1 AN ACT in relation to identification.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Identification Card Act is
5 amended by changing Sections 4 and 12 as follows:
6 (15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
7 Sec. 4. Identification Card.
8 (a) The Secretary of State shall issue a standard
9 Illinois Identification Card to any natural person who is a
10 resident of the State of Illinois who applies for such card,
11 or renewal thereof, or who presents for exchange an
12 identification card issued by the Department of Corrections
13 under Section 3-14-1 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
14 together with the prescribed fees. The card shall be
15 prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State and shall
16 include a photograph of the applicant. The applicant, upon
17 receipt of a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall
18 affix his signature thereon in the space provided therefor.
19 The Illinois Identification Card may be used for
20 identification purposes in any lawful situation only by the
21 person to whom it was issued. As used in this Act,
22 "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally produced
23 and captured image of an applicant for an identification
24 card. As used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a
25 person as written by that person and captured in a manner
26 acceptable to the Secretary of State.
27 (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special
28 Illinois Identification Card, which shall be known as an

30 person who is a resident of the State of Illinois, who is a
31 disabled person as defined in Section 4A of this Act, who
-2- LRB9207809DJtm
1 applies for such card, or renewal thereof. The Secretary of
2 State shall charge no fee to issue such card. The card shall
3 be prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall
4 include a photograph of the applicant, a designation
5 indicating that the card is an Illinois Disabled Person
6 Identification Card, and shall include a comprehensible
7 designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
8 disability as set out in Section 4A of this Act. If the
9 applicant so requests, the card shall include a description
10 of the applicant's disability and any information about the
11 applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
12 determines would be helpful to the applicant in securing
13 emergency medical care. The applicant, upon receipt of such
14 a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall have
15 affixed thereon in the space provided therefor his signature
16 or mark. If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
17 shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
18 who attest to the authenticity of the mark. The Illinois
19 Disabled Person Identification Card may be used for
20 identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
21 to whom it was issued.
22 The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be
23 used as adequate documentation of disability in lieu of a
24 physician's determination of disability or any other
25 documentation of disability whenever any State law requires
26 that a disabled person provide such documentation of
27 disability, however an Illinois Disabled Person
28 Identification Card shall not qualify the cardholder to
29 participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
30 not available to all persons with like disabilities.
31 Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an Illinois
32 Disabled Person Identification Card, or evidence that the
33 Secretary of State has issued an Illinois Disabled Person
34 Identification Card, shall not be used by any person other
-3- LRB9207809DJtm
1 than the person named on such card to prove that the person
2 named on such card is a disabled person or for any other
3 purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
4 named on such card, and the person named on such card
5 consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
6 When medical information is contained on an Illinois
7 Disabled Person Identification Card, the Office of the
8 Secretary of State shall not be liable for any actions taken
9 based upon that medical information.
10 (c) Beginning January 1, 1986, the Secretary of State
11 shall provide that each original or renewal Illinois
12 Identification Card or Illinois Disabled Person
13 Identification Card issued to a person under the age of 21,
14 shall be of a distinct nature from those Illinois
15 Identification Cards or Illinois Disabled Person
16 Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
17 older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards
18 or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for persons
19 under the age of 21 shall be at the discretion of the
20 Secretary of State.
21 (d) The Secretary of State may issue a Senior Citizen
22 discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
23 State of Illinois who is 60 years of age or older and who
24 applies for such a card or renewal thereof. The Secretary of
25 State shall charge no fee to issue such card. The card shall
26 be issued in every county and applications shall be made
27 available at, but not limited to, nutrition sites, senior
28 citizen centers and Area Agencies on Aging. The applicant,
29 upon receipt of such card and prior to its use for any
30 purpose, shall have affixed thereon in the space provided
31 therefor his signature or mark.
