   temporary  disabilites  (not  a  person with disabilities) and removes      
   not-for-profit organizations  from  these  provisions.  Provides  that

   privileges for these acts.  Provides that a person is in violation  of      
   provisions  concerning unauthorized use of parking places reserved for      
   disabled persons if the person is an unauthorized holder of  a  person      
   with  disabilities  license plate or parking decal or permit. Provides      
   that provisions of this Code shall not  be  deemed  to  prevent  local      
   authorities  from  prohibiting  the unauthorized use of parking spaces      
   reserved for persons with disabilities on private property.   Provides      
   that  provisions  concerning the powers of municipalities and counties      
   and contracts with certain  entities  and  people  for  regulation  of      
   traffic  shall  not  be  deemed  to  prevent  local  authorities  from      
   enforcing,  on  private  property,  local ordinances imposing fines as      
   penalties for the unauthorized use  of  parking  spaces  reserved  for      
   persons  with  disabilities or disabled veterans. Effective January 1,      
   1998.

        Further amends the Vehicle Code.  Provides that the Secretary  of      
   State shall by administrative rule, provide for the content and form        
   of an application for a person with  disabilities  motorist  decal  or      
   device  used  by  local  authorities  in  the issuance of the decal or      
   device.  Provides that the application shall include  the  requirement      
   of  an  Illinois  Identification  Card  number  or a State of Illinois

   plate, person with  disabilities  parking  decal  or  device,  or  any

   holder of a person with  disabilities  parking  decal  or  device  has      
   committed  an  offense  under  the Vehicle Code involving the use of a      
   person with disabilities parking decal  or  device.  Provides  that  a      
   person to whom parking privileges were granted because of a disability      
   shall,  at  the  request  of  a  police  officer,  present  a  picture      
   identification  card  as verification that the person is the person to      
   whom a special registration plate, decal, or device was issued.
