HB2823 Enrolled LRB9105351KStm
AN ACT to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
Sections 3-405 and 3-416.
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 Sections 3-405 and 3-416 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/3-405) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-405)
Sec. 3-405. Application for registration.
(a) Every owner of a vehicle subject to registration
under this Code shall make application to the Secretary of
State for the registration of such vehicle upon the
appropriate form or forms furnished by the Secretary. Every
such application shall bear the signature of the owner
written with pen and ink and contain:
1. The name, bona fide residence (except as
otherwise provided in this paragraph 1) and mail address
of the owner or business address of the owner if a firm,
association or corporation. If the mailing address is a
post office box number, the address listed on the driver
license record may be used to verify residence. A police
officer, a deputy sheriff, an elected sheriff, a law
enforcement officer for the Department of State Police,
or a fire investigator may elect to furnish the address
of the headquarters of the governmental entity or police
district where he or she works instead of his or her
residence address, in which case that address shall be
deemed to be his or her residence address for all
purposes under this Chapter 3. The spouse and children
of a person who may elect under this paragraph 1 to
furnish the address of the headquarters of the government
entity or police district where the person works instead
of the person's residence address may, if they reside
with that person, also elect to furnish the address of
the headquarters of the government entity or police
district where the person works as their residence
address, in which case that address shall be deemed to be
their residence address for all purposes under this
Chapter 3. In this paragraph 1: (A) "police officer" has
the meaning ascribed to "policeman" in Section 10-3-1 of
the Illinois Municipal Code; (B) "deputy sheriff" means a
deputy sheriff appointed under Section 3-6008 of the
Counties Code; (C) "elected sheriff" means a sheriff
commissioned pursuant to Section 3-6001 of the Counties
Code; and (D) "fire investigator" means a person
classified as a peace officer under the Peace Officer
Fire Investigation Act.
2. A description of the vehicle, including such
information as is required in an application for a
certificate of title, determined under such standard
rating as may be prescribed by the Secretary.
3. Information, as may be required by the
Secretary, relating to the insurance policy for a motor
vehicle, including, but not limited to, the name of the
insurer which issued the policy.
4. Such further information as may reasonably be
required by the Secretary to enable him to determine
whether the vehicle is lawfully entitled to registration
and the owner entitled to a certificate of title.
5. An affirmation by the applicant that all
information set forth is true and correct. If the
application is for the registration of a motor vehicle,
the applicant also shall affirm that the motor vehicle is
insured as required by this Code, that such insurance
will be maintained throughout the period for which the
motor vehicle shall be registered, and that neither the
owner, nor any person operating the motor vehicle with
the owner's permission, shall operate the motor vehicle
unless the required insurance is in effect. If the
person signing the affirmation is not the sole owner of
the vehicle, such person shall be deemed to have affirmed
on behalf of all the owners of the vehicle. If the
person signing the affirmation is not an owner of the
vehicle, such person shall be deemed to have affirmed on
behalf of the owner or owners of the vehicle. The lack of
signature on the application shall not in any manner
exempt the owner or owners from any provisions,
requirements or penalties of this Code.
(b) When such application refers to a new vehicle
purchased from a dealer the application shall be accompanied
by a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin from the dealer, and
a statement showing any lien retained by the dealer.

(625 ILCS 5/3-416) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-416)
Sec. 3-416. Notice of change of address or name.
(a) Whenever any person after making application for or
obtaining the registration of a vehicle shall move from the
address named in the application or shown upon a registration
card or certificate of title such person shall within 10 days
thereafter notify the Secretary of State in writing of his
old and new address.
(a-5) A police officer, a deputy sheriff, an elected
sheriff, a law enforcement officer for the Department of
State Police, or a fire investigator who, in accordance with
Section 3-405, has furnished the address of the office of the
headquarters of the governmental entity or police district
where he or she works instead of his or her residence address
shall, within 10 days after he or she is no longer employed
by that governmental entity or police district as a police
officer, a deputy sheriff, an elected sheriff, a law
enforcement officer for the Department of State Police or a
fire investigator, notify the Secretary of State of the old
address and his or her new address. If, in accordance with
Section 3-405, the spouse and children of a police officer,
deputy sheriff, elected sheriff, law enforcement officer for
the Department of State Police, or fire investigator have
furnished the address of the office of the headquarters of
the governmental entity or police district where the police
officer, deputy sheriff, elected sheriff, law enforcement
officer for the Department of State Police, or fire
investigator works instead of their residence address, the
spouse and children shall notify the Secretary of State of
their old address and new address within 10 days after the
police officer, deputy sheriff, elected sheriff, law
enforcement officer for the Department of State Police, or
fire investigator is no longer employed by that governmental
entity or police district as a police officer, deputy
sheriff, elected sheriff, law enforcement officer for the
Department of State Police, or fire investigator.
(b) Whenever the name of any person who has made
application for or obtained the registration of a vehicle is
thereafter changed by marriage or otherwise such person shall
within 10 days notify the Secretary of State of such former
and new name.
(c) In either event, any such person may obtain a
corrected registration card or certificate of title upon
application and payment of the statutory fee.
