625 ILCS 5/ Illinois Vehicle Code.

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.

by the proprietor of a company or municipality upon forms furnished by the Department, accompanied by proof of
experience, training and ability of the operator of the testing
equipment, together with proof of approved testing
equipment as defined in Section 13-102 and the giving of a bond
conditioned upon faithful observance of this Section and of rules and
regulations issued by the Department in the amount of $10,000 with
security approved by the Department, the Department shall issue a permit
to the proprietor of such company or municipality to
operate an Official Testing Station. Such permit shall expire 12 months
following its issuance, but may be renewed annually by complying
with the requirements set forth in this Section and upon the payment of a
renewal fee of $50. Proprietors of official testing stations for
which permits have been issued prior to the effective date of this Act
may renew such permits for the renewal fee of $50 on the expiration
of each 12 months following issuance of such permits, by complying with
the requirements set forth in this Section. However, any city, village or
incorporated town shall upon application to the Department and without
payment of any fee or filing of any bond, but upon proof of experience,
training and ability of the operator of the testing equipment, and proof
of approved testing equipment as defined in Section
13-102, be issued a permit to operate such testing station as an
Official Testing Station under this Act.  The permit so
issued shall at all times be displayed in a prominent place in the official testing station which is licensed as
an Official Testing Station under this Act. No
person or company or municipality shall in any manner claim or represent himself or itself to be
an official testing station unless a permit has been issued to him or it
as provided in this Section.

Any person or municipality who or which has received a permit under
this Section may test his or its own second division
vehicles and issue certificates of safety and conduct emission inspections of
his or its own second division vehicles in accordance with the requirements of
Section 13-109.1 with respect to any such
second division vehicles owned, operated or controlled by him or it.

Each such permit issued by the Department shall state on its face the
location of the official testing station to be operated under the permit and
safety tests shall be made only at such location. However, the
Department may, upon application, authorize a change in the
location of the official testing station and the removal of the testing
equipment to the new location. Upon approval of such application, the
Department shall issue an endorsement which the applicant shall affix to
his permit. Such endorsement constitutes authority for the applicant to
make such change in location and to remove his testing equipment at the
times and to the places stated in the endorsement.
