6     (625 ILCS 5/3-112)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-112)
7     Sec. 3-112. Transfer.
8     (a) If an owner transfers his or her interest in a vehicle,
9 other than by the creation of a security interest, at the time
10 of the delivery of the vehicle he or she shall execute to the
11 transferee an assignment and warranty of title in the space
12 provided on the certificate of title, or as the Secretary of
13 State prescribes, and cause the certificate and assignment to
14 be mailed or delivered to the transferee or to the Secretary of
15 State.
16     If the vehicle is subject to a tax under the Mobile Home
17 Local Services Tax Act in a county with a population of less
18 than 3,000,000, the owner shall also provide to the transferee
19 a certification by the treasurer of the county in which the
20 vehicle is situated that all taxes imposed upon the vehicle for
21 the years the owner was the actual titleholder of the vehicle
22 have been paid. The transferee shall be liable only for the
23 taxes he or she incurred while he or she was the actual
24 titleholder of the mobile home. The county treasurer shall
25 refund any amount of taxes paid by the transferee that were
26 imposed in years when the transferee was not the actual
27 titleholder. The provisions of this amendatory Act of 1997
28 (P.A. 90-542) apply retroactively to January 1, 1996. In no
29 event may the county treasurer refund amounts paid by the
30 transferee during any year except the 10 years immediately
31 preceding the year in which the refund is made. If the owner is
32 a licensed dealer who has purchased the vehicle and is holding

1 it for resale, in lieu of acquiring a certification from the
2 county treasurer he shall forward the certification received
3 from the previous owner to the next buyer of the vehicle. The
4 owner shall cause the certification to be mailed or delivered
5 to the Secretary of State with the certificate of title and
6 assignment.
7     (b) Except as provided in Section 3-113, the transferee
8 shall, promptly and within 20 days after delivery to him of the
9 vehicle and the assigned title, execute the application for a
10 new certificate of title in the space provided therefor on the
11 certificate or as the Secretary of State prescribes, and cause
12 the certificate and application to be mailed or delivered to
13 the Secretary of State.
14     (c) Upon request of the owner or transferee, a lienholder
15 in possession of the certificate of title shall, unless the
16 transfer was a breach of his security agreement, either deliver
17 the certificate to the transferee for delivery to the Secretary
18 of State or, upon receipt from the transferee of the owner's
19 assignment, the transferee's application for a new certificate
20 and the required fee, mail or deliver them to the Secretary of
21 State. The delivery of the certificate does not affect the
22 rights of the lienholder under his security agreement.
23     (d) If a security interest is reserved or created at the
24 time of the transfer, the certificate of title shall be
25 retained by or delivered to the person who becomes the
26 lienholder, and the parties shall comply with the provisions of
27 Section 3-203.

33 of this Section and Section 3-115 requiring action by him as
34 not liable as owner for any damages thereafter resulting from
35 operation of the vehicle.
