1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 changing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | 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 qualifying | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | applicant a
driver's license as applied for, which license | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | shall bear a
distinguishing
number assigned to the licensee, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | the legal name,
zip
code, date of birth, residence address, and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | a brief description of the
licensee, and
a space where the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | 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 any | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | motor vehicle during
any time the licensee is prohibited from | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | being on any street or highway
under the provisions of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Child Curfew Act.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | Licenses issued shall also indicate the classification and
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | the restrictions under Section 6-104 of this Code.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | In lieu of the social security number, the Secretary may in | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | his
discretion substitute a federal tax number or other | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | distinctive number.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | A driver's license issued may, in the discretion of the | ||||||
2 | Secretary,
include a suitable photograph of a type prescribed | ||||||
3 | by the Secretary.
| ||||||
4 | (b) Until the Secretary of State establishes a First Person | ||||||
5 | Consent organ and tissue donor registry under Section 6-117 of | ||||||
6 | this Code, the Secretary of State shall provide a format on the | ||||||
7 | reverse of
each driver's license issued which the licensee may | ||||||
8 | use to execute a document
of gift conforming to the provisions | ||||||
9 | of the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act.
The format shall allow the | ||||||
10 | licensee to indicate the gift intended, whether
specific | ||||||
11 | organs, any organ, or the entire body, and shall accommodate | ||||||
12 | the
signatures of the donor and 2 witnesses. The Secretary | ||||||
13 | shall also inform
each applicant or licensee of this format, | ||||||
14 | describe the procedure for its
execution, and may offer the | ||||||
15 | necessary witnesses; provided that in so doing,
the Secretary | ||||||
16 | shall advise the applicant or licensee that he or she is
under | ||||||
17 | no compulsion to execute a document of gift. A brochure
| ||||||
18 | explaining this method of executing an anatomical gift document | ||||||
19 | shall be given
to each applicant or licensee. The brochure | ||||||
20 | shall advise the applicant or
licensee that he or she is under | ||||||
21 | no compulsion to execute a document of
gift, and that he or she | ||||||
22 | may wish to consult with family, friends or clergy
before doing | ||||||
23 | so. The Secretary of State may undertake additional efforts,
| ||||||
24 | including education and awareness activities, to promote organ | ||||||
25 | and tissue
donation.
| ||||||
26 | (c) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | license issued
a space where the licensee may place a sticker | ||||||
2 | or decal of the uniform
size as the Secretary may specify, | ||||||
3 | which sticker or decal may indicate in
appropriate language | ||||||
4 | that the owner of the license carries an Emergency
Medical | ||||||
5 | Information Card.
| ||||||
6 | The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital, | ||||||
7 | school,
medical group, or association interested in assisting | ||||||
8 | in implementing
the Emergency Medical Information Card, but | ||||||
9 | shall meet the specifications
as the Secretary may by rule or | ||||||
10 | regulation require.
| ||||||
11 | (d) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's | ||||||
12 | license issued
a space where the licensee may indicate his | ||||||
13 | blood type and RH factor.
| ||||||
14 | (e) The Secretary of State shall provide
that each original | ||||||
15 | or renewal driver's license issued to a licensee under
21 years | ||||||
16 | of age shall be of a distinct nature from those driver's | ||||||
17 | licenses
issued to individuals 21 years of age and older. The | ||||||
18 | color designated for
driver's licenses for licensees under 21 | ||||||
19 | years of age shall be at the
discretion of the Secretary of | ||||||
20 | State.
| ||||||
21 | (e-1) The Secretary shall provide that each driver's | ||||||
22 | license issued to a
person under the age of 21 displays the | ||||||
23 | date upon which the person becomes 18
years of age and the date | ||||||
24 | upon which the person becomes 21 years of age.
| ||||||
25 | (f) The Secretary of State shall inform all Illinois | ||||||
26 | licensed
commercial motor vehicle operators of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | requirements of the Uniform
Commercial Driver License Act, | ||||||
2 | Article V of this Chapter, and shall make
provisions to insure | ||||||
3 | that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial
driver's | ||||||
4 | license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
| ||||||
5 | obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
| ||||||
6 | driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times, | ||||||
7 | dates and
locations where these commercial driver's tests shall | ||||||
8 | be conducted. Any
applicant, regardless of the current | ||||||
9 | expiration date of the applicant's
driver's license, may be | ||||||
10 | subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
Failure to comply | ||||||
11 | with the Secretary's assignment may result in the
applicant's | ||||||
12 | forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a commercial driver's
| ||||||
13 | license prior to April 1, 1992.
| ||||||
14 | (g) The Secretary of State shall designate on a
driver's | ||||||
15 | license issued, a space where the licensee may indicate that he | ||||||
16 | or
she has drafted a living will in accordance with the | ||||||
17 | Illinois Living Will
Act or a durable power of attorney for | ||||||
18 | health care in accordance with the
Illinois Power of Attorney | ||||||
19 | Act.
| ||||||
20 | (g-1) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may | ||||||
21 | designate on
each driver's license issued a space where the | ||||||
22 | licensee may place a sticker or
decal, issued by the Secretary | ||||||
23 | of State, of uniform size as the Secretary may
specify, that | ||||||
24 | shall indicate in appropriate language that the owner of the
| ||||||
25 | license has renewed his or her driver's license. | ||||||
26 | (g-5) The Secretary of State shall designate on each |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | driver's license issued a space where the licensee may indicate | ||||||
2 | whether or not the words "Do not resuscitate." shall appear.
| ||||||
3 | (h) A person who acts in good faith in accordance with the | ||||||
4 | terms of
this Section is not liable for damages in any civil | ||||||
5 | action or subject to
prosecution in any criminal proceeding for | ||||||
6 | his or her act.
