| 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. The Illinois Identification Card may |
|
|
|
HB4858 |
- 2 - |
LRB096 16669 AJT 31952 b |
|
| 1 |
| be used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation | 2 |
| only by the person to
whom it was issued.
As used in this Act, | 3 |
| "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally
produced | 4 |
| and captured image of an applicant for an identification card. | 5 |
| As
used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a person as | 6 |
| written by that
person and captured in a manner acceptable to | 7 |
| the Secretary of State. | 8 |
| (a-5) If an applicant for an identification card has a | 9 |
| current driver's license or instruction permit issued by the | 10 |
| Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to | 11 |
| utilize the same residence address and name on the | 12 |
| identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit | 13 |
| records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may | 14 |
| promulgate rules to implement this provision.
| 15 |
| (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
| 16 |
| Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois | 17 |
| Disabled Person
Identification Card, to any natural person who | 18 |
| is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a disabled | 19 |
| person as defined in Section 4A of this Act,
who applies for | 20 |
| such card, or renewal thereof. No Disabled Person | 21 |
| Identification Card shall be issued to any person who
holds a | 22 |
| valid
foreign state identification card, license, or permit | 23 |
| unless the person first
surrenders to the
Secretary of State | 24 |
| the valid foreign state identification card, license, or
| 25 |
| permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge no fee to issue | 26 |
| such card. The card shall be prepared and

|
|
|
HB4858 |
- 3 - |
LRB096 16669 AJT 31952 b |
|
| 1 |
| Secretary of State, and shall include a photograph and | 2 |
| signature or mark of the
applicant, a designation indicating | 3 |
| that the card is an Illinois Disabled
Person Identification | 4 |
| Card, and shall include a comprehensible designation
of the | 5 |
| type and classification of the applicant's disability as set | 6 |
| out in
Section 4A of this Act. If the applicant so requests, | 7 |
| the card shall
include a description of the applicant's | 8 |
| disability and any information
about the applicant's | 9 |
| disability or medical history which the Secretary
determines | 10 |
| would be helpful to the applicant in securing emergency medical
| 11 |
| care. If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
shall | 12 |
| be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses who | 13 |
| attest to
the authenticity of the mark. The Illinois
Disabled | 14 |
| Person Identification Card may be used for identification | 15 |
| purposes
in any lawful situation by the person to whom it was | 16 |
| issued.
| 17 |
| The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be | 18 |
| used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of a | 19 |
| physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | 20 |
| disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | 21 |
| the authority to make this determination by his or her
| 22 |
| supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | 23 |
| advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | 24 |
| agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | 25 |
| advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| 26 |
| other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
|
|
|
|
HB4858 |

LRB096 16669 AJT 31952 b |
|
| 1 |
| requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | 2 |
| disability,
however an Illinois Disabled Person Identification | 3 |
| Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to participate in any | 4 |
| program or to receive any benefit
which is not available to all | 5 |
| persons with like disabilities.
Notwithstanding any other | 6 |
| provisions of law, an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification | 7 |
| Card, or evidence that the Secretary of State has issued an
| 8 |
| Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, shall not be used | 9 |
| by any
person other than the person named on such card to prove | 10 |
| that the person
named on such card is a disabled person or for | 11 |
| any other purpose unless the
card is used for the benefit of | 12 |
| the person named on such card, and the
person named on such | 13 |
| card consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
| 14 |
| An optometrist's determination of a visual disability | 15 |
| under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation for | 16 |
| the purpose of issuing an Illinois Disabled Person | 17 |
| Identification Card. | 18 |
| When medical information is contained on an Illinois | 19 |
| Disabled Person
Identification Card, the Office of the | 20 |
| Secretary of State shall not be
liable for any actions taken | 21 |
| based upon that medical information.
| 22 |
| (c) Beginning January 1, 1986, the Secretary of State shall | 23 |
| provide
that each original or renewal Illinois Identification | 24 |
| Card or Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card issued to | 25 |

| Section 10. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by | 3 |
| changing Sections 6-106, 6-109, and 6-110 as follows: | 4 |
| (625 ILCS 5/6-106) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-106)
| 5 |
| Sec. 6-106. Application for license or instruction permit.
| 6 |
| (a) Every application for any permit or license authorized | 7 |
| to be issued
under this Act shall be made upon a form furnished | 8 |
| by the Secretary of
State. Every application shall be | 9 |

| 13 |
| (b) Every application shall state the legal name, social | 14 |
| security
number, zip
code, date of birth, sex, and residence | 15 |
| address of the applicant; briefly
describe the applicant; state | 16 |

licensed as a | 17 |
| driver, and, if so, when and by what state or country, and

|
|
|
HB4858 |
- 8 - |
LRB096 16669 AJT 31952 b |
|
| 1 |
| form may
also require the statement of such additional relevant | 2 |
| information as the
Secretary of State shall deem necessary to | 3 |
| determine the applicant's
competency and eligibility. The | 4 |
| Secretary of State may in his discretion
substitute a federal | 5 |
| tax number in lieu of a social security number, or he
may | 6 |
| instead assign an additional distinctive number in lieu | 7 |
| thereof, where
an applicant is prohibited by bona fide | 8 |
| religious convictions from applying
or is exempt from applying | 9 |
| for a social security number. The Secretary of
State shall, | 10 |
| however, determine which religious orders or sects have such
| 11 |
| bona fide religious convictions. The Secretary of State may, in | 12 |
| his
discretion, by rule or regulation, provide that an | 13 |
| application for a
drivers license or permit may include a | 14 |
| suitable photograph of the
applicant in the
form prescribed by | 15 |
| the Secretary, and he may further provide that each
drivers | 16 |
| license shall include a photograph of the driver. The Secretary | 17 |
| of
State may utilize a photograph process or system most | 18 |
| suitable to deter
alteration or improper reproduction of a | 19 |
| drivers license and to prevent
substitution of another photo | 20 |
| thereon.
| 21 |
| (c) The application form shall include a notice to the | 22 |
| applicant of the
registration obligations of sex offenders | 23 |
| under the Sex Offender Registration
Act. The notice shall be | 24 |
| provided in a form and manner prescribed by the
Secretary of | 25 |
| State. For purposes of this subsection (c), "sex offender" has
| 26 |
| the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2 of the Sex Offender |

The Secretary of State must | 8 |
