4     or employee determines that the vehicle identification
5     number, Secretary of State identification number, Illinois
6     Department of State Police identification number,
7     identification plate or identification sticker containing
8     an identification number, or Federal Certificate label of
9     an essential part has been removed, falsified, altered,
10     defaced, destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or agent
11     shall not accept or receive that part.
12         If that part was physically acquired by or delivered to
13     a licensee or his agent or employee while that licensee,
14     agent or employee was outside this State, that licensee or
15     agent or employee shall not bring that essential part into
16     this State or cause it to be brought into this State.
17         (2) If the person disposing of or delivering the
18     essential part to the licensee is a licensed in-state or
19     out-of-state dealer, the licensee or his agent or employee,
20     after inspecting the essential part as required by
21     paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), shall examine the
22     Uniform Invoice, or bill of sale, as the case may be, to
23     ensure that it contains all the information required to be
24     provided by persons disposing of essential parts as set
25     forth in subsection (b) of this Section. If the Uniform
26     Invoice or bill of sale does not contain all the

 

 

HB0183 - 18 - LRB096 03405 AJT 13428 b

1     information required to be listed by subsection (b) of this
2     Section, the dealer disposing of or delivering such part or
3     his agent or employee shall record such additional
4     information or other needed modifications on the Uniform
5     Invoice or bill of sale or, if needed, an attachment
6     thereto. The dealer or his agent or employee delivering the
7     essential part shall initial all additions or
8     modifications to the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale and
9     legibly print his name at the bottom of each document
10     containing his initials. If the transaction involves a bill
11     of sale rather than a Uniform Invoice, the licensee or his
12     agent or employee accepting delivery of or acquiring the
13     essential part shall affix his printed name and legible
14     signature on the space on the bill of sale provided for his
15     signature or, if no space is provided, on the back of the
16     bill of sale. If the dealer or his agent or employee
17     disposing of or delivering the essential part cannot or
18     does not provide all the information required by subsection
19     (b) of this Section, the licensee or his agent or employee
20     shall not accept or receive any essential part for which
21     that required information is not provided. If such
22     essential part for which the information required is not
23     fully provided was physically acquired while the licensee
24     or his agent or employee was outside this State, the
25     licensee or his agent or employee shall not bring that
26     essential part into this State or cause it to be brought

 

 

HB0183 - 19 - LRB096 03405 AJT 13428 b

1     into this State.
2         (3) If the person disposing of the essential part is
3     not a licensed dealer, the licensee or his agent or
4     employee shall, after inspecting the essential part as
5     required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Section
6     verify the identity of the person disposing of the
7     essential part by examining 2 sources of identification,
8     one of which shall be either a driver's license or state
9     identification card. The licensee or his agent or employee
10     shall then prepare a Uniform Invoice listing all the
11     information required to be provided by subsection (b) of
12     this Section. In the space on the Uniform Invoice provided
13     for the dealer license number of the person disposing of
14     the part, the licensee or his agent or employee shall list
15     the numbers taken from the documents of identification
16     provided by the person disposing of the part. The person
17     disposing of the part shall affix his printed name and
18     legible signature on the space on the Uniform Invoice
19     provided for the person disposing of the essential part and
20     the licensee or his agent or employee acquiring the part
21     shall affix his printed name and legible signature on the
22     space provided on the Uniform Invoice for the person
23     acquiring the essential part. If the person disposing of
24     the essential part cannot or does not provide all the
25     information required to be provided by this paragraph, or
26     does not present 2 satisfactory forms of identification,

 

 

HB0183 - 20 - LRB096 03405 AJT 13428 b

1     the licensee or his agent or employee shall not acquire
2     that essential part.
3     (d) If an essential part other than quarter panels and
4 transmissions of vehicles of the first division was delivered
5 by a licensed commercial delivery service delivering such part
6 on behalf of a licensed dealer, the person required to comply
7 with subsection (c) of this Section may conduct the inspection
8 of that part required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) and
9 examination of the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale required by
10 paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section immediately
11 after the acceptance of the part.
12         (1) If the inspection of the essential part pursuant to
13     paragraph (1) of subsection (c) reveals that the vehicle
14     identification number, Secretary of State identification
15     number, Illinois Department of State Police identification
16     number, identification plate or sticker containing an
17     identification number, or Federal Certificate label of an
18     essential part has been removed, falsified, altered,
19     defaced, destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or his
20     agent shall immediately record such fact on the Uniform
21     Invoice or bill of sale, assign the part an inventory or
22     stock number, place such inventory or stock number on both
23     the essential part and the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale,
24     and record the date of the inspection of the part on the
25     Uniform Invoice or bill of sale. The licensee shall, within
26     7 days of such inspection, return such part to the dealer

 

 

HB0183 - 21 - LRB096 03405 AJT 13428 b

1     from whom it was acquired.
2         (2) If the examination of the Uniform Invoice or bill
3     of sale pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (c) reveals
4     that any of the information required to be listed by
5     subsection (b) of this Section is missing, the licensee or
6     person required to be licensed shall immediately assign a
7     stock or inventory number to such part, place such stock or
8     inventory number on both the essential part and the Uniform
9     Invoice or bill of sale, and record the date of examination
10     on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale. The licensee or
11     person required to be licensed shall acquire the
12     information missing from the Uniform Invoice or bill of
13     sale within 7 days of the examination of such Uniform
14     Invoice or bill of sale. Such information may be received
15     by telephone conversation with the dealer from whom the
16     part was acquired. If the dealer provides the missing
17     information the licensee shall record such information on
18     the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale along with the name of
19     the person providing the information. If the dealer does
20     not provide the required information within the
21     aforementioned 7 day period, the licensee shall return the
22     part to that dealer.
23     (e) Except for scrap processors, all persons licensed or
24 required to be licensed who acquire or dispose of essential
25 parts other than quarter panels and transmissions of vehicles
26 of the first division shall retain a copy of the Uniform

 

 

HB0183 - 22 - LRB096 03405 AJT 13428 b

13 receiving, issuing, or executing a Uniform Invoice reflecting
14 that transaction as required by subsections (a), (b) and (c) of
15 this Section, or who brings or causes to be brought into this
16 State essential parts for which the information required to be
17 recorded on a Uniform Invoice is not recorded as prohibited by
18 subsection (c) of this Section, or who knowingly fails to
19 comply with the provisions of this Section in any other manner
20 shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony. Each violation shall
21 constitute a separate and distinct offense and a separate count
22 may be brought in the same indictment or information for each
23 essential part for which a record was not kept as required by
24 this Section or for which the person failed to comply with
25 other provisions of this Section.
