1 AN ACT in relation to driver licensing.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5 changing Section 6-110 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/6-110) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-110)
7 Sec. 6-110. Licenses issued to drivers.
8 (a) The Secretary of State shall issue to every
9 qualifying applicant a driver's license as applied for, which
10 license shall bear a distinguishing number assigned to the
11 licensee, the name, social security number, zip code, date of
12 birth, address, and a brief description of the licensee, and
13 a space where the licensee may write his usual signature.
14 If the licensee is less than 17 years of age, the license
15 shall, as a matter of law, be invalid for the operation of
16 any motor vehicle during any time the licensee is prohibited
17 from being on any street or highway under the provisions of
18 the Child Curfew Act.
19 Licenses issued shall also indicate the classification
20 and the restrictions under Section 6-104 of this Code.
21 In lieu of the social security number, the Secretary may
22 in his or her discretion substitute a federal tax number or
23 other distinctive number.
24 A driver's license issued may, in the discretion of the
25 Secretary, include a suitable photograph of a type prescribed
26 by the Secretary.
27 (b) The Secretary of State shall provide a format on the
28 reverse of each driver's license issued which the licensee
29 may use to execute a document of gift conforming to the
30 provisions of the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. The format
31 shall allow the licensee to indicate the gift intended,
-2- LRB093 06951 DRH 07097 b
1 whether specific organs, any organ, or the entire body, and
2 shall accommodate the signatures of the donor and 2
3 witnesses. The Secretary shall also inform each applicant or
4 licensee of this format, describe the procedure for its
5 execution, and may offer the necessary witnesses; provided
6 that in so doing, the Secretary shall advise the applicant or
7 licensee that he or she is under no compulsion to execute a
8 document of gift. A brochure explaining this method of
9 executing an anatomical gift document shall be given to each
10 applicant or licensee. The brochure shall advise the
11 applicant or licensee that he or she is under no compulsion
12 to execute a document of gift, and that he or she may wish to
13 consult with family, friends or clergy before doing so. The
14 Secretary of State may undertake additional efforts,
15 including education and awareness activities, to promote
16 organ and tissue donation.
17 (c) The Secretary of State shall designate on each
18 driver's license issued a space where the licensee may place
19 a sticker or decal of the uniform size as the Secretary may
20 specify, which sticker or decal may indicate in appropriate
21 language that the owner of the license carries an Emergency
22 Medical Information Card.
23 The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital,
24 school, medical group, or association interested in assisting
25 in implementing the Emergency Medical Information Card, but
26 shall meet the specifications as the Secretary may by rule or
27 regulation require.
28 (d) The Secretary of State shall designate on each
29 driver's license issued a space where the licensee may
30 indicate his blood type and RH factor.
31 (e) The Secretary of State shall provide that each
32 original or renewal driver's license issued to a licensee
33 under 21 years of age shall be of a distinct nature from
34 those driver's licenses issued to individuals 21 years of age

1 and older. The color designated for driver's licenses for
2 licensees under 21 years of age shall be at the discretion of
3 the Secretary of State.
4 (e-1) The Secretary shall provide that each driver's
5 license issued to a person under the age of 21 displays the
6 date upon which the person becomes 18 years of age and the
7 date upon which the person becomes 21 years of age.
8 (f) The Secretary of State shall inform all Illinois
9 licensed commercial motor vehicle operators of the
10 requirements of the Uniform Commercial Driver License Act,
11 Article V of this Chapter, and shall make provisions to
12 insure that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial
13 driver's license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April
14 1, 1992, to obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized
15 to extend driver's license expiration dates, and assign
16 specific times, dates and locations where these commercial
17 driver's tests shall be conducted. Any applicant, regardless
18 of the current expiration date of the applicant's driver's
19 license, may be subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
20 Failure to comply with the Secretary's assignment may result
21 in the applicant's forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a
22 commercial driver's license prior to April 1, 1992.
23 (g) The Secretary of State shall designate on a driver's
24 license issued, a space where the licensee may indicate that
25 he or she has drafted a living will in accordance with the
26 Illinois Living Will Act or a durable power of attorney for
27 health care in accordance with the Illinois Power of Attorney
28 Act.
29 (g-1) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion,
30 may designate on each driver's license issued a space where
31 the licensee may place a sticker or decal, issued by the
32 Secretary of State, of uniform size as the Secretary may
33 specify, that shall indicate in appropriate language that the
34 owner of the license has renewed his or her driver's license.
