Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The Cycle Rider Safety Training Act is amended by changing Section 4 as follows:

(625 ILCS 35/4) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 804)

Sec. 4. Any State or community college, State university or community agency designated by the Department may organize a Regional Cycle Rider Safety Training Center and may offer cycle rider safety training courses through such Training Centers which it operates. The curriculum and accreditation for the courses, and the geographic areas in which each Training Center may offer the courses, shall be provided for by rules and regulations of the Department. Instructors of such courses shall meet the qualification and certification requirements of the regulations of the Department and the college, university or community agency offering the program and may be employed on a calendar year rather than a school year basis. Such courses shall be open to all residents of the State who hold a currently valid driver's license and who have reached their 16th birthday without regard to whether such person is enrolled in any other course offered by said State or community college, State university or community agency. Such courses may be offered throughout the calendar year. The courses may be offered as credit or noncredit courses, but no fee shall be charged except for a nominal registration fee which shall be refunded upon completion of the course. Each Regional Cycle Rider Safety Training Center may issue an annual report to the Secretary of State addressing ways that road safety in Illinois may be improved.
