Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that an insurer that issues a liability insurance policy for a vehicle shall issue to the policy holder an insurance window sticker as evidence that the vehicle is covered by the policy. Provides that rules adopted by the Secretary of State shall prescribe that an insurance window sticker contain the same information as is required on an insurance card and shall require that reasonable measures be taken to prevent the fraudulent production of insurance window stickers.

Provides that the display of a false insurance window sticker is a Class A misdemeanor. Provides that a person commits a Class 4 felony if he or she alters an invalid insurance window sticker to make it appear valid or knowingly makes, sells, or otherwise makes available an invalid or counterfeit insurance window sticker.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that the insurance window sticker is optional. Provides that the insurer may charge a fee for the insurance window sticker, if the consumer requests an insurance window sticker and the insurer does not provide an insurance window sticker as part of the insurance policy. Provides that the insurance window sticker, if issued, shall be permanently affixed to the lower right (instead of left) corner of the windshield of the vehicle. Provides that the insurance window sticker, if issued, shall contain the insurance company, policy number, period of coverage, and Vehicle Identification Number but may not contain any other personal information concerning the policyholder. Provides that neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the amendatory Act, but that the Governor may suggest rules by filing them with the General Assembly and requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking by law, enact the suggested rules into law, or take other appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion.
