    AN ACT concerning transportation.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing
Section 3-603 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/3-603)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-603)
    Sec. 3-603. Application for drive-away permits.
    (a) A dealer who has sold a vehicle of a type otherwise
required to be registered under this Act to a nonresident of
this State who does not have currently valid registration in
his home state, may provide for the operation of such vehicle
without registration from the place of sale to the place of
destination outside of the State of Illinois, by issuing a
drive-away permit in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of
State and by affixing the permit to such vehicle in the manner
prescribed by the Secretary of State. Any vehicle being
operated pursuant to a drive-away permit may not be used for
any other purpose and such permits shall be effective only for
a period of 30 7 days from the date of sale.
    (b) Any dealer may make application to the Secretary of
State upon the appropriate form for drive-away permits for
motor vehicles sold by such dealer. Along with such application
each applicant shall submit proof of his status as a bona fide
dealer and any other information as may be required by the
Secretary of State. A non-resident who has purchased a motor
vehicle from a person who is not a dealer, may likewise apply
to the Secretary of State for a drive-away permit for display
upon such vehicle while being driven from Illinois to the State
of residence of the applicant. Along with such application, the
applicant shall submit proof of his non-residence and
eligibility for a reciprocal exemption from registration in
Illinois.
    All drive-away permits issued under such application shall
bear a distinguishing number and such other features as may be
required by the Secretary of State.
