(625 ILCS 5/3-117.1) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-117.1)
Sec. 3-117.1. When junking certificates or salvage certificates must
be obtained. (a) Except as provided in Chapter 4 and Section 3-117.3 of this Code, a person who possesses a
junk vehicle shall within 15 days cause the certificate of title, salvage
certificate, certificate of purchase, or a similarly acceptable out-of-state
document of ownership to be surrendered to the Secretary of State along with an
application for a junking certificate, except as provided in Section 3-117.2,
whereupon the Secretary of State shall issue to such a person a junking
certificate, which shall authorize the holder thereof to possess, transport,
or, by an endorsement, transfer ownership in such junked vehicle, and a
certificate of title shall not again be issued for such vehicle. The owner of a junk vehicle is not required to surrender the certificate of title under this subsection if (i) there is no lienholder on the certificate of title or (ii) the owner of the junk vehicle has a valid lien release from the lienholder releasing all interest in the vehicle and the owner applying for the junk certificate matches the current record on the certificate of title file for the vehicle.
A licensee who possesses a junk vehicle and a Certificate of Title,
Salvage Certificate, Certificate of Purchase, or a similarly acceptable
out-of-state document of ownership for such junk vehicle, may transport the
junk vehicle to another licensee prior to applying for or obtaining a
junking certificate, by executing a uniform invoice. The licensee
transferor shall furnish a copy of the uniform invoice to the licensee
transferee at the time of transfer. In any case, the licensee transferor
shall apply for a junking certificate in conformance with Section 3-117.1
of this Chapter. The following information shall be contained on a uniform
invoice:
(1) The business name, address, and dealer license |
| number of the person disposing of the vehicle, junk vehicle, or vehicle cowl;
|
|
(2) The name and address of the person acquiring the
|
| vehicle, junk vehicle, or vehicle cowl and, if that person is a dealer, the Illinois or out-of-state dealer license number of that dealer;
|
|
(3) The date of the disposition of the vehicle, junk
|
| vehicle, or vehicle cowl;
|
|
(4) The year, make, model, color, and description of
|
| each vehicle, junk vehicle, or vehicle cowl disposed of by such person;
|
|
(5) The manufacturer's vehicle identification number,
|
| Secretary of State identification number, or Illinois State Police number for each vehicle, junk vehicle, or vehicle cowl part disposed of by such person;
|
|
(6) The printed name and legible signature of the
|
| person or agent disposing of the vehicle, junk vehicle, or vehicle cowl; and
|
|
(7) The printed name and legible signature of the
|
| person accepting delivery of the vehicle, junk vehicle, or vehicle cowl.
|
|
The Secretary of State may certify a junking manifest in a form prescribed by
the Secretary of State that reflects those vehicles for which junking
certificates have been applied or issued. A junking manifest
may be issued to any person and it shall constitute evidence of ownership
for the vehicle listed upon it. A junking manifest may be transferred only
to a person licensed under Section 5-301 of this Code as a scrap processor.
A junking manifest will allow the transportation of those
vehicles to a scrap processor prior to receiving the junk certificate from
the Secretary of State.
(b) An application for a salvage certificate shall be submitted to the
Secretary of State in any of the following situations:
(1) When an insurance company makes a payment of
|
| damages on a total loss claim for a vehicle, the insurance company shall be deemed to be the owner of such vehicle and the vehicle shall be considered to be salvage except that ownership of (i) a vehicle that has incurred only hail damage that does not affect the operational safety of the vehicle or (ii) any vehicle 9 model years of age or older may, by agreement between the registered owner and the insurance company, be retained by the registered owner of such vehicle. The insurance company shall promptly deliver or mail within 20 days the certificate of title along with proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an insurer making payment of damages on a total loss claim for the theft of a vehicle shall not be required to apply for a salvage certificate unless the vehicle is recovered and has incurred damage that initially would have caused the vehicle to be declared a total loss by the insurer.
|
|
(1.1) When a vehicle of a self-insured company is to
|
| be sold in the State of Illinois and has sustained damaged by collision, fire, theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the self-insured company determines the vehicle to be a total loss, or if the cost of repairing the damage, including labor, would be greater than 70% of its fair market value without that damage, the vehicle shall be considered salvage. The self-insured company shall promptly deliver the certificate of title along with proper application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the self-insured company. A self-insured company making payment of damages on a total loss claim for the theft of a vehicle may exchange the salvage certificate for a certificate of title if the vehicle is recovered without damage. In such a situation, the self-insured shall fill out and sign a form prescribed by the Secretary of State which contains an affirmation under penalty of perjury that the vehicle was recovered without damage and the Secretary of State may, by rule, require photographs to be submitted.
|
|
(2) When a vehicle the ownership of which has been
|
| transferred to any person through a certificate of purchase from acquisition of the vehicle at an auction, other dispositions as set forth in Sections 4-208 and 4-209 of this Code, or a lien arising under Section 18a-501 of this Code shall be deemed salvage or junk at the option of the purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle in such manner shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20 days after the acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate of purchase, the proper application and fee, and, if the vehicle is an abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act, a certification from a local law enforcement agency that the vehicle was purchased or acquired at a public sale under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act to the Secretary of State and a salvage certificate or junking certificate shall be issued in the name of that person. The salvage certificate or junking certificate issued by the Secretary of State under this Section shall be free of any lien that existed against the vehicle prior to the time the vehicle was acquired by the applicant under this Code.
|
|
(3) A vehicle which has been repossessed by a
|
| lienholder shall be considered to be salvage only when the repossessed vehicle, on the date of repossession by the lienholder, has sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater than 50% of its fair market value without such damage. If the lienholder determines that such vehicle is damaged in excess of 50% of such fair market value, the lienholder shall, before sale, transfer, or assignment of the vehicle, make application for a salvage certificate, and shall submit with such application the proper fee and evidence of possession. If the facts required to be shown in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the Secretary of State shall issue a salvage certificate in the name of the lienholder making the application. In any case wherein the vehicle repossessed is not damaged in excess of 50% of its fair market value, the lienholder shall comply with the requirements of subsections (f), (f-5), and (f-10) of Section 3-114, except that the affidavit of repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder shall also contain an affirmation under penalty of perjury that the vehicle on the date of sale is not damaged in excess of 50% of its fair market value. If the facts required to be shown in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the Secretary of State shall issue a certificate of title as set forth in Section 3-116 of this Code. The Secretary of State may by rule or regulation require photographs to be submitted.
|
|
(4) A vehicle which is a part of a fleet of more than
|
| 5 commercial vehicles registered in this State or any other state or registered proportionately among several states shall be considered to be salvage when such vehicle has sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust, corrosion or similar means so that the cost of repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater than 50% of the fair market value of the vehicle without such damage. If the owner of a fleet vehicle desires to sell, transfer, or assign his interest in such vehicle to a person within this State other than an insurance company licensed to do business within this State, and the owner determines that such vehicle, at the time of the proposed sale, transfer or assignment is damaged in excess of 50% of its fair market value, the owner shall, before such sale, transfer or assignment, make application for a salvage certificate. The application shall contain with it evidence of possession of the vehicle. If the fleet vehicle at the time of its sale, transfer, or assignment is not damaged in excess of 50% of its fair market value, the owner shall so state in a written affirmation on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State by rule or regulation. The Secretary of State may by rule or regulation require photographs to be submitted. Upon sale, transfer or assignment of the fleet vehicle the owner shall mail the affirmation to the Secretary of State.
|
|
(5) A vehicle that has been submerged in water to the
|
| point that rising water has reached over the door sill and has entered the passenger or trunk compartment is a "flood vehicle". A flood vehicle shall be considered to be salvage only if the vehicle has sustained damage so that the cost of repairing the damage, including labor, would be greater than 50% of the fair market value of the vehicle without that damage. The salvage certificate issued under this Section shall indicate the word "flood", and the word "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for the vehicle. A person who possesses or acquires a flood vehicle that is not damaged in excess of 50% of its fair market value shall make application for title in accordance with Section 3-116 of this Code, designating the vehicle as "flood" in a manner prescribed by the Secretary of State. The certificate of title issued shall indicate the word "flood", and the word "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for the vehicle.
|
|
(6) When any licensed rebuilder, repairer, new or
|
| used vehicle dealer, or remittance agent has submitted an application for title to a vehicle (other than an application for title to a rebuilt vehicle) that he or she knows or reasonably should have known to have sustained damages in excess of 50% of the vehicle's fair market value without that damage; provided, however, that any application for a salvage certificate for a vehicle recovered from theft and acquired from an insurance company shall be made as required by paragraph (1) of this subsection (b).
|
|
(c) Any person who without authority acquires, sells, exchanges, gives
away, transfers or destroys or offers to acquire, sell, exchange, give
away, transfer or destroy the certificate of title to any vehicle which is
a junk or salvage vehicle shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony.
(d) Except as provided under subsection (a), any person who knowingly fails to surrender to the Secretary of State a
certificate of title, salvage certificate, certificate of purchase or a
similarly acceptable out-of-state document of ownership as required under
the provisions of this Section is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a
first offense and a Class 4 felony for a subsequent offense; except that a
person licensed under this Code who violates paragraph (5) of subsection (b)
of this Section is
guilty of a business offense and shall be fined not less than $1,000 nor more
than $5,000 for a first offense and is guilty of a Class 4 felony
for a second or subsequent violation.
(e) Any vehicle which is salvage or junk may not be driven or operated
on roads and highways within this State. A violation of this subsection is
a Class A misdemeanor. A salvage vehicle displaying valid special plates
issued under Section 3-601(b) of this Code, which is being driven to or
from an inspection conducted under Section 3-308 of this Code, is exempt
from the provisions of this subsection. A salvage vehicle for which a
short term permit has been issued under Section 3-307 of this Code is
exempt from the provisions of this subsection for the duration of the permit.

Sec. 3-202. Perfection of security interest.
(a) Unless excepted by Section 3-201, a security interest in a
vehicle of a type for which a certificate of title is required is not
valid against subsequent transferees or lienholders of the vehicle
unless perfected as provided in this Act. A purchase money security interest in a manufactured home is perfected against the rights of judicial lien creditors and execution creditors on and after the date such purchase money security interest attaches.
(b) A security interest is perfected by the delivery to the
Secretary of State of the existing certificate of title, if any, an
application for a certificate of title containing the name and address
of the lienholder and the
required fee. The security interest is perfected as of the time of
its creation if the
delivery to the Secretary of State is completed within 30 days after the
creation of the security interest or receipt by the new lienholder of the
existing certificate of title from a prior lienholder or licensed
dealer, otherwise as of the
time of the delivery.
(c) If a vehicle is subject to a security interest when brought into
this State, the validity of the security interest is determined by the
law of the jurisdiction where the vehicle was when the security interest
attached, subject to the following:
1. If the parties understood at the time the security |
| interest attached that the vehicle would be kept in this State and it was brought into this State within 30 days thereafter for purposes other than transportation through this State, the validity of the security interest in this State is determined by the law of this State.
|
|
2. If the security interest was perfected under the
|
| law of the jurisdiction where the vehicle was when the security interest attached, the following rules apply:
|
|
(A) If the name of the lienholder is shown on an
|
| existing certificate of title issued by that jurisdiction, his security interest continues perfected in this State.
|
|
(B) If the name of the lienholder is not shown on
|
| an existing certificate of title issued by that jurisdiction, a security interest may be perfected by the lienholder delivering to the Secretary of State the prescribed notice and by payment of the required fee. Such security interest is perfected as of the time of delivery of the prescribed notice and payment of the required fee.
|
|
3. If the security interest was not perfected under
|
| the law of the jurisdiction where the vehicle was when the security interest attached, it may be perfected in this State; in that case perfection dates from the time of perfection in this State.
|
|
4. A security interest may be perfected under
|
| paragraph 3 of this subsection either as provided in subsection (b) or by the lienholder delivering to the Secretary of State a notice of security interest in the form the Secretary of State prescribes and the required fee.
|
|
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 3-116.1, 3-116.2, 3-207, and the Conveyance and Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and Severance Act, after a certificate of title has been issued for a manufactured home and as long as the manufactured home is subject to any security interest perfected pursuant to this Section, the Secretary of State shall not file an affidavit of affixation, nor cancel the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin, nor revoke the certificate of title, nor issue a certificate of title under Section 3-106, and, in any event, the validity and priority of any security interest perfected pursuant to this Section shall continue, notwithstanding the provision of any other law.

Sec. 3-401. Effect of provisions.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any
person to violate any provision of this Chapter or to drive or move or
for an owner knowingly to permit to be driven or moved upon any highway
any vehicle of a type required to be registered hereunder which is not
registered or for which the appropriate fee has not been paid when and
as required hereunder, except that when application accompanied by
proper fee has been made for registration of a vehicle it may be
operated temporarily pending complete registration upon displaying a
duplicate application duly verified or other evidence of such
application or otherwise under rules and regulations promulgated by the
Secretary of State.
(b) The appropriate fees required to be paid under the various
provisions of this Act for registration of vehicles shall mean the fee
or fees which would have been paid initially, if proper and timely
application had been made to the Secretary of State for the appropriate
registration required, whether such registration be a flat weight

supplemental application to an original prorate application together
with payment of fees due under the supplemental application for prorate
decals.
(c) Effective October 1, 1984, no vehicle required to pay a Federal
Highway
Users Tax shall be registered unless proof of payment, in a form prescribed
and approved by the Secretary of State, is submitted with the appropriate
registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, failure
of the applicant to comply with this paragraph shall be deemed grounds for
the Secretary to refuse registration.
(c-1) A vehicle may not be registered by the Secretary of State unless that vehicle:
(1) was originally manufactured for operation on |
|
(2) is a modification of a vehicle that was
|
| originally manufactured for operation on highways; or

|
|
(d) Second division vehicles.
(1) A vehicle of the second division moved or
|
| operated within this State shall have had paid for it the appropriate registration fees and flat weight tax, as evidenced by the Illinois registration issued for that vehicle, for the gross weight of the vehicle and load being operated or moved within this State. Second division vehicles of foreign jurisdictions operated within this State under a single trip permit, fleet reciprocity plan, prorate registration plan, or apportional registration plan, instead of second division vehicle registration under Article VIII of this Chapter, must have had paid for it the appropriate registration fees and flat weight tax in the base jurisdiction of that vehicle, as evidenced by the maximum gross weight shown on the foreign registration cards, plus any appropriate fees required under this Code.
|
|
(2) If a vehicle and load are operated in this State
|
| and the appropriate fees and taxes have not been paid or the vehicle and load exceed the registered gross weight for which the required fees and taxes have been paid by 2001 pounds or more, the operator or owner shall be fined as provided in Section 15-113 of this Code. However, an owner or operator shall not be subject to arrest under this subsection for any weight in excess of 80,000 pounds. Further, no fine shall exceed the actual cost of what the appropriate registration for that vehicle and load should have been as established in subsection (a) of Section 3-815 of this Chapter regardless of the route traveled. For purposes of this paragraph (2), "appropriate registration" means the full annual cost of the required registration and its associated fees.
|
|
(3) Any person operating a legal combination of
|
| vehicles displaying valid registration shall not be considered in violation of the registration provision of this subsection unless the total gross weight of the combination exceeds the total licensed weight of the vehicles in the combination. The gross weight of a vehicle exempt from the registration requirements of this Chapter shall not be included when determining the total gross weight of vehicles in combination. Any vehicle operating under an emergency harvest permit, as described in subsection (e-1) of Section 15-301 of this Code, shall not be in violation of this paragraph (3).
|
|
(4) If the defendant claims that he or she had
|
| previously paid the appropriate Illinois registration fees and taxes for this vehicle before the alleged violation, the defendant shall have the burden of proving the existence of the payment by competent evidence. Proof of proper Illinois registration issued by the Secretary of State, or the appropriate registration authority from the foreign state, shall be the only competent evidence of payment.
