        owned or held for sale or lease by the new vehicle dealer
 8        for loaner purposes while the  user's  vehicle  is  being
 9        repaired or evaluated.
10             As  used  in this paragraph 6, "test driving" occurs
11        when a permitted user who, with the permission of the new
12        vehicle dealer or an employee of the new vehicle  dealer,
13        drives  a  vehicle  owned and held for sale or lease by a
14        new vehicle dealer that  the  person  is  considering  to
15        purchase  or lease, in order to evaluate the performance,
16        reliability, or condition of the vehicle.
17             As used in this paragraph 6, "loaner purposes" means
18        when a person who, with the permission of the new vehicle
19        dealer, drives a vehicle owned or held for sale or  lease
20        by  the  new  vehicle  dealer while the user's vehicle is
21        being repaired or evaluated.

 7    paragraph (j) of this Section and  rebuilt  salvage  vehicles

12    or intends to so engage in such business unless  licensed  to
13    do  so by the Secretary of State under the provisions of this
14    Section.
15        (b)  An application for a used vehicle  dealer's  license
16    shall  be filed with the Secretary of State, duly verified by
17    oath, in such form as the Secretary of State may by  rule  or

24        percent or greater ownership interest in the corporation,

 1        hereunder  with the Secretary of State, and who is merely
 2        applying for a renewal of his  license.  As  evidence  of
 3        this  fact,  the  application  shall  be accompanied by a
 4        certification from the Department of Revenue showing that
 5        the   Department   has   approved   the   applicant   for
 6        registration under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
 7             4.  A statement that the applicant has complied with
 8        the  appropriate  liability  insurance  requirement.    A

11        with each application covering each location at which  he
12        proposes  to  act  as  a used vehicle dealer.  The policy
13        must provide liability coverage in the minimum amounts of
14        $100,000 for bodily injury to, or death of,  any  person,
15        $300,000  for  bodily injury to, or death of, two or more
16        persons in any one accident, and $50,000  for  damage  to
17        property.   Such  policy  shall  expire  not  sooner than
18        December 31 of the year for which the license was  issued
19        or renewed.  The expiration of the insurance policy shall
20        not  terminate  the  liability  under  the policy arising
21        during  the  period  for  which  the  policy  was  filed.
22        Trailer and mobile home  dealers  are  exempt  from  this
23        requirement.
24             If  the  permitted  user  has  a liability insurance
25        policy  that  provides  automobile  liability   insurance
26        coverage of at least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the
27        death of any person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the
28        death  of  any 2 or more persons in any one accident, and
29        $50,000 for damage to property, then the permitted user's
30        insurer shall be the primary  insurer  and  the  dealer's
31        insurer  shall be the secondary insurer. If the permitted
32        user does not have  a  liability  insurance  policy  that
33        provides  automobile  liability  insurance coverage of at
34        least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the death  of  any
 
HB4975 Enrolled            -12-                LRB9215737LDtm
 1        person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any
 2        2  or  more  persons in any one accident, and $50,000 for
 3        damage to property, or does not  have  any  insurance  at
 4        all,  then  the  dealer's  insurer  shall  be the primary
 5        insurer and the permitted user's  insurer  shall  be  the
 6        secondary insurer.
 7             When  a  permitted  user  is  "test  driving" a used
 8        vehicle dealer's automobile, the  used  vehicle  dealer's
 9        insurance  shall  be  primary  and  the  permitted user's
10        insurance shall be secondary.
11             As used in this paragraph 4, a "permitted user" is a
12        person who, with  the  permission  of  the  used  vehicle
13        dealer  or an employee of the used vehicle dealer, drives
14        a vehicle owned and held for sale or lease  by  the  used
15        vehicle   dealer  which  the  person  is  considering  to
16        purchase or lease, in order to evaluate the  performance,
17        reliability,  or  condition  of  the  vehicle.  The  term
18        "permitted  user"  also  includes  a person who, with the
19        permission of the used vehicle dealer, drives  a  vehicle
20        owned  or  held  for  sale  or  lease by the used vehicle
21        dealer for loaner purposes while the  user's  vehicle  is
22        being repaired or evaluated.
23             As  used  in this paragraph 4, "test driving" occurs
24        when a permitted user who, with  the  permission  of  the
25        used  vehicle  dealer  or an employee of the used vehicle
26        dealer, drives a vehicle owned and held for sale or lease
27        by a used vehicle dealer that the person  is  considering
28        to   purchase   or   lease,  in  order  to  evaluate  the
29        performance, reliability, or condition of the vehicle.
30             As used in this paragraph 4, "loaner purposes" means
31        when a person  who,  with  the  permission  of  the  used
32        vehicle  dealer,  drives a vehicle owned or held for sale
33        or lease by the used  vehicle  dealer  while  the  user's
34        vehicle is being repaired or evaluated.

10        of  business,  if any, to which the application pertains.
