Sec. 3-816.
Installment Payments.
(a) The flat weight tax required to be paid by Section 3-815 for any
vehicles on a calendar year basis may be paid if the owner so elects, in equal
semi-annual installments due on January 1 and July 1 of each licensing year.
Effective with the 1984 registration year the owners of semitrailers registered
under Section 3-814 shall have the option of paying the designated fees to the
Secretary in the following manner:
If registered in the first year the owner shall have the option of paying
$30 the first year and the remaining $30 by the start of the second year;
If registered in the second year the owner shall have the option of paying
$24 the first year and the remaining $24 by the start of the third year;
If registered in the third year the owner shall pay $36 for each semitrailer;
If registered in the fourth year the owner shall pay $24 for each semitrailer; and
If registered in the fifth year the owner shall pay $12 for each semitrailer.
Every such owner who elects to pay such tax in such installments shall file
with the Secretary of State a surety bond or certificate of deposit, as
hereinafter provided, in the amount of the sum of the second installment
of taxes on his vehicle.
Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and
with a surety company approved by the Department of Insurance to
transact business in this State, as surety, and shall be conditioned
upon such owner's paying to the State of Illinois all monies becoming
due by reason of his operation of the second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
The State Treasurer shall issue a certificate of deposit to any such
owner who deposits with the State Treasurer securities of the Federal
Government or the State of Illinois endorsed in blank by such owner, or
a certificate of deposit issued by any bank or savings and loan association
authorized to do business in Illinois, payable to the Secretary of State on or
after July 1 of the year of registration. Such certificate of deposit and
securities shall be approved by and deposited with the State Treasurer, and
shall have a current market value in the total amount which would cover all
monies becoming due and payable to the State of Illinois by reason of his
operation of a second division motor vehicle in this State, together with all
penalties and interest thereon.
The liability of the surety hereunder shall be absolute and upon
notice from the Secretary of State that the second installment has not
been paid on July 1 of any licensing year the surety shall immediately
pay the second installment to the Secretary of State.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment of
such owner's taxes has not been paid on July 1 of any licensing year,
the State Treasurer shall sell such securities and deliver the proceeds
thereof to the Secretary of State to satisfy all monies becoming due by
reason of such owner's operation of a second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
If the owner's liability for the second installment is evidenced by a
certificate of deposit payable to the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of State shall, upon failure of the owner to pay the second installment
by July 1, endorse the certificate of deposit which is in the custody of
the State Treasurer, and thereafter the State Treasurer shall present
the certificate of deposit for payment to the proper bank or savings and
loan association. Upon receipt of payment, the State Treasurer shall forward
to the Secretary of State all monies due by reason of such owner's operation of
a second division motor vehicle in this State, and return the excess, if any,
to the owner on whose behalf the certificate of deposit was previously
deposited.
The State Treasurer shall return securities or proceeds in excess of
that needed to satisfy the Secretary of State for all monies becoming
due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division motor
vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment has
been paid, the State Treasurer shall return such certificate of deposit
or securities deposited with him under this Section to the owner
thereof.
(b) The flat weight tax required by Section 3-815 to be paid on a fiscal
year basis may be paid, if the owner so elects, in equal semi-annual
installments due on July 1st and January 1st of each registration year. From
July 1, 1983 through November 30, 1983, the flat weight tax required
by Section
3-814 for semitrailers previously registered on a fiscal year basis may be
paid, if the owner so elects, by paying the Secretary of State $33 at the time
of registration and the remaining $25 by January 1, 1985 for each 5 1/2 year
semitrailer plate. Every such owner who elects to pay such tax in such
installments shall file with the Secretary of State a surety bond or
certificate of deposit, as hereinafter provided, in the amount of the sum of
the second installment of taxes on his vehicle.
Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and
with a surety company approved by the Department of Insurance to
transact business in this State, as surety, and shall be conditioned
upon such owner's paying to the State of Illinois all monies becoming
due by reason of his operation of the second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
The liability of the surety hereunder shall be absolute and upon
notice from the Secretary of State that the second installment has not
been paid on January 1st of any registration year the surety shall
immediately pay the second installment to the Secretary of State.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment of
such owner's taxes has not been paid on January 1st of any registration
year, the State Treasurer shall sell such securities and deliver the
proceeds thereof to the Secretary of State to satisfy all monies
becoming due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division
motor vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest
thereon.
If the owner's liability for the second installment is evidenced by a
certificate of deposit payable to the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of State shall, upon failure of the owner to pay the second installment
by January 1st, endorse the certificate of deposit which is in the
custody of the State Treasurer, and thereafter the State Treasurer shall
present the certificate of deposit for payment to the proper bank or savings
and loan association. Upon receipt of payment, the State Treasurer shall
forward to the Secretary of State all monies due by reason of such owner's
operation of a second division motor vehicle in this State, and return the
excess, if any, to the owner on whose behalf the certificate of deposit was
previously deposited.
The State Treasurer shall return securities or proceeds in excess of
that needed to satisfy the Secretary of State for all monies becoming
due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division motor
vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment has
been paid, the State Treasurer shall return such certificate of deposit
or securities deposited with him under this Section to the owner
thereof.
(c) The flat weight tax required under Section 3-815 for vehicles
registered in accordance with Section 3-402.1 may be paid, if the owner
elects, in equal semi-annual installments due on April 1 and October 1 of
each licensing year.
(d) In the event any surety pays for any second installment under
this Section, the surety shall have recourse only against the principal
and owner of the vehicles involved and shall have no right or privilege
to demand revocation or suspension of the registration plates
or registration stickers of the vehicles involved. Such surety may, however,
impress a lien as provided in Section 3-828.

(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

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).
