AN ACT concerning the Secretary of State, amending named
Acts.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Identification Card Act is
amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
(15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
Sec. 4. Identification Card. (a) The Secretary of State
shall issue a standard Illinois Identification Card to any
natural person who is a resident of the State of Illinois who
applies for such card, or renewal thereof, together with the
prescribed fees. The card shall be prepared and supplied by
the Secretary of State and shall include a photograph of the
applicant. The applicant, upon receipt of a card and prior
to its use for any purpose, shall affix his signature thereon
in the space provided therefor. The Illinois Identification
Card may be used for identification purposes in any lawful
situation only by the person to whom it was issued. As used
in this Act, "photograph" means any color photograph or
digitally produced and captured image of an applicant for an
identification card. As used in this Act, "signature" means
the name of a person as written by that person and captured
in a manner acceptable to the Secretary of State.
(b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special
Illinois Identification Card, which shall be known as an
Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, to any natural
person who is a resident of the State of Illinois, who is a
disabled person as defined in Section 4A of this Act, who
applies for such card, or renewal thereof. The Secretary of
State shall charge no fee to issue such card. The card shall
be prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall
include a photograph of the applicant, a designation
indicating that the card is an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification Card, and shall include a comprehensible
designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
disability as set out in Section 4A of this Act. If the
applicant so requests, the card shall include a description
of the applicant's disability and any information about the
applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
determines would be helpful to the applicant in securing
emergency medical care. The applicant, upon receipt of such
a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall have
affixed thereon in the space provided therefor his signature
or mark. If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
who attest to the authenticity of the mark. The Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card may be used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
to whom it was issued.
The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be
used as adequate documentation of disability in lieu of a
physician's determination of disability or any other
documentation of disability whenever any State law requires
that a disabled person provide such documentation of
disability, however an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification Card shall not qualify the cardholder to
participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
not available to all persons with like disabilities.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card, or evidence that the
Secretary of State has issued an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification Card, shall not be used by any person other
than the person named on such card to prove that the person
named on such card is a disabled person or for any other
purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
named on such card, and the person named on such card
consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
When medical information is contained on an Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card, the Office of the
Secretary of State shall not be liable for any actions taken
based upon that medical information.
(c) Beginning January 1, 1986, the Secretary of State
shall provide that each original or renewal Illinois
Identification Card or Illinois Disabled Person
Identification Card issued to a person under the age of 21,
shall be of a distinct nature from those Illinois
Identification Cards or Illinois Disabled Person
Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards
or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for persons
under the age of 21 shall be at the discretion of the
Secretary of State.
(d) The Secretary of State may issue a Senior Citizen
discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
State of Illinois who is 60 years of age or older and who
applies for such a card or renewal thereof. The Secretary of
State shall charge no fee to issue such card. The card shall
be issued in every county and applications shall be made
available at, but not limited to, nutrition sites, senior
citizen centers and Area Agencies on Aging. The applicant,
upon receipt of such card and prior to its use for any
purpose, shall have affixed thereon in the space provided
therefor his signature or mark.

Sec. 6-106. Application for license or instruction
permit.
(a) Every application for any permit or license
authorized to be issued under this Act shall be made upon a
form furnished by the Secretary of State. Every application
shall be accompanied by the proper fee and payment of such

security number, zip code, date of birth, sex, and residence
address of the applicant; briefly describe the applicant;

whether any such license has ever been cancelled, suspended,
revoked or refused, and, if so, the date and reason for such
cancellation, suspension, revocation or refusal; shall
include an affirmation by the applicant that all information
set forth is true and correct; and shall bear the applicant's
signature, written with pen and ink. The application form
may also require the statement of such additional relevant
information as the Secretary of State shall deem necessary to
determine the applicant's competency and eligibility. The
Secretary of State may in his discretion substitute a federal
tax number in lieu of a social security number, or he may
instead assign an additional distinctive number in lieu
thereof, where an applicant is prohibited by bona fide
religious convictions from applying or is exempt from
applying for a social security number. The Secretary of State
shall, however, determine which religious orders or sects
have such bona fide religious convictions. The Secretary of
State may, in his discretion, by rule or regulation, provide
that an application for a drivers license or permit may
include a suitable photograph of the applicant in the form
prescribed by the Secretary, and he may further provide that
each drivers license shall include a photograph of the
driver. The Secretary of State may utilize a photograph
process or system most suitable to deter alteration or
improper reproduction of a drivers license and to prevent
substitution of another photo thereon.
(c) The application form shall include a notice to the
applicant of the registration obligations of sex offenders
under the Sex Offender Registration Act. The notice shall be
provided in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of
State. For purposes of this subsection (c), "sex offender"
has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2 of the Sex
Offender Registration Act.
