the Secretary of
| 20 |
| State the valid foreign state identification card, license, or | 21 |
| permit. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | 22 |
| Secretary of State and shall include a photograph of the

| the Secretary of State.
| 10 |
| (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
| 11 |
| Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois | 12 |
| Disabled Person
Identification Card, to any natural person who | 13 |
| is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a disabled | 14 |
| person as defined in Section 4A of this Act,

| Section 4A of this Act. If the applicant so requests, the card | 2 |
| shall
include a description of the applicant's disability and | 3 |
| any information
about the applicant's disability or medical | 4 |
| history which the Secretary
determines would be helpful to the | 5 |
| applicant in securing emergency medical
care. The applicant, | 6 |
| upon receipt of such a card and prior to its use for
any | 7 |
| purpose, shall have affixed thereon in the space provided | 8 |
| therefor his
signature or mark. If a mark is used in lieu of a | 9 |
| signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card in the | 10 |
| presence of two witnesses who attest to
the authenticity of the | 11 |
| mark. The Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card may be | 12 |
| used for identification purposes
in any lawful situation by the | 13 |
| person to whom it was issued.
| 14 |
| The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be | 15 |
| used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of a | 16 |
| physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | 17 |
| disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | 18 |
| the authority to make this determination by his or her
| 19 |
| supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | 20 |
| advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | 21 |
| agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | 22 |
| advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| 23 |
| other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| 24 |
| requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | 25 |
| disability,
however an Illinois Disabled Person Identification | 26 |
| Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to participate in any |
