(625 ILCS 5/3-100.2)
Sec. 3-100.2. Electronic access; agreements with
submitters.
(a) The Secretary of State may require a licensee under Chapter 3 or 5 of this Code to submit
any record required to be submitted to the Secretary of State by
using electronic media deemed feasible by the Secretary of State, in addition to
requiring the actual submittal of the original paper
record. The Secretary of State may also allow a
person or licensee to receive any record to be provided by the Secretary of State
by using electronic media deemed feasible by the Secretary of State,
instead of providing the original paper record.
(b) Electronic submittal, receipt, and delivery of records and electronic
signatures may be authorized or accepted by the Secretary of State,
when supported by a signed agreement between the Secretary of State
and the submitter. The agreement shall require, at a minimum, each
record to include all information necessary to complete a
transaction, certification by the submitter upon its best knowledge as to the
truthfulness of
the data to be
submitted to the Secretary of State, and retention by the submitter of
supporting records.
(c) The Secretary of State may establish minimum
transaction volume levels, audit and security
standards, technological requirements, and other terms
and conditions he or she deems necessary for approval of the
electronic delivery process.
(d) When an agreement is made to accept electronic
records, the Secretary of State shall not be required
to produce a written record for
the submitter with whom the Secretary of State has
the agreement until requested to do so by the submitter.
(e) Upon the request of a lienholder submitter, the Secretary of State shall
provide electronic notification to the
lienholder submitter to verify the notation and perfection of the lienholder's
security interest in a vehicle for which the certificate of title is an
electronic record. Upon receipt of an electronic message from a lienholder
submitter with a security interest in a vehicle for which the certificate of
title is an electronic record that the lien should be released, the Secretary
of State shall enter the appropriate electronic record of the release of lien
and print and mail a paper certificate of title to the owner or lienholder at
no expense. The Secretary of State may also mail the certificate to any other
person that delivers to the Secretary of State an authorization from the owner
to receive the certificate. If another lienholder holds a properly perfected
security interest in the vehicle as reflected in the records of the Secretary
of State, the certificate shall be delivered to that lienholder instead of the
owner.
