 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 Section 4 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 applies for a standard Illinois
12    Identification Card upon release as  a  committed  person  on
13    parole,  mandatory  supervised  release,  final discharge, or
14    pardon from the Department of Corrections  by  submitting  an
15    identification  card  issued by the Department of Corrections
16    under Section 3-14-1 of  the  Unified  Code  of  Corrections,
17    together  with  the  prescribed  fees.   The  card  shall  be
18    prepared  and  supplied  by  the Secretary of State and shall
19    include a photograph of the applicant.  The  applicant,  upon
20    receipt of a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall
21    affix  his  signature thereon in the space provided therefor.
22    The  Illinois   Identification   Card   may   be   used   for
23    identification  purposes  in any lawful situation only by the
24    person  to  whom  it  was  issued.  As  used  in  this   Act,
25    "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally produced
26    and  captured  image  of  an  applicant for an identification
27    card.  As used in this Act, "signature" means the name  of  a
28    person  as  written  by  that person and captured in a manner
29    acceptable to the Secretary of State.
30        (b)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  a   special
31    Illinois  Identification  Card,  which  shall  be known as an
 
HB2011 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9207809DJtm
 1    Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, to any  natural
 2    person  who  is a resident of the State of Illinois, who is a
 3    disabled person as defined in Section 4A  of  this  Act,  who
 4    applies  for such card, or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
 5    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall
 6    be prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall
 7    include  a  photograph  of  the  applicant,   a   designation
 8    indicating  that  the  card  is  an  Illinois Disabled Person
 9    Identification  Card,  and  shall  include  a  comprehensible
10    designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
11    disability as set out in Section 4A  of  this  Act.   If  the
12    applicant  so  requests, the card shall include a description
13    of the applicant's disability and any information  about  the
14    applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
15    determines  would  be  helpful  to  the applicant in securing
16    emergency medical care.  The applicant, upon receipt of  such
17    a  card  and  prior  to  its  use for any purpose, shall have
18    affixed thereon in the space provided therefor his  signature
19    or mark.  If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
20    shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
21    who  attest  to  the  authenticity of the mark.  The Illinois
22    Disabled  Person  Identification  Card  may   be   used   for
23    identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
24    to whom it was issued.
25        The  Illinois  Disabled Person Identification Card may be
26    used as adequate documentation of disability  in  lieu  of  a
27    physician's   determination   of   disability  or  any  other
28    documentation of disability whenever any State  law  requires
29    that   a   disabled  person  provide  such  documentation  of
30    disability,   however    an    Illinois    Disabled    Person
31    Identification  Card  shall  not  qualify  the  cardholder to
32    participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
33    not  available  to  all  persons  with   like   disabilities.
34    Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of  law, an Illinois
 
HB2011 Engrossed            -3-                LRB9207809DJtm
 1    Disabled Person Identification Card,  or  evidence  that  the
 2    Secretary  of  State  has  issued an Illinois Disabled Person
 3    Identification Card, shall not be used by  any  person  other
 4    than  the  person named on such card to prove that the person
 5    named on such card is a disabled  person  or  for  any  other
 6    purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
 7    named  on  such  card,  and  the  person  named  on such card
 8    consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
 9        When medical information  is  contained  on  an  Illinois
10    Disabled  Person  Identification  Card,  the  Office  of  the
11    Secretary  of State shall not be liable for any actions taken
12    based upon that medical information.
13        (c)  Beginning January 1, 1986, the  Secretary  of  State
14    shall   provide   that  each  original  or  renewal  Illinois
15    Identification   Card    or    Illinois    Disabled    Person
16    Identification  Card  issued to a person under the age of 21,
17    shall  be  of  a  distinct   nature   from   those   Illinois
18    Identification    Cards    or    Illinois   Disabled   Person
19    Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
20    older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards
21    or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for  persons
22    under  the  age  of  21  shall  be  at  the discretion of the
23    Secretary of State.
24        (d)  The Secretary of State may issue  a  Senior  Citizen
25    discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
26    State  of  Illinois  who  is 60 years of age or older and who
27    applies for such a card or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
28    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall
29    be issued in every county  and  applications  shall  be  made
30    available  at,  but  not  limited to, nutrition sites, senior
31    citizen centers and Area Agencies on Aging.   The  applicant,
32    upon  receipt  of  such  card  and  prior  to its use for any
33    purpose, shall have affixed thereon  in  the  space  provided
34    therefor his signature or mark.

 4        (730 ILCS 5/3-14-1) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-14-1)
 5        Sec. 3-14-1. Release from the Institution.
 6        (a)  Upon  release  of  a  person  on  parole,  mandatory
 7    release, final  discharge  or  pardon  the  Department  shall
 8    return  all  property held for him, provide him with suitable
 9    clothing and procure necessary transportation for him to  his
10    designated  place of residence and employment. It may provide
11    such person with a grant of money  for  travel  and  expenses
12    which  may  be  paid in installments. The amount of the money
13    grant shall be determined by the Department.
14        The Department of Corrections may establish and maintain,
15    in any institution it  administers,  revolving  funds  to  be
16    known  as  "Travel  and  Allowances  Revolving Funds".  These
17    revolving funds  shall  be  used  for  advancing  travel  and
18    expense  allowances  to  committed,  paroled,  and discharged
19    prisoners.  The moneys paid into such revolving  funds  shall
20    be  from  appropriations  to  the  Department  for Committed,
21    Paroled, and Discharged Prisoners.
22        (b)  (Blank).
23        (c)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in  this  Code,  the
24    Department  shall  establish  procedures  to  provide written
25    notification of any  release  of  any  person  who  has  been
26    convicted  of a felony to the State's Attorney and sheriff of
27    the county from which the offender  was  committed,  and  the
28    State's  Attorney  and  sheriff  of the county into which the
29    offender is to be paroled or released.  Except  as  otherwise
30    provided   in  this  Code,  the  Department  shall  establish
31    procedures to provide written notification to the proper  law
32    enforcement agency for any municipality of any release of any
 
HB2011 Engrossed            -5-                LRB9207809DJtm
 1    person  who  has  been convicted of a felony if the arrest of
 2    the offender or the commission of the offense took  place  in
 3    the  municipality,  if  the  offender  is  to  be  paroled or
 4    released into the municipality, or if the offender resided in
 5    the municipality  at  the  time  of  the  commission  of  the
 6    offense.  If  a  person  convicted  of a felony who is in the
 7    custody of the Department of  Corrections  or  on  parole  or
 8    mandatory  supervised  release informs the Department that he
 9    or she has resided, resides, or will  reside  at  an  address
10    that  is  a  housing  facility  owned,  managed, operated, or
11    leased by a public housing agency, the Department  must  send
12    written  notification  of  that  information  to  the  public
13    housing  agency  that  owns, manages, operates, or leases the
14    housing  facility.   The  written  notification  shall,  when
15    possible, be given at least 14 days  before  release  of  the
16    person from custody, or as soon thereafter as possible.
17        (c-1)  (Blank).
18        (d)  Upon  the  release  of a committed person on parole,
19    mandatory supervised release, final discharge or pardon,  the
20    Department   shall   provide  such  person  with  information
21    concerning programs and services of the  Illinois  Department
22    of  Public  Health  to ascertain whether such person has been
23    exposed to the human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  or  any
24    identified   causative  agent  of  Acquired  Immunodeficiency
25    Syndrome (AIDS).
26        (e)  Upon the release of a committed  person  on  parole,
27    mandatory supervised release, final discharge, or pardon, the
28    Department  shall provide the person who has met the criteria
29    established by the Department  with  an  identification  card
30    identifying   the   person  as  being  on  parole,  mandatory
31    supervised release, final discharge, or pardon, as  the  case
32    may  be.   The Department, in consultation with the Office of
33    the Secretary of State,  shall  prescribe  the  form  of  the
34    identification  card, which may be similar to the form of the
 
HB2011 Engrossed            -6-                LRB9207809DJtm
 1    standard Illinois Identification Card.  The Department  shall
 2    inform  the  committed  person that he or she may present the
 3    identification card to the Office of the Secretary  of  State
 4    upon  application for a standard Illinois Identification Card
 5    in accordance with the Illinois Identification Card Act.  The
 6    Department shall require the committed person to pay a $1 fee
 7    for the identification card.
 8        For  purposes  of  a  committed   person   receiving   an
 9    identification  card  issued  by  the  Department  under this
10    subsection, the Department shall establish criteria that  the
11    committed  person  must meet before the card is issued. It is
12    the sole responsibility of the  committed  person  requesting
13    the  identification card issued by the Department to meet the
14    established  criteria.  The  person's  failure  to  meet  the
15    criteria is sufficient reason to deny  the  committed  person
16    the  identification  card.   An identification card issued by
17    the Department under this subsection shall  be  valid  for  a
18    period  of  time not to exceed 30 calendar days from the date
19    the card is issued. The Department shall not be held  civilly
20    or  criminally  liable  to  anyone  because of any act of any
21    person utilizing a card issued by the Department  under  this
22    subsection.
23        The  Department  shall adopt rules governing the issuance
24    of identification cards to committed persons  being  released
25    on  parole, mandatory supervised release, final discharge, or
26    pardon.
