    AN ACT concerning transportation.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  
 
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended  by changing 
Section 3-603 as follows:
 



    (625 ILCS 5/3-603)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-603)



    Sec. 3-603. Application for drive-away permits. 

    (a) A dealer who has sold a vehicle of a type otherwise 
required to
be registered under this Act to a nonresident of 
this State who does not
have currently valid registration in 
his home state, may provide
for the operation of such vehicle 
without registration from the place of
sale to the place of 
destination outside of the State of Illinois, by issuing
a

drive-away permit in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of 
State and by
affixing the permit to
such vehicle in the manner 
prescribed by the Secretary of State. Any vehicle
being 
operated pursuant to a drive-away permit may not
be used for

any other purpose and such permits shall be effective only for 
a period
of 30 7 days from the date of sale.

    (b) Any dealer may make application to the Secretary of 
State upon
the appropriate form for drive-away permits for 
motor
vehicles sold
by such dealer. Along with such application 
each applicant shall submit
proof of his status as a bona fide 
dealer and any other information as
may be required by the 
Secretary of State. A non-resident who has
purchased a motor 
vehicle from a person who is not a dealer, may
likewise apply 
to the Secretary of State for a drive-away permit
for display 
upon such vehicle while being driven from Illinois to the
State 
of residence of the applicant. Along with such application, the

applicant shall submit proof of his non-residence and 
eligibility for a
reciprocal exemption from registration in 
Illinois.

    All drive-away permits issued under such application
shall 
bear
a distinguishing number and such other features as may be 
required by
the Secretary of State.
