(625 ILCS 5/2-114) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 2-114)
|
Sec. 2-114. Giving of notice. Whenever the Secretary of |
State is authorized or required to give any
notice under this |
Act or other law regulating the operation of vehicles,
unless a |

The giving of notice by mail is complete upon the expiration of |

of age, naming the person |
to whom such notice was given and specifying the
time, place |
and manner of the giving thereof.

fiscal |
year commencing on July 1st of each registration year. However,
|
the Secretary of State may, pursuant to an agreement or |
arrangement or
declaration providing for apportionment of a |
|
fleet of vehicles with
other jurisdictions, provide for |
registration of such vehicles under
apportionment or for all of |
the vehicles registered in Illinois by an
applicant who |
registers some of his vehicles under apportionment on a
|
calendar year basis instead, and the fees or taxes to be paid |
on a
calendar year basis shall be identical to those specified |

|
Secretary of State.

a recreational vehicle or recreational |
or camping trailer, except a
house trailer, used exclusively by |
the owner for recreational purposes,
and not used commercially |
nor as a truck or bus, nor for hire, shall be
on a calendar year |
basis; except that the Secretary of State shall
provide for |
registration and the issuance of registration cards and
plates |
or registration stickers, where applicable, for one 6-month
|
period in order to accomplish an orderly transition from a |
fiscal year
to a calendar year basis. Fees and taxes due under |
this Act for a
registration year shall be appropriately reduced |
for such 6-month
transitional registration period.
|
(h) The Secretary of State may, in order to accomplish an |
orderly
transition for vehicles registered under Section |
3-402.1 of this Code from
a calendar year registration to a |
March 31st expiration, require applicants
to pay fees and taxes |
|
due under this Code on a 15 month registration basis.
However, |
if in the discretion of the Secretary of State this creates an
|
undue hardship on any applicant the Secretary may allow the |
applicant to
pay 3 month fees and taxes at the time of |
registration and the additional
12 month fees and taxes to be |
payable no later than March 31 of the year
after this |
amendatory Act of 1991 takes effect.
|
(i) The Secretary of State may stagger registrations, of |
vehicles for
which multi-year plates are issued pursuant to |
Section 3-414.1, as necessary
for the convenience of the public |
and the efficiency of his Office. In
order to appropriately and |
effectively accomplish any such staggering, the
Secretary of |
State is authorized to prorate required registration fees,
but |
in no event for a period longer than 15 months, at a monthly |
rate for
a 12 month registration fee.
