    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
Sections 6-106, 6-110, and 6-510 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/6-106)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-106)
    Sec. 6-106. Application for license or instruction permit.
    (a) Every application for any permit or license authorized
to be issued under this Act shall be made upon a form furnished
by the Secretary of State. Every application shall be
accompanied by the proper fee and payment of such fee shall
entitle the applicant to not more than 3 attempts to pass the
examination within a period of 1 year after the date of
application.
    (b) Every application shall state the legal name, social
security number, zip code, date of birth, sex, and residence
address of the applicant; briefly describe the applicant; state
whether the applicant has theretofore been licensed as a
driver, and, if so, when and by what state or country, and
whether any such license has ever been cancelled, suspended,
revoked or refused, and, if so, the date and reason for such
cancellation, suspension, revocation or refusal; shall include
an affirmation by the applicant that all information set forth
is true and correct; and shall bear the applicant's signature.
In addition to the residence address, the Secretary may allow
the applicant to provide a mailing address. The application
form may also require the statement of such additional relevant
information as the Secretary of State shall deem necessary to
determine the applicant's competency and eligibility. The
Secretary of State may in his discretion substitute a federal
tax number in lieu of a social security number, or he may
instead assign an additional distinctive number in lieu
thereof, where an applicant is prohibited by bona fide
religious convictions from applying or is exempt from applying
for a social security number. The Secretary of State shall,
however, determine which religious orders or sects have such
bona fide religious convictions. The Secretary of State may, in
his discretion, by rule or regulation, provide that an
application for a drivers license or permit may include a
suitable photograph of the applicant in the form prescribed by
the Secretary, and he may further provide that each drivers
license shall include a photograph of the driver. The Secretary
of State may utilize a photograph process or system most
suitable to deter alteration or improper reproduction of a
drivers license and to prevent substitution of another photo
thereon.
    (c) The application form shall include a notice to the
applicant of the registration obligations of sex offenders
under the Sex Offender Registration Act. The notice shall be
provided in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of
State. For purposes of this subsection (c), "sex offender" has
the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2 of the Sex Offender
Registration Act.
    (d) Any male United States citizen or immigrant who applies
for any permit or license authorized to be issued under this
Act or for a renewal of any permit or license, and who is at
least 18 years of age but less than 26 years of age, must be
registered in compliance with the requirements of the federal
Military Selective Service Act. The Secretary of State must
forward in an electronic format the necessary personal
information regarding the applicants identified in this
subsection (d) to the Selective Service System. The applicant's
signature on the application serves as an indication that the
applicant either has already registered with the Selective
Service System or that he is authorizing the Secretary to
forward to the Selective Service System the necessary
information for registration. The Secretary must notify the
applicant at the time of application that his signature
constitutes consent to registration with the Selective Service
System, if he is not already registered.

    Licenses issued shall also indicate the classification and
the restrictions under Section 6-104 of this Code.
    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

        (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 covering the program.
    (a-3) If a graduated driver's license holder over the age
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.
    (a-4) If an applicant for a driver's license or instruction
permit has a current identification card issued by the
Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to
utilize the same residence address and name on the
identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit
records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may
promulgate rules to implement this provision.
    (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

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.

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.
