Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 3-100.2.

Electronic access; agreements with
submitters.

(a) No later than July 1, 2022, the Secretary of State shall require a licensee under Chapter 3 or 5 of this Code to submit
any record required to be submitted to the Secretary of State by
using electronic media deemed feasible by the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State may also require the licensee to submit the original paper
record. The Secretary of State shall also require a
person or licensee to receive any record to be provided by the Secretary of State
by using electronic media deemed feasible by the Secretary of State,
instead of providing the original paper record.

(b) No later than July 1, 2022, electronic submittal, receipt, and delivery of records and electronic
signatures shall be supported by a signed agreement between the Secretary of State
and the submitter. The agreement shall require, at a minimum, each
record to include all information necessary to complete a
transaction, certification by the submitter upon its best knowledge as to the
truthfulness of
the data to be
submitted to the Secretary of State, and retention by the submitter of
supporting records.

(c) No later than July 1, 2022, the Secretary of State shall  establish  minimum
transaction volume levels, audit and security
standards, technological requirements, and other terms
and conditions he or she deems necessary for approval of the
electronic delivery process.

(d) When an agreement is made to accept  electronic
records, the Secretary of State shall not be required
to produce a written record for
the submitter with whom the Secretary of State has
the agreement until requested to do so by the submitter.

(e) No later than July 1, 2022, the Secretary of State shall
provide electronic notification to the
lienholder submitter to verify the notation and perfection of the lienholder's
security interest in a vehicle on the certificate of title required to be created as an
electronic record under Section 3-100.1. Upon receipt of an electronic message from a lienholder
submitter with a security interest in a vehicle for which the certificate of
title is an electronic record that the lien should be released, the Secretary
of State shall enter the appropriate electronic record of the release of lien
and print and mail a paper certificate of title to the owner or lienholder at
no expense.  The Secretary of State may also mail the certificate to any other
person that delivers to the Secretary of State an authorization from the owner
to receive the certificate.  If another lienholder holds a properly perfected
security interest in the vehicle as reflected in the records of the Secretary
of State, the certificate shall be delivered to that lienholder instead of the
owner.

(f) The Secretary may contract with a private contractor to carry out the Secretary's duties under this Section.
