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

 4        Section  5.  The  Illinois  Identification  Card  Act  is
 5    amended by changing Section 4 as follows:

 6        (15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
 7        Sec. 4.  Identification Card.
 8        (a)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  a  standard
 9    Illinois Identification Card to any natural person who  is  a
10    resident  of the State of Illinois who applies for such card,
11    or renewal thereof, or who applies for  a  standard  Illinois
12    Identification  Card  upon  release  as a committed person on
13    parole, mandatory supervised  release,  final  discharge,  or
14    pardon  from  the  Department of Corrections by submitting an
15    identification card issued by the Department  of  Corrections
16    under  Section  3-14-1  of  the  Unified Code of Corrections,
17    together  with  the  prescribed  fees.   The  card  shall  be
18    prepared and supplied by the Secretary  of  State  and  shall
19    include  a  photograph of the applicant.  The applicant, upon
20    receipt of a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall
21    affix his signature thereon in the space  provided  therefor.
22    The   Illinois   Identification   Card   may   be   used  for
23    identification purposes in any lawful situation only  by  the
24    person   to  whom  it  was  issued.  As  used  in  this  Act,
25    "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally produced
26    and captured image of  an  applicant  for  an  identification
27    card.   As  used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a
28    person as written by that person and  captured  in  a  manner
29    acceptable to the Secretary of State.
30        (b)  The   Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  a  special
31    Illinois Identification Card, which  shall  be  known  as  an
 
HB1383 Engrossed            -2-      LRB093 10666 DRJ 11005 b
 1    Illinois  Disabled Person Identification Card, to any natural
 2    person who is a resident of the State of Illinois, who  is  a
 3    disabled  person  as  defined  in Section 4A of this Act, who
 4    applies for such card, or renewal thereof.  The Secretary  of
 5    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall
 6    be prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall
 7    include   a   photograph  of  the  applicant,  a  designation
 8    indicating that the  card  is  an  Illinois  Disabled  Person
 9    Identification  Card,  and  shall  include  a  comprehensible
10    designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
11    disability  as  set  out  in  Section 4A of this Act.  If the
12    applicant so requests, the card shall include  a  description
13    of  the  applicant's disability and any information about the
14    applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
15    determines would be helpful  to  the  applicant  in  securing
16    emergency  medical care.  The applicant, upon receipt of such
17    a card and prior to its  use  for  any  purpose,  shall  have
18    affixed  thereon in the space provided therefor his signature
19    or mark.  If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
20    shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
21    who attest to the authenticity of  the  mark.   The  Illinois
22    Disabled   Person   Identification   Card  may  be  used  for
23    identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
24    to whom it was issued.
25        The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card  may  be
26    used  as  adequate  documentation  of disability in lieu of a
27    physician's  determination  of  disability   or   any   other
28    documentation  of  disability whenever any State law requires
29    that  a  disabled  person  provide  such   documentation   of
30    disability,    however    an    Illinois    Disabled   Person
31    Identification Card  shall  not  qualify  the  cardholder  to
32    participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
33    not   available   to  all  persons  with  like  disabilities.
34    Notwithstanding any other  provisions  of  law,  an  Illinois

 5    named  on  such  card  is  a disabled person or for any other
 6    purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
 7    named on such  card,  and  the  person  named  on  such  card
 8    consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
 9        When  medical  information  is  contained  on an Illinois
10    Disabled  Person  Identification  Card,  the  Office  of  the
11    Secretary of State shall not be liable for any actions  taken
12    based upon that medical information.
13        (c)  Beginning  January  1,  1986, the Secretary of State

18    Identification   Cards   or    Illinois    Disabled    Person
19    Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
20    older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards

23    Secretary of State.

29    years of age.
30        (d)  The Secretary of State may issue  a  Senior  Citizen
31    discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
32    State  of  Illinois  who  is 60 years of age or older and who
33    applies for such a card or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
34    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall

 2    available  at,  but  not  limited to, nutrition sites, senior
 3    citizen centers and Area Agencies on Aging.   The  applicant,
 4    upon  receipt  of  such  card  and  prior  to its use for any
 5    purpose, shall have affixed thereon  in  the  space  provided
 6    therefor his signature or mark.

 8        Section  10.  The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is amended by
 9    changing Section 6-110 as follows:

10        (625 ILCS 5/6-110) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-110)
11        Sec. 6-110.  Licenses issued to drivers.
12        (a)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue   to   every
13    qualifying applicant a driver's license as applied for, which
14    license  shall  bear  a distinguishing number assigned to the
15    licensee, the name, social security number, zip code, date of
16    birth, address, and a brief description of the licensee,  and
17    a space where the licensee may write his usual signature.
18        If the licensee is less than 17 years of age, the license
19    shall,  as  a  matter of law, be invalid for the operation of
20    any motor vehicle during any time the licensee is  prohibited
21    from  being  on any street or highway under the provisions of
22    the Child Curfew Act.
23        Licenses issued shall also  indicate  the  classification
24    and the restrictions under Section 6-104 of this Code.
25        In  lieu of the social security number, the Secretary may
26    in his discretion substitute a federal tax  number  or  other
27    distinctive number.
28        A  driver's  license issued may, in the discretion of the
29    Secretary, include a suitable photograph of a type prescribed
30    by the Secretary.
31        (b)  The Secretary of State shall provide a format on the
32    reverse of each driver's license issued  which  the  licensee
 
HB1383 Engrossed            -5-      LRB093 10666 DRJ 11005 b
 1    may  use  to  execute  a  document  of gift conforming to the
 2    provisions of the Uniform Anatomical  Gift  Act.  The  format
 3    shall  allow  the  licensee  to  indicate  the gift intended,
 4    whether specific organs, any organ, or the entire  body,  and
 5    shall   accommodate   the  signatures  of  the  donor  and  2
 6    witnesses.  The Secretary shall also inform each applicant or
 7    licensee of this  format,  describe  the  procedure  for  its
 8    execution,  and  may  offer the necessary witnesses; provided
 9    that in so doing, the Secretary shall advise the applicant or
10    licensee that he or she is under no compulsion to  execute  a
11    document  of  gift.  A  brochure  explaining  this  method of
12    executing an anatomical gift document shall be given to  each
13    applicant   or  licensee.   The  brochure  shall  advise  the
14    applicant or licensee that he or she is under  no  compulsion
15    to execute a document of gift, and that he or she may wish to
16    consult  with  family, friends or clergy before doing so. The
17    Secretary  of  State  may   undertake   additional   efforts,
18    including  education  and  awareness  activities,  to promote
19    organ and tissue donation.
20        (c)  The Secretary  of  State  shall  designate  on  each
21    driver's  license issued a space where the licensee may place
22    a sticker or decal of the uniform size as the  Secretary  may
23    specify,  which  sticker or decal may indicate in appropriate
24    language that the owner of the license carries  an  Emergency
25    Medical Information Card.
26        The  sticker  may  be  provided  by any person, hospital,
27    school, medical group, or association interested in assisting
28    in implementing the Emergency Medical Information  Card,  but
29    shall meet the specifications as the Secretary may by rule or
30    regulation require.
31        (d)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  designate  on each
32    driver's license  issued  a  space  where  the  licensee  may
33    indicate his blood type and RH factor.
34        (e)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  provide  that each
 
HB1383 Engrossed            -6-      LRB093 10666 DRJ 11005 b
 1    original or renewal driver's license  issued  to  a  licensee
 2    under  21  years  of  age  shall be of a distinct nature from
 3    those driver's licenses issued to individuals 21 years of age
 4    and older. The color designated  for  driver's  licenses  for
 5    licensees under 21 years of age shall be at the discretion of
 6    the Secretary of State.
 7        (e-1)  The  Secretary  shall  provide  that each driver's
 8    license issued to a person under the age of 21  displays  the
 9    date upon which the person becomes 19 18 years of age and the
10    date upon which the person becomes 21 years of age.
11        (f)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall inform all Illinois
12    licensed  commercial   motor   vehicle   operators   of   the
13    requirements  of  the  Uniform Commercial Driver License Act,
14    Article V of this  Chapter,  and  shall  make  provisions  to
15    insure  that  all  drivers,  seeking  to  obtain a commercial
16    driver's license, be afforded an opportunity prior  to  April
17    1,  1992, to obtain the license.  The Secretary is authorized
18    to extend  driver's  license  expiration  dates,  and  assign
19    specific  times,  dates  and locations where these commercial
20    driver's tests shall be conducted.  Any applicant, regardless
21    of the current expiration date of  the  applicant's  driver's
22    license,  may  be subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
23    Failure to comply with the Secretary's assignment may  result
24    in  the applicant's forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a
25    commercial driver's license prior to April 1, 1992.
26        (g)  The Secretary of State shall designate on a driver's
27    license issued, a space where the licensee may indicate  that
28    he  or  she  has drafted a living will in accordance with the
29    Illinois Living Will Act or a durable power of  attorney  for
30    health care in accordance with the Illinois Power of Attorney
31    Act.
32        (g-1)  The  Secretary of State, in his or her discretion,
33    may designate on each driver's license issued a  space  where
34    the  licensee  may  place  a  sticker or decal, issued by the
 
HB1383 Engrossed            -7-      LRB093 10666 DRJ 11005 b
 1    Secretary of State, of uniform  size  as  the  Secretary  may
 2    specify, that shall indicate in appropriate language that the
 3    owner of the license has renewed his or her driver's license.
 4        (h)  A  person  who acts in good faith in accordance with
 5    the terms of this Section is not liable for  damages  in  any
 6    civil  action  or  subject  to  prosecution  in  any criminal
 7    proceeding for his or her act.

19        Sec. 0.01.  Short title.  This Act may be  cited  as  the
20    Sale of Tobacco to Underage Persons Minors Act.
21    (Source: P.A. 86-1324.)

22        (720 ILCS 675/1) (from Ch. 23, par. 2357)
23        Sec. 1.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no
24    person  minor  under  19 18 years of age shall buy any cigar,

27    sell,  buy  for,  distribute samples of or furnish any cigar,
28    cigarette, smokeless tobacco or tobacco in any of its  forms,
29    to any person minor under 19 18 years of age.
30        For  the  purpose  of  this  Section, "smokeless tobacco"
 
HB1383 Engrossed            -8-      LRB093 10666 DRJ 11005 b
 1    means any tobacco products that are suitable for  dipping  or
 2    chewing.
 3        Tobacco  products  listed  above  may  be  sold through a
 4    vending machine only in the following locations:
 5             (1)  Factories, businesses, offices, private  clubs,
 6        and other places not open to the general public.

15        supervision   of   the   owner  or  an  employee  of  the
16        establishment is considered a sale of tobacco products by
17        that  person.   As  used  in  this  subdivision,  "direct
18        supervision" means that the  owner  or  employee  has  an
19        unimpeded line of sight to the vending machine.
20             (5)  Places  where  the  vending machine can only be
21        operated only by the owner or an  employee  19  years  of
22        over  age or older 18 either directly or through a remote
23        control device if  the  device  is  inaccessible  to  all
24        customers.
25        The  provisions  of this Section do not apply in the case
26    of a person under 19 years of age who is 18 years of age  and
27    the  holder  of a valid United States Military Identification
28    Card.

 2        Sec.  2.  Purpose.  The sale and possession of marijuana,
 3    hashish, cocaine, opium and their derivatives,  is  not  only
 4    prohibited  by  Illinois Law, but the use of these substances
 5    has been deemed injurious to the health of the user.
 6        It has further been determined by the Surgeon General  of
 7    the  United  States  that  the use of tobacco is hazardous to
 8    human health.
 9        The ready availability of smoking herbs to persons  under
10    19  years  of age minors could lead to the use of tobacco and
11    illegal drugs.
12        It is in the best interests of the citizens of the  State
13    of  Illinois to seek to prohibit the spread of illegal drugs,
14    tobacco or smoking materials to persons under 19 years of age
15    minors.  The prohibition of the sale  of  tobacco  and  snuff
16    accessories  and  smoking  herbs to persons under 19 years of
17    age minors would help to curb the usage of illegal drugs  and
18    tobacco products, among our youth.
