 1        AN ACT to amend the Illinois  Vehicle  Code  by  changing
 2    Section 3-112.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is  amended  by
 6    changing Section 3-112 as follows:
 7        (625 ILCS 5/3-112) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-112)
 8        Sec.  3-112.  Transfer.  (a)  If  an  owner transfers his
 9    interest in a vehicle,  other  than  by  the  creation  of  a
10    security interest, at the time of the delivery of the vehicle
11    he shall execute to the transferee an assignment and warranty
12    of  title  in the space provided on the certificate of title,
13    or as the  Secretary  of  State  prescribes,  and  cause  the
14    certificate  and  assignment to be mailed or delivered to the
15    transferee or to the Secretary of State.
16        If the vehicle is subject to a tax under the Mobile  Home
17    Local  Services Tax Act in a county with a population of less
18    than  3,000,000,  the  owner  shall  also  provide   to   the
19    transferee  a certification by the treasurer of the county in
20    which the vehicle is situated that  all  taxes  owed  by  the
21    owner  for  the  vehicle  have  been paid.  If the owner is a
22    licensed dealer who has purchased the vehicle and is  holding
23    it  for resale, in lieu of acquiring a certification from the
24    county treasurer he shall forward the certification  received
25    from  the  previous  owner  to the next buyer of the vehicle.
26    The owner shall cause  the  certification  to  be  mailed  or
27    delivered  to  the Secretary of State with the certificate of
28    title and assignment. The treasurer of the  county  in  which
29    the  vehicle  is  situated  shall  charge  a  $5  fee for the
30    certification  required  under  this  paragraph.   All  funds
31    collected under this paragraph shall be  deposited  into  the
                            -2-                LRB9004589KDks
 1    Tax  Sale  Automation  Fund  created in Section 21-245 of the
 2    Property Tax Code.
 3        (b)  Except as provided in Section 3-113, the  transferee
 4    shall,  promptly and within 5 business days after delivery to
 5    him of the  vehicle  and  the  assigned  title,  execute  the
 6    application  for  a  new  certificate  of  title in the space
 7    provided therefor on the certificate or as the  Secretary  of
 8    State  prescribes,  and cause the certificate and application
 9    to be mailed or delivered to the Secretary of State.
10        (c)  Upon  request  of  the  owner   or   transferee,   a
11    lienholder  in  possession of the certificate of title shall,
12    unless the transfer was a breach of his  security  agreement,
13    either deliver the certificate to the transferee for delivery
14    to   the  Secretary  of  State  or,  upon  receipt  from  the
15    transferee  of  the  owner's  assignment,  the   transferee's
16    application  for a new certificate and the required fee, mail
17    or deliver them to the Secretary of State.  The  delivery  of
18    the  certificate does not affect the rights of the lienholder
19    under his security agreement.
20        (d)  If a security interest is reserved or created at the
21    time of the transfer,  the  certificate  of  title  shall  be
22    retained  by  or  delivered  to  the  person  who becomes the
23    lienholder, and the parties shall comply with the  provisions
24    of Section 3-203.
25        (e)  Except  as  provided in Section 3-113 and as between
26    the parties, a transfer by an owner is  not  effective  until
27    the  provisions  of  this Section and Section 3-115 have been
28    complied with; however, an owner who has delivered possession
29    of the vehicle to the transferee and has  complied  with  the
30    provisions of this Section and Section 3-115 requiring action
31    by  him  as  not  liable  as owner for any damages thereafter
32    resulting from operation of the vehicle.
33        (f)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  not  process   any
34    application for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle if any
                            -3-                LRB9004589KDks
 1    fees  or  taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the
 2    transferee have not been  paid  upon  reasonable  notice  and
 3    demand.
 4        (g)  If  the  Secretary  of State receives an application
 5    for transfer of a vehicle subject to a tax  under  the  Mobil
 6    Home  Local Services Tax Act in a county with a population of
 7    less than 3,000,000, such application must be accompanied  by
 8    the  required  certification  by  the county treasurer or tax
 9    assessor authorizing the issuance of the title.
10    (Source: P.A. 86-226; 86-460; 86-1028.)
