3 under Section 3-813 transporting asphalt or concrete in the
4 plastic state or a vehicle or combination of vehicles that
5 are subject to the gross weight limitations in subsection (b)
6 of Section 15-111 for which the owner of the vehicle or
7 combination of vehicles has elected to pay, in addition to
8 the registration fee in subsection (a), $125 to the Secretary
9 of State for each registration year. The Secretary shall
10 designate this class of vehicle as a Special Hauling Vehicle.
11 In preparing rate schedules on registration applications,
12 the Secretary of State shall add to the above rates, the $10
13 registration fee. The Secretary may decline to accept any
14 renewal filed after July 1st.
15 The number of axles necessary to carry the maximum load
16 provided shall be determined from Chapter 15 of this Code.
17 Every owner of a second division motor vehicle for which
18 he has elected to pay a mileage weight tax shall keep a daily
19 record upon forms prescribed by the Secretary of State,
20 showing the mileage covered by that vehicle in this State.
21 Such record shall contain the license number of the vehicle
22 and the miles traveled by the vehicle in this State for each
23 day of the calendar month. Such owner shall also maintain
24 records of fuel consumed by each such motor vehicle and fuel
25 purchases therefor. On or before the 10th day of January and
26 July the owner shall certify to the Secretary of State upon
27 forms prescribed therefor, summaries of his daily records
28 which shall show the miles traveled by the vehicle in this
29 State during the preceding 6 months and such other
30 information as the Secretary of State may require. The daily
31 record and fuel records shall be filed, preserved and
32 available for audit for a period of 3 years. Any owner filing
33 a return hereunder shall certify that such return is a true,
34 correct and complete return. Any person who willfully makes a
-5- LRB093 08472 LCB 08696 b
1 false return hereunder is guilty of perjury and shall be
2 punished in the same manner and to the same extent as is
3 provided therefor.
4 At the time of filing his return, each owner shall pay to
5 the Secretary of State the proper amount of tax at the rate
6 herein imposed.
7 Every owner of a vehicle of the second division who
8 elects to pay on a mileage weight tax basis and who operates
9 the vehicle within this State, shall file with the Secretary
10 of State a bond in the amount of $500. The bond shall be in
11 a form approved by the Secretary of State and with a surety
12 company approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance to
13 transact business in this State as surety, and shall be
14 conditioned upon such applicant's paying to the State of
15 Illinois all money becoming due by reason of the operation of
16 the second division vehicle in this State, together with all
17 penalties and interest thereon.
18 Upon notice from the Secretary that the registrant has
19 failed to pay the excess mileage fees, the surety shall
20 immediately pay the fees together with any penalties and
21 interest thereon in an amount not to exceed the limits of the
22 bond.
