Provides for the expedited issuance of Illinois Identification Cards, and the fees to be charged by the Secretary of State for expedited issuance. Provides that the Secretary of State shall restrict the issuance of multiple Illinois Identification Cards and Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Cards to 3 per year and 10 total for the life of an individual, with discretion to grant exceptions to those limits.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that whenever any application to the Secretary of State for an identification card is accompanied by any fee, as required by law, and the application is denied after (rather than prior to) a review of eligibility, which may include facial recognition comparison (but not a social security number verification), the applicant shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid. Provides for the implementation of requirements for the expiration of identification cards and driver's licenses issued to non-United States citizens beginning (rather than by) July 1, 2016.
