    AN ACT to amend the Illinois  Vehicle  Code  by  changing
Section 4-105.1.

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

    Section 5.  The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is  amended  by
changing Section 4-105.1 as follows:

    (625 ILCS 5/4-105.1) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 4-105.1)
    Sec.   4-105.1.    Offenses   relating   to  deletion  or
falsification of information on title document. (a) It  is  a
violation  of  this  Code for a person to knowingly, with the
intent to defraud, surrender or cause to be  surrendered  any
manufacturer's  statement  of  origin,  certificate of title,
salvage certificate,  junking  certificate,  or  other  title
document,  in  exchange  for  a certificate of title or other
title document of this State or of any other State or foreign
jurisdiction which results in or attempts to result in:
    1.  The  deletion  of  the  words  "S.V.",  "REBUILT"  or
similar notation.
    2.  The falsification of an odometer reading; or
    3.  The alteration or deletion of any  other  information
required  to be contained on such certificate of title or any
other title document of any State or foreign jurisdiction.
    (b)  Presumptions.   A  title  surrendered   to   another
jurisdiction  that  is  subsequently submitted to any person,
corporation,  or  other  legal  entity,  residing  or   doing
business  within  Illinois,  the  following presumption shall
apply; if the title document fails  to  contain  all  of  the
previous  information  required  by Illinois law, it shall be
presumed to have been done so knowingly.
    It shall be  a  rebuttable  presumption  that  any  title
document  surrendered  or  submitted  with  a  false odometer
reading shall be presumed to have been done so knowingly.
    (c)  Sentence. A person convicted of a violation of  this
Section  shall  be  guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A person
convicted of violating this Section a  second  or  subsequent
time,  within  5  years  of  any prior convictions under this
Section, shall be guilty of a Class 3 4 felony.
