6     provided by persons disposing of essential parts as set
7     forth in subsection (b) of this Section. If the Uniform
8     Invoice or bill of sale does not contain all the
9     information required to be listed by subsection (b) of this
10     Section, the dealer disposing of or delivering such part or
11     his agent or employee shall record such additional
12     information or other needed modifications on the Uniform
13     Invoice or bill of sale or, if needed, an attachment
14     thereto. The dealer or his agent or employee delivering the
15     essential part shall initial all additions or
16     modifications to the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale and
17     legibly print his name at the bottom of each document
18     containing his initials. If the transaction involves a bill
19     of sale rather than a Uniform Invoice, the licensee or his
20     agent or employee accepting delivery of or acquiring the
21     essential part shall affix his printed name and legible
22     signature on the space on the bill of sale provided for his
23     signature or, if no space is provided, on the back of the

1     (b) of this Section, the licensee or his agent or employee
2     shall not accept or receive any essential part for which
3     that required information is not provided. If such
4     essential part for which the information required is not

8     essential part into this State or cause it to be brought
9     into this State.
10         (3) If the person disposing of the essential part is
11     not a licensed dealer, the licensee or his agent or
12     employee shall, after inspecting the essential part as
13     required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Section
14     verify the identity of the person disposing of the
15     essential part by examining 2 sources of identification,
16     one of which shall be either a driver's license or state
17     identification card. The licensee or his agent or employee
18     shall then prepare a Uniform Invoice listing all the
19     information required to be provided by subsection (b) of
20     this Section. In the space on the Uniform Invoice provided
21     for the dealer license number of the person disposing of
22     the part, the licensee or his agent or employee shall list
23     the numbers taken from the documents of identification
24     provided by the person disposing of the part. The person

2     the licensee or his agent or employee acquiring the part
3     shall affix his printed name and legible signature on the
4     space provided on the Uniform Invoice for the person
5     acquiring the essential part. If the person disposing of
6     the essential part cannot or does not provide all the

8     does not present 2 satisfactory forms of identification,
9     the licensee or his agent or employee shall not acquire
10     that essential part.
11     (d) If an essential part other than quarter panels and
12 transmissions of vehicles of the first division was delivered
13 by a licensed commercial delivery service delivering such part
14 on behalf of a licensed dealer, the person required to comply
15 with subsection (c) of this Section may conduct the inspection
16 of that part required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) and
17 examination of the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale required by
18 paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section immediately
19 after the acceptance of the part.
20         (1) If the inspection of the essential part pursuant to
21     paragraph (1) of subsection (c) reveals that the vehicle
22     identification number, Secretary of State identification
23     number, Illinois Department of State Police identification
24     number, identification plate or sticker containing an
25     identification number, or Federal Certificate label of an

3     Invoice or bill of sale, assign the part an inventory or
4     stock number, place such inventory or stock number on both
5     the essential part and the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale,

8     7 days of such inspection, return such part to the dealer
9     from whom it was acquired.
10         (2) If the examination of the Uniform Invoice or bill
11     of sale pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (c) reveals
12     that any of the information required to be listed by
13     subsection (b) of this Section is missing, the licensee or
14     person required to be licensed shall immediately assign a
15     stock or inventory number to such part, place such stock or
16     inventory number on both the essential part and the Uniform
17     Invoice or bill of sale, and record the date of examination
18     on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale. The licensee or
19     person required to be licensed shall acquire the
20     information missing from the Uniform Invoice or bill of
21     sale within 7 days of the examination of such Uniform
22     Invoice or bill of sale. Such information may be received
23     by telephone conversation with the dealer from whom the

4     part to that dealer.
5     (e) Except for scrap processors, all persons licensed or
