Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code and the State Finance Act. Provides for issuance of a driver's certificate that states that it may not be accepted by a federal agency for a federal identification or other official purpose and uses a unique design or color indicator that visually distinguishes it from driver's licenses and permits. Provides that an applicant for a driver's certificate must: be at least 18 years of age; provide a valid federal individual tax identification number or social security number; provide a valid passport and additional specified documents; file proof provided to the applicant by the Illinois State Police that a set of the applicant's fingerprints has been collected; and surrender all false driver's licenses or State identification cards in the applicant's possession. Contains provisions regarding: destruction of certain documents; exchanges of information by the Secretary of State and the Illinois Department of Revenue and the Illinois State Police; applicability of the Code to a driver's certificate holder or applicant; mandatory insurance; review of a denial of a driver's certificate; other licenses and identification; photographs; fees; revocation; and other matters. Creates the Secretary of State Driver's Certificate Fund as a special fund in the State treasury and provides that the Fund shall be used for the increase in costs associated with additional applicants for driver's certificates and costs associated with specialized verification procedures regarding those applicants. Makes other changes. Makes certain provisions inoperative 5 years after the effective date of the amendatory Act but provides that a document issued under those provisions remains valid until the date on the document. Effective January 1, 2009.
