Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Allows an applicant for a driver's license to submit, with the application for a driver's license, documentation confirming an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder so such information may be included on the person's driver's license. Provides that any such documentation is confidential. Defines "autism spectrum disorder" and "intellectual disability".

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that an applicant who wishes to include information concerning an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder on the applicant's license shall include, with the application, a form prescribed by the Secretary of State that is completed and signed by a competent medical specialist confirming that the applicant has an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder and that the applicant is mentally fit to operate a motor vehicle (rather than a signed statement by a licensed health care provider confirming that the applicant has an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder).
