Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Of the fees collected under this subsection, $1 of the fees shall be deposited into the Secretary of State Special Services Fund and $99 of the fees shall be deposited into the Road Fund.
(a-1) A Special Hauling Vehicle is a vehicle or combination of vehicles of
the second
division registered under Section 3-813 transporting asphalt or concrete in the
plastic state or a vehicle or combination of vehicles that are subject to the
gross weight limitations in subsection (a) of Section 15-111 for which the
owner of the
vehicle or combination of vehicles has elected to pay, in addition to the
registration fee in subsection (a), $125 to the Secretary of State
for each
registration year. The Secretary shall designate this class of vehicle as
a Special Hauling Vehicle.
In preparing rate schedules on registration applications, the Secretary
of State shall add to the above rates, the $10 registration fee. The
Secretary may decline to accept any renewal filed after July 1st.
The number of axles necessary to carry the maximum load provided
shall be determined from Chapter 15 of this Code.
Every owner of a second division motor vehicle for which he has
elected to pay a mileage weight tax shall keep a daily record upon forms
prescribed by the Secretary of State, showing the mileage covered by
that vehicle in this State. Such record shall contain the license number
of the vehicle and the miles traveled by the vehicle in this State for
each day of the calendar month. Such owner shall also maintain records
of fuel consumed by each such motor vehicle and fuel purchases therefor.
On or before the 10th day of July the owner
shall certify to the Secretary of State upon forms prescribed therefor,
summaries of his daily records which shall show the miles traveled by
the vehicle in this State during the preceding 12 months and such other
information as the Secretary of State may require. The daily record and
fuel records shall be filed, preserved and available for audit for a
period of 3 years. Any owner filing a return hereunder shall certify
that such return is a true, correct and complete return. Any person who
willfully makes a false return hereunder is guilty of perjury and shall
be punished in the same manner and to the same extent as is provided
therefor.
At the time of filing his return, each owner shall pay to the
Secretary of State the proper amount of tax at the rate herein imposed.
Every owner of a vehicle of the second division who elects to pay on
a mileage weight tax basis and who operates the vehicle within this
State, shall file with the Secretary of State a bond in the amount of
$500. The bond shall be in a form approved by the Secretary of State and with
a surety company
approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance to transact
business in this State as surety, and shall be conditioned upon such
applicant's paying to the State of Illinois all money becoming
due by
reason of the operation of the second division vehicle in this State,
together with all penalties and interest thereon.
Upon notice from the Secretary that the registrant has failed to pay the
excess mileage fees, the surety shall immediately pay the fees together with
any penalties and interest thereon in an amount not to exceed the limits of the
bond.
(b) Beginning January 1, 2016, upon the request of the
vehicle owner, a $10 surcharge shall be collected in addition
to the above fees for vehicles in the 12,000 lbs. and less mileage
weight plate category as described in subsection (a) to be
deposited into the Secretary of State Special License Plate
Fund. The $10 surcharge is to identify vehicles in the 12,000
lbs. and less mileage weight plate category as a covered farm
vehicle. The $10 surcharge is an annual flat fee that shall be
based on an applicant's new or existing registration year for
each vehicle in the 12,000 lbs. and less mileage weight plate
category. A designation as a covered farm vehicle under this
subsection (b) shall not alter a vehicle's registration as a
registration in the 12,000 lbs. or less mileage weight category.
The Secretary shall adopt any rules necessary to implement this
subsection (b).
