1vehicles to a scrap processor prior to receiving the junk
2certificate from the Secretary of State.
3    (b) An application for a salvage certificate shall be
4submitted to the Secretary of State in any of the following
5situations:
6        (1) When an insurance company makes a payment of
7    damages on a total loss claim for a vehicle, the insurance
8    company shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle and
9    the vehicle shall be considered to be salvage except that
10    ownership of (i) a vehicle that has incurred only hail
11    damage that does not affect the operational safety of the
12    vehicle or (ii) any vehicle 9 model years of age or older
13    may, by agreement between the registered owner and the
14    insurance company, be retained by the registered owner of
15    such vehicle. The insurance company shall promptly deliver
16    or mail within 20 days the certificate of title along with
17    proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a
18    salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
19    insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
20    insurer making payment of damages on a total loss claim for
21    the theft of a vehicle shall not be required to apply for a
22    salvage certificate unless the vehicle is recovered and has
23    incurred damage that initially would have caused the
24    vehicle to be declared a total loss by the insurer.
25        (1.1) When a vehicle of a self-insured company is to be
26    sold in the State of Illinois and has sustained damaged by

 

 

HB5056 Engrossed- 5 -LRB100 18646 LNS 33873 b

1    collision, fire, theft, rust corrosion, or other means so
2    that the self-insured company determines the vehicle to be
3    a total loss, or if the cost of repairing the damage,
4    including labor, would be greater than 70% of its fair
5    market value without that damage, the vehicle shall be
6    considered salvage. The self-insured company shall
7    promptly deliver the certificate of title along with proper
8    application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a
9    salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the
10    self-insured company. A self-insured company making
11    payment of damages on a total loss claim for the theft of a
12    vehicle may exchange the salvage certificate for a
13    certificate of title if the vehicle is recovered without
14    damage. In such a situation, the self-insured shall fill
15    out and sign a form prescribed by the Secretary of State
16    which contains an affirmation under penalty of perjury that
17    the vehicle was recovered without damage and the Secretary
18    of State may, by rule, require photographs to be submitted.
19        (2) When a vehicle the ownership of which has been
20    transferred to any person through a certificate of purchase
21    from acquisition of the vehicle at an auction, other
22    dispositions as set forth in Sections 4-208 and 4-209 of
23    this Code, a lien arising under Section 18a-501 of this
24    Code, or a public sale under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act
25    shall be deemed salvage or junk at the option of the
26    purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle in such manner

 

 

HB5056 Engrossed- 6 -LRB100 18646 LNS 33873 b

1    shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20 days after the
2    acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate of purchase,
3    the proper application and fee, and, if the vehicle is an
4    abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act,
5    a certification from a local law enforcement agency that
6    the vehicle was purchased or acquired at a public sale
7    under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act to the Secretary of
8    State and a salvage certificate or junking certificate
9    shall be issued in the name of that person. The salvage
10    certificate or junking certificate issued by the Secretary
11    of State under this Section shall be free of any lien that
12    existed against the vehicle prior to the time the vehicle
13    was acquired by the applicant under this Code.
14        (3) A vehicle which has been repossessed by a
15    lienholder shall be considered to be salvage only when the
16    repossessed vehicle, on the date of repossession by the
17    lienholder, has sustained damage by collision, fire,
18    theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of
19    repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater
20    than 33 1/3% of its fair market value without such damage.
21    If the lienholder determines that such vehicle is damaged
22    in excess of 33 1/3% of such fair market value, the
23    lienholder shall, before sale, transfer or assignment of
24    the vehicle, make application for a salvage certificate,
25    and shall submit with such application the proper fee and
26    evidence of possession. If the facts required to be shown

 

 

HB5056 Engrossed- 7 -LRB100 18646 LNS 33873 b

1    in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the
2    Secretary of State shall issue a salvage certificate in the
3    name of the lienholder making the application. In any case
4    wherein the vehicle repossessed is not damaged in excess of
5    33 1/3% of its fair market value, the lienholder shall
6    comply with the requirements of subsections (f), (f-5), and
7    (f-10) of Section 3-114, except that the affidavit of
8    repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder shall
9    also contain an affirmation under penalty of perjury that
10    the vehicle on the date of sale is not damaged in excess of
11    33 1/3% of its fair market value. If the facts required to
12    be shown in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied,
13    the Secretary of State shall issue a certificate of title
14    as set forth in Section 3-116 of this Code. The Secretary
15    of State may by rule or regulation require photographs to
16    be submitted.
17        (4) A vehicle which is a part of a fleet of more than 5
18    commercial vehicles registered in this State or any other
19    state or registered proportionately among several states
20    shall be considered to be salvage when such vehicle has
21    sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust,
22    corrosion or similar means so that the cost of repairing
23    such damage, including labor, would be greater than 33 1/3%
24    of the fair market value of the vehicle without such
25    damage. If the owner of a fleet vehicle desires to sell,
26    transfer, or assign his interest in such vehicle to a

 

 

HB5056 Engrossed- 8 -LRB100 18646 LNS 33873 b

1    person within this State other than an insurance company
2    licensed to do business within this State, and the owner
3    determines that such vehicle, at the time of the proposed
4    sale, transfer or assignment is damaged in excess of 33
5    1/3% of its fair market value, the owner shall, before such
6    sale, transfer or assignment, make application for a
7    salvage certificate. The application shall contain with it
8    evidence of possession of the vehicle. If the fleet vehicle
9    at the time of its sale, transfer, or assignment is not
10    damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the
11    owner shall so state in a written affirmation on a form
12    prescribed by the Secretary of State by rule or regulation.
13    The Secretary of State may by rule or regulation require
14    photographs to be submitted. Upon sale, transfer or
15    assignment of the fleet vehicle the owner shall mail the
16    affirmation to the Secretary of State.
17        (5) A vehicle that has been submerged in water to the
18    point that rising water has reached over the door sill and
19    has entered the passenger or trunk compartment is a "flood
20    vehicle". A flood vehicle shall be considered to be salvage
21    only if the vehicle has sustained damage so that the cost
22    of repairing the damage, including labor, would be greater
23    than 33 1/3% of the fair market value of the vehicle
24    without that damage. The salvage certificate issued under
25    this Section shall indicate the word "flood", and the word
26    "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent

 

 

HB5056 Engrossed- 9 -LRB100 18646 LNS 33873 b

2    a flood vehicle that is not damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of
3    its fair market value shall make application for title in
4    accordance with Section 3-116 of this Code, designating the
5    vehicle as "flood" in a manner prescribed by the Secretary
6    of State. The certificate of title issued shall indicate
7    the word "flood", and the word "flood" shall be
8    conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for the
9    vehicle.
10        (6) When any licensed rebuilder, repairer, new or used
11    vehicle dealer, or remittance agent has submitted an
12    application for title to a vehicle (other than an
13    application for title to a rebuilt vehicle) that he or she
14    knows or reasonably should have known to have sustained
15    damages in excess of 33 1/3% of the vehicle's fair market
16    value without that damage; provided, however, that any
17    application for a salvage certificate for a vehicle
18    recovered from theft and acquired from an insurance company
19    shall be made as required by paragraph (1) of this
20    subsection (b).
21    (c) Any person who without authority acquires, sells,
22exchanges, gives away, transfers or destroys or offers to
23acquire, sell, exchange, give away, transfer or destroy the
24certificate of title to any vehicle which is a junk or salvage
25vehicle shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony.
