2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5 changing Section 6-106 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/6-106) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-106)
7 Sec. 6-106. Application for license or instruction
8 permit.
9 (a) Every application for any permit or license
10 authorized to be issued under this Act shall be made upon a
11 form furnished by the Secretary of State. Every application
12 shall be accompanied by the proper fee and payment of such
13 fee shall entitle the applicant to not more than 3 attempts
14 to pass the examination within a period of 1 year after the
15 date of application.
16 (b) Every application shall state the name, social
17 security number, zip code, date of birth, sex, and residence
18 address of the applicant; briefly describe the applicant;
19 state whether the applicant has theretofore been licensed as
20 a driver, and, if so, when and by what state or country, and
21 whether any such license has ever been cancelled, suspended,
22 revoked or refused, and, if so, the date and reason for such
23 cancellation, suspension, revocation or refusal; shall
24 include an affirmation by the applicant that all information
25 set forth is true and correct; and shall bear the applicant's
26 signature. The application form may also require the
27 statement of such additional relevant information as the
28 Secretary of State shall deem necessary to determine the
29 applicant's competency and eligibility. The Secretary of
30 State may in his discretion substitute a federal tax number
31 in lieu of a social security number, or he may instead assign
-2- LRB093 07465 DRH 07636 b
1 an additional distinctive number in lieu thereof, where an
2 applicant is prohibited by bona fide religious convictions
3 from applying or is exempt from applying for a social
4 security number. The Secretary of State shall, however,
5 determine which religious orders or sects have such bona fide
6 religious convictions. The Secretary of State may, in his or
7 her discretion, by rule, provide that an application for a
8 drivers permit may include a suitable photograph of the
9 applicant in the form prescribed by the Secretary. The
10 Secretary of State shall may, in his discretion, by rule or
11 regulation, provide that an application for a drivers license
12 must or permit may include a suitable photograph of the
13 applicant in the form prescribed by the Secretary, and he or
14 she shall may further provide that each drivers license shall
15 include a photograph of the driver. The Secretary of State
16 shall may utilize a photograph process or system most
17 suitable to deter alteration or improper reproduction of a
18 drivers license and to prevent substitution of another photo
19 thereon.
20 (c) The application form shall include a notice to the
21 applicant of the registration obligations of sex offenders
22 under the Sex Offender Registration Act. The notice shall be
23 provided in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of
24 State. For purposes of this subsection (c), "sex offender"
25 has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 2 of the Sex
26 Offender Registration Act.
27 (d) Any male United States citizen or immigrant who
28 applies for any permit or license authorized to be issued
29 under this Act or for a renewal of any permit or license, and
30 who is at least 18 years of age but less than 26 years of
31 age, must be registered in compliance with the requirements
32 of the federal Military Selective Service Act. The Secretary
33 of State must forward in an electronic format the necessary
34 personal information regarding the applicants identified in
-3- LRB093 07465 DRH 07636 b
1 this subsection (d) to the Selective Service System. The
2 applicant's signature on the application serves as an
3 indication that the applicant either has already registered
4 with the Selective Service System or that he is authorizing
5 the Secretary to forward to the Selective Service System the
6 necessary information for registration. The Secretary must
7 notify the applicant at the time of application that his
8 signature constitutes consent to registration with the
9 Selective Service System, if he is not already registered.
