| 1 | | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 3021
| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 3021 by replacing | 3 | | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| 4 | | "Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 4-103 as follows:
| 6 | | (625 ILCS 5/4-103) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 4-103)
| 7 | | Sec. 4-103.
Offenses relating to motor vehicles and other
| 8 | | vehicles - Felonies.
| 9 | | (a) Except as provided in subsection (a-1), it is a | 10 | | violation of this

part of a vehicle to receive, possess, | 13 | | conceal, sell, dispose, or transfer

|
| 1 | | by law and that such acquisitions
and dispositions are | 2 | | reflected by documents of title, uniform invoices,
rental | 3 | | contracts, leasing agreements and bills of sale. It may be
| 4 | | inferred, therefore that a person exercising exclusive | 5 | | unexplained
possession over a stolen or converted vehicle | 6 | | or an essential part of a
stolen or converted vehicle has | 7 | | knowledge that such vehicle or essential
part is stolen or | 8 | | converted, regardless of whether the date on which such
| 9 | | vehicle or essential part was stolen is recent or remote;
| 10 | | (2) A person to knowingly remove, alter, deface, | 11 | | destroy,

| 14 | | number;

vehicle or any essential part thereof;
| 17 | | (4) A person to buy, receive, possess, sell or dispose | 18 | | of a vehicle,
or any essential part thereof, with knowledge | 19 | | that the identification
number of the vehicle or any | 20 | | essential part thereof having an
identification number has | 21 | | been removed or falsified;

violate
this
