2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:

5 changing Sections 6-109, 6-115, and 6-118 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/6-109) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-109)
7 Sec. 6-109. Examination of Applicants.
8 (a) The Secretary of State shall examine every applicant
9 for a driver's license or permit who has not been previously
10 licensed as a driver under the laws of this State or any
11 other state or country, or any applicant for renewal of such
12 driver's license or permit when such license or permit has
13 been expired for more than one year. The Secretary of State
14 shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c), examine
15 every licensed driver at least every 10 8 years, and may
16 examine or re-examine any other applicant or licensed driver,
17 provided that during the years 1984 through 1991 those
18 drivers issued a license for 3 years may be re-examined not
19 less than every 7 years or more than every 10 years.
20 The Secretary of State shall require the testing of the
21 eyesight of any driver's license or permit applicant who has
22 not been previously licensed as a driver under the laws of
23 this State and shall promulgate rules and regulations to
24 provide for the orderly administration of all the provisions
25 of this Section.
26 (b) Except as provided for those applicants in paragraph
27 (c), such examination shall include a test of the applicant's
28 eyesight, his ability to read and understand official traffic
29 control devices, his knowledge of safe driving practices and
30 the traffic laws of this State, and may include an actual
31 demonstration of the applicant's ability to exercise ordinary
-2- LRB9201967DHmg
1 and reasonable control of the operation of a motor vehicle,
2 and such further physical and mental examination as the
3 Secretary of State finds necessary to determine the
4 applicant's fitness to operate a motor vehicle safely on the
5 highways, except the examination of an applicant 75 years of
6 age or older shall include an actual demonstration of the
7 applicant's ability to exercise ordinary and reasonable
8 control of the operation of a motor vehicle. All portions of
9 written and verbal examinations under this Section, excepting
10 where the English language appears on facsimiles of road
11 signs, may be given in the Spanish language and, at the
12 discretion of the Secretary of State, in any other language
13 as well as in English upon request of the examinee. Deaf
14 persons who are otherwise qualified are not prohibited from
15 being issued a license, other than a commercial driver's
16 license, under this Code.
17 (c) Re-examination for those applicants who at the time
18 of renewing their driver's license possess a driving record
19 devoid of any convictions of traffic violations or evidence
20 of committing an offense for which mandatory revocation would
21 be required upon conviction pursuant to Section 6-205 at the
22 time of renewal shall be in a manner prescribed by the
23 Secretary in order to determine an applicant's ability to
24 safely operate a motor vehicle, except that every applicant
25 for the renewal of a driver's license who is 75 years of age
26 or older must prove, by an actual demonstration, the
27 applicant's ability to exercise reasonable care in the safe
28 operation of a motor vehicle.
29 (d) In the event the applicant is not ineligible under
30 the provisions of Section 6-103 to receive a driver's
31 license, the Secretary of State shall make provision for
32 giving an examination, either in the county where the
33 applicant resides or at a place adjacent thereto reasonably
34 convenient to the applicant, within not more than 30 days

6 driving privileges until he reaches the age of 21.
7 (c) The Secretary of State shall, 30 days prior to the

25 duty, serving in the Armed Forces of the United States
26 outside of the State of Illinois, and 45 days thereafter,
27 upon such terms and conditions as the Secretary may
28 prescribe.
29 (e) The Secretary of State may decline to process a
30 renewal of a driver's license of any person who has not paid
31 any fee or tax due under this Code and is not paid upon
32 reasonable notice and demand.

34 renewal driver's license issued to a licensee under 21 years

2 birthday. Persons whose current driver's licenses expire on
3 their 21st birthday on or after January 1, 1986 shall not
4 renew their driver's license before their 21st birthday, and

6 additional term of 3 months beyond their 21st birthday.
