| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Identification Card Act is amended | 5 | | by changing Sections 4, 5, and 11 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 Illinois | 9 | | Identification Card to any natural person who is a resident
of | 10 | | the State of Illinois who applies for such card, or renewal | 11 | | thereof,
or who applies for a standard Illinois Identification | 12 | | Card upon release as a
committed person on parole, mandatory | 13 | | supervised release, final discharge, or
pardon from the | 14 | | Department of Corrections by submitting an identification card
| 15 | | issued by the Department of Corrections under Section 3-14-1 of | 16 | | the Unified
Code of Corrections,
together with the prescribed | 17 | | fees. No identification card shall be issued to any person who | 18 | | holds a valid
foreign state
identification card, license, or | 19 | | permit unless the person first surrenders to
the Secretary of
| 20 | | State the valid foreign state identification card, license, or | 21 | | permit. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | 22 | | Secretary of State and shall include a photograph and signature | 23 | | or mark of the
applicant. However, the Secretary of State may |
| | | SB2837 Enrolled | - 2 - | LRB097 17144 HEP 62342 b |
|
| 1 | | provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois Identification | 2 | | Cards without photographs if the applicant has a bona fide | 3 | | religious objection to being photographed or to the display of | 4 | | his or her photograph. The Illinois Identification Card may be | 5 | | used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation only | 6 | | by the person to
whom it was issued.
As used in this Act, | 7 | | "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally
produced | 8 | | and captured image of an applicant for an identification card. | 9 | | As
used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a person as | 10 | | written by that
person and captured in a manner acceptable to | 11 | | the Secretary of State. | 12 | | (a-5) If an applicant for an identification card has a | 13 | | current driver's license or instruction permit issued by the | 14 | | Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to | 15 | | utilize the same residence address and name on the | 16 | | identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit | 17 | | records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may | 18 | | promulgate rules to implement this provision.
| 19 | | (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
| 20 | | Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois | 21 | | Disabled Person
Identification Card, to any natural person who | 22 | | is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a disabled | 23 | | person as defined in Section 4A of this Act,
who applies for | 24 | | such card, or renewal thereof. No Disabled Person | 25 | | Identification Card shall be issued to any person who
holds a | 26 | | valid
foreign state identification card, license, or permit |
| | | SB2837 Enrolled | - 3 - | LRB097 17144 HEP 62342 b |
|
| 1 | | unless the person first
surrenders to the
Secretary of State | 2 | | the valid foreign state identification card, license, or
| 3 | | permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge no fee to issue | 4 | | such card. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | 5 | | Secretary of State, and shall include a photograph and | 6 | | signature or mark of the
applicant, a designation indicating | 7 | | that the card is an Illinois Disabled
Person Identification | 8 | | Card, and shall include a comprehensible designation
of the | 9 | | type and classification of the applicant's disability as set | 10 | | out in
Section 4A of this Act. However, the Secretary of State | 11 | | may provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois Disabled | 12 | | Person Identification Cards without photographs if the | 13 | | applicant has a bona fide religious objection to being | 14 | | photographed or to the display of his or her photograph. If the | 15 | | applicant so requests, the card shall
include a description of | 16 | | the applicant's disability and any information
about the | 17 | | applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
| 18 | | determines would be helpful to the applicant in securing | 19 | | emergency medical
care. If a mark is used in lieu of a | 20 | | signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card in the | 21 | | presence of two witnesses who attest to
the authenticity of the | 22 | | mark. The Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card may be | 23 | | used for identification purposes
in any lawful situation by the | 24 | | person 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 |
| | | SB2837 Enrolled | - 4 - | LRB097 17144 HEP 62342 b |
|
| 1 | | physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | 2 | | disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | 3 | | the authority to make this determination by his or her
| 4 | | supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | 5 | | advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | 6 | | agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | 7 | | advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| 8 | | other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| 9 | | requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | 10 | | disability,
however an Illinois Disabled Person Identification | 11 | | Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to participate in any | 12 | | program or to receive any benefit
which is not available to all | 13 | | persons with like disabilities.
Notwithstanding any other | 14 | | provisions of law, an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification | 15 | | Card, or evidence that the Secretary of State has issued an
| 16 | | Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, shall not be used | 17 | | by any
person other than the person named on such card to prove | 18 | | that the person
named on such card is a disabled person or for | 19 | | any other purpose unless the
card is used for the benefit of | 20 | | the person named on such card, and the
person named on such | 21 | | card consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
| 22 | | An optometrist's determination of a visual disability | 23 | | under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation for | 24 | | the purpose of issuing an Illinois Disabled Person | 25 | | Identification Card. | 26 | | When medical information is contained on an Illinois |
| | | SB2837 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB097 17144 HEP 62342 b |
|
| 1 | | Disabled Person
Identification Card, the Office of the | 2 | | Secretary of State shall not be
liable for any actions taken | 3 | | based upon that medical information.
| 4 | | (c) Beginning January 1, 1986, the Secretary of State shall | 5 | | provide
that each original or renewal Illinois Identification | 6 | | Card or Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card issued to | 7 | | a person under the age of 21,
shall be of a distinct nature | 8 | | from those Illinois Identification Cards or
Illinois Disabled | 9 | | Person Identification Cards issued to individuals 21
years of | 10 | | age or older. The color designated for Illinois Identification
| 11 | | Cards or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for | 12 | | persons under
the age of 21 shall be at the discretion of the | 13 | | Secretary of State.
| 14 | | (c-1) Beginning January 1, 2003, each original or renewal | 15 | | Illinois
Identification Card or Illinois Disabled Person | 16 | | Identification Card issued to
a person under the age of 21 | 17 | | shall display the date upon which the person
becomes 18 years | 18 | | of age and the date upon which the person becomes 21 years of
| 19 | | age. | 20 | | (c-3) The General Assembly recognizes the need to identify | 21 | | military veterans living in this State for the purpose of | 22 | | ensuring that they receive all of the services and benefits to | 23 | | which they are legally entitled, including healthcare, | 24 | | education assistance, and job placement. To assist the State in | 25 | | identifying these veterans and delivering these vital services | 26 | | and benefits, the Secretary of State is authorized to issue |

This authorization is predicated on the | 4 | | unique status of veterans. The Secretary may not issue any | 5 | | other identification card which identifies an occupation, | 6 | | status, affiliation, hobby, or other unique characteristics of | 7 | | the identification card holder which is unrelated to the | 8 | | purpose of the identification card.
| 9 | | (c-5) Beginning on or before July 1, 2015, the Secretary of | 10 | | State shall designate a space on each original or renewal | 11 | | identification card where, at the request of the applicant, the | 12 | | word "veteran" shall be placed. The veteran designation shall | 13 | | be available to a person identified as a veteran under | 14 | | subsection (b) of Section 5 of this Act who was discharged or | 15 | | separated under honorable conditions. | 16 | | (d) The Secretary of State may issue a Senior Citizen
| 17 | | discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the | 18 | | State of
Illinois who is 60 years of age or older and who | 19 | | applies for such a card or
renewal thereof. The Secretary of | 20 | | State shall charge no fee to issue such
card. The card shall be | 21 | | issued in every county and applications shall be
made available | 22 | | at, but not limited to, nutrition sites, senior citizen
centers | 23 | | and Area Agencies on Aging. The applicant, upon receipt of such
| 24 | | card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall have affixed | 25 | | thereon in
the space provided therefor his signature or mark.
| 26 | | (e) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may |
| | | SB2837 Enrolled | - 7 - | LRB097 17144 HEP 62342 b |

| 14 | | (e-3) The General Assembly recognizes the need to identify | 15 | | military veterans living in this State for the purpose of | 16 | | ensuring that they receive all of the services and benefits to | 17 | | which they are legally entitled, including healthcare, | 18 | | education assistance, and job placement. To assist the State in | 19 | | identifying these veterans and delivering these vital services | 20 | | and benefits, the Secretary of State is authorized to issue | 21 | | drivers' licenses with the word "veteran" appearing on the face | 22 | | of the licenses. This authorization is predicated on the unique | 23 | | status of veterans.

commercial motor vehicle operators of the | 11 | | requirements of the Uniform
Commercial Driver License Act, | 12 | | Article V of this Chapter, and shall make
provisions to insure | 13 | | that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial
driver's | 14 | | license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
| 15 | | obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
| 16 | | driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times, | 17 | | dates and
locations where these commercial driver's tests shall | 18 | | be conducted. Any
applicant, regardless of the current | 19 | | expiration date of the applicant's
driver's license, may be | 20 | | subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
Failure to comply | 21 | | with the Secretary's assignment may result in the
applicant's | 22 | | forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a commercial driver's
| 23 | | license prior to April 1, 1992.

specify, that | 8 | | shall indicate in appropriate language that the owner of the
| 9 | | license has renewed his or her driver's license.
