    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 7-310 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/7-310)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 7-310)
    Sec. 7-310. Petition for discharge filed in bankruptcy. A
petition for discharge filed in bankruptcy following the
rendering of any judgment shall relieve the judgment debtor
from any of the requirements of this Chapter 7, except that the
judgment debtor's drivers license shall remain suspended and
may not be renewed, and the judgment debtor may not be issued a
license or registration, until the judgment debtor gives proof
of his or her financial responsibility in the future, as
provided in Section 1-164.5. The proof is to be maintained by
the judgment debtor, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary
of State, for a period of 3 years after the date on which the
proof is first filed.
    A petition for discharge filed in bankruptcy of the owner
or lessee of a commercial vehicle by whom the judgment debtor
is employed at the time of the motor vehicle accident that
gives rise to the judgment also shall relieve the judgment
debtor so employed from any of the requirements of this Chapter
7 if the discharge of the owner or lessee follows the rendering
of the judgment and if the judgment debtor so employed was
operating the commercial vehicle in connection with his regular
employment or occupation at the time of the accident. This
amendatory act of 1985 applies to all cases irrespective of
whether the accident giving rise to the suspension of license
or registration occurred before, on, or after its effective
date.
