26 Secretary, include a suitable photograph of a type prescribed

21 Information Card.
22     The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital,

34 color designated for driver's licenses for licensees under 21
35 years of age shall be at the discretion of the Secretary of
36 State.

5     (f) The Secretary of State shall inform all Illinois
6 licensed commercial motor vehicle operators of the

31 license has renewed his or her driver's license.
