Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 1565

Amends the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that it is unlawful to possess, use, or allow to be used, any materials, hardware, or software specifically designed or primarily used for the reading of encrypted language from the bar code or magnetic strip of an official Illinois Identification Card, Disabled Person Identification Card, driver's license, or permit. Provides that, after a dealer buys a vehicle and holds it for resale, the dealer must procure the certificate of title from the owner or lienholder. Provides that the only vehicles that may be registered are those that (i) were originally manufactured for operation on highways, (ii) are modifications of those vehicles, or (iii) are assembled from parts intended for those vehicles. Deletes language providing that a person must notify the Secretary of State if he or she moves to an address other than the address shown on a certificate of title. Provides that a person may give other than a written notice of a change of address from that shown on a registration application or card. Provides that the Secretary of State may revoke or suspend the registration or certificate of title of a vehicle if the Secretary determines that any required fees have not been paid to the Illinois Department of Revenue under the Motor Fuel Tax Law, and the fees are not paid upon reasonable notice and demand. Provides that a vehicle owner and an insurance carrier may submit to the Secretary proof of insurance and notice of the cancellation of a policy, respectively, by electronic means. Deletes language requiring the Secretary to provide notice by certified mail to any person whose insurance security deposit must be claimed in 30 days to avoid forfeiture. Provides that any child under the age of 8 (rather than 6) riding in a vehicle must be secured in a proper child restraint system. Provides that a holder of a graduated driver's license under the age of 18 may not drive a vehicle unless all passengers under 18 are properly secured in seat belts and all children under 8 are secured as required. Repeals a provision providing that the Secretary shall receive a $2 filing fee for filing a notice or release of a security interest. Makes other changes.

Provides that the prohibition against possession, use, or allowing the use of any materials, hardware, or software specifically designed for or primarily used in the reading of encrypted language from the bar code or magnetic strip of an official Illinois Identification Card or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card does not apply if a federal or State law, rule, or regulation requires that the card holder's address be recorded in specified transactions or if the encrypted information is obtained for the detection or possible prosecution of criminal offenses or fraud. Provides that information obtained under these provisions may be used only for the purposes authorized by these provisions.
