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 |
Sections 3-801, 3-905, and 15-314 as follows:
|
(625 ILCS 5/3-801) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-801)
|
Sec. 3-801. Registration. |
(a) Except as provided herein for new residents,
every |
owner of any vehicle which shall be operated upon the public |
highways
of this State shall, within 24 hours after becoming |
the owner or at such
time as such vehicle becomes subject to |
registration under the provisions
of this Act, file in an |
office of the Secretary of State, an application
for |
registration properly completed and executed. New residents |
need not secure
registration until 30 days after establishing |
residency in this State,
provided the vehicle is properly |
registered in another jurisdiction. By the
expiration of such |
30 day statutory grace period, a new resident shall
comply with |
the provisions of this Act and apply for Illinois vehicle
|
registration. All applications for registration shall be |
accompanied by all
documentation required under the provisions |
of this Act. The appropriate
registration fees and taxes |
provided for in this Article of this Chapter
shall be paid to |
|
the Secretary of State with the application for
registration of |
vehicles subject to registration under this Act.
|
(b) Any resident of this State, who has been serving as a |
member of the
United States Armed Services outside of the State |
of Illinois, need not
secure registration until 45 days after |
returning to this
State, provided the vehicle displays |
temporary military registration.
|
(c) When an application is submitted by mail, the applicant |
may not
submit cash or postage stamps for payment of fees or |
taxes due. The
Secretary in his discretion, may decline to |
accept a personal or company
check or electronic payment in |
payment of fees or taxes. An application submitted to a dealer, |
or
a remittance made to the Secretary of State shall be deemed |
in compliance
with this Section.

|
(625 ILCS 5/3-905) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-905)
|
Sec. 3-905. Bond; fee; duration of license. Such applicant |
shall,
with
his application, deposit with the Secretary of |
State a bond as hereinafter
provided, for each location at |
which the applicant intends to act as a
remittance agent. The |
application shall be accompanied by the payment of a
license |
fee in the sum of $50.00 (or $25.00 if such application is |
filed
after July 1) for each location at which he proposes to |
act as a remittance
agent. If the applicant shall have complied |
with all of the requirements of
this Section and the Secretary |
|
of State shall find after investigation that
the applicant is |
financially sound and of good business integrity, he shall
|
issue the required license. Such license shall terminate on |
December 31 of
the year for which it is issued, but upon |
application prior to November 15
of any year for which a |
license is in effect may be renewed for the next
succeeding |
calendar year. Such application shall be accompanied by the
|
payment of an annual license fee of $50.00 for each location at |
which the
applicant proposes to act as a remittance agent and |
the posting of the bond
herein provided, for each such |
location.
|
The bond required by this Section shall be for the term of |
the
license, or renewal thereof, for which application is made, |
and shall
run to the People of the State of Illinois, with |
surety by a bonding or
insurance company authorized to do |
business in this State, to be
approved by the Secretary of |
State. It shall be conditioned upon the
proper transmittal of |
all remittances by the applicant as a
remittance agent and the |
performance of all undertakings in connection
therewith. It |
shall be in the minimum sum of $10,000, or in an amount
equal |
to the aggregate sum of money transmitted to the State by
the |
applicant during the highest 15 day period in the fiscal
year
|
immediately preceding the one for which application is made |
(rounded to
the nearest $1,000), whichever is the greater. |
However, for the purpose
of determining the bond requirements |
hereunder, remittances made by
applicants in the form of money |
|
orders, or checks, or electronic payments which are made |
payable
directly to the Secretary of State or the Illinois |
Department of
Revenue by the remitter, shall not be
considered |
in the aggregate. The bond requirement of this
Section shall |
not
apply to banks, savings and loan associations, and credit
|
unions chartered by the State
of Illinois or the United States; |
provided that the banks, savings
and
loan associations, and |
credit unions provide to the
Secretary of State an affidavit |
stating that
the bank, savings and loan association, or credit |
union is
sufficiently bonded to meet the
requirements as |
required above. Such affidavit shall be signed by an officer
of |
the bank, savings and loan association, or credit union and
|
shall be notarized.

|
(625 ILCS 5/15-314) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-314)
|
Sec. 15-314. Payment of Fees. The Department shall |
prescribe the time
and method of payment of all appropriate |
fees authorized by Section 15-302
through 15-313.
|
The Department may, at its discretion, establish credit |
accounts with billing
to be made at intervals not exceeding one |
month.
|
Failure to pay invoices in full within a period of 30 days |
after the billing
date shall be sufficient cause for the |
Department to withhold issuance of
any further permits or |
credit to the individual, company, or subsidiary firm.
