Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(625 ILCS 5/3-208) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-208)

Sec. 3-208. Suspension or revocation of certificates.

(a) The Secretary of State may suspend or revoke a certificate of title,
upon notice and reasonable opportunity to be heard in accordance with
Section 2-118, when authorized by any other provision of law or if he
finds:

1. The certificate of title was fraudulently

procured or erroneously issued, or

2. The vehicle has been scrapped, dismantled or

destroyed.

Except as provided in Section 3-116.2, the Secretary of State shall not suspend or revoke a certificate of title to a manufactured home by reason of the fact that, at any time, it shall have become affixed in any manner to real property.

(b) Suspension or revocation of a certificate of title does not, in
itself, affect the validity of a security interest noted on it.

(c) When the Secretary of State suspends or revokes a certificate of
title, the owner or person in possession of it shall, immediately upon
receiving notice of the suspension or revocation, mail or deliver the
certificate to the Secretary of State.

(d) The Secretary of State may seize and impound any certificate of
title which has been suspended or revoked.
