Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

and permit and may require such information and data as necessary and proper,

(e) Rules or regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State under this

governing the application for and issuance and use of permits, and shall
provide for the number of permits per vehicle or per applicant, so as to
preclude evasion of annual registration requirements as may be required by
this Act.
(f) Any permit under this Section is subject to suspension or revocation
under this Act, and in addition, any such permit is subject to suspension
or revocation should the Secretary of State determine that the vehicle
identified in any permit should be properly registered in Illinois. In the
event any such permit is suspended or revoked, the permit is then null and
void, may not be re-instated, nor is a refund therefor available. The
vehicle identified in such permit may not thereafter be operated in
Illinois without being properly registered as provided in this Chapter.
