| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 3-107. Contents and effect.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) Each certificate of title issued by the Secretary of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | State shall
contain:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 1. the date issued;
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | 2. the name and address of the owner;
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 3. the names and addresses of any lienholders, in the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | order of
priority as shown on the application or, if the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | application is based on
a certificate of title, along with | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | an expiration date of up to one calendar year after the end | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | of the term of the lien and an identification number | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | corresponding to the lienholder, as shown on the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | certificate;
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 4. the title number assigned to the vehicle;
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 5. a description of the vehicle including, so far as | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | the following
data exists: its make, year-model, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | identifying number, type of body,
whether new or used, as | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | to house trailers as defined in Section 1-128 of
this Code, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and as to manufactured homes as defined in Section 1-144.03 | ||||||
2 | of this Code, the square footage of the vehicle based upon | ||||||
3 | the outside
dimensions excluding the length of the tongue | ||||||
4 | and
hitch, and, if a new vehicle, the date of the first | ||||||
5 | sale of the vehicle
for use;
| ||||||
6 | 6. an odometer certification as provided for in
this | ||||||
7 | Code; and
| ||||||
8 | 7. any other data the Secretary of State prescribes.
| ||||||
9 | (a-5) In the event the applicant seeks to have the vehicle | ||||||
10 | titled as a custom vehicle or street rod, that fact must be | ||||||
11 | stated in the application. The custom vehicle or street rod | ||||||
12 | must be inspected as required by Section 3-406 of this Code | ||||||
13 | prior to issuance of the title. Upon successful completion of | ||||||
14 | the inspection, the vehicle may be titled in the following | ||||||
15 | manner. The make of the vehicle shall be listed as the make of | ||||||
16 | the actual vehicle or the make it is designed to resemble | ||||||
17 | (e.g., Ford or Chevrolet); the model of the vehicle shall be | ||||||
18 | listed as custom vehicle or street rod; and the year of the | ||||||
19 | vehicle shall be listed as the year the actual vehicle was | ||||||
20 | manufactured or the year it is designed to resemble. A vehicle | ||||||
21 | previously titled as other than a custom vehicle or street rod | ||||||
22 | may be issued a corrected title reflecting the custom vehicle | ||||||
23 | or street rod model if it otherwise meets the requirements for | ||||||
24 | the designation. | ||||||
25 | (b) The certificate of title shall contain forms for | ||||||
26 | assignment and
warranty of title by the owner, and for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assignment and warranty of title
by a dealer, and may contain | ||||||
2 | forms for applications for a certificate of
title by a | ||||||
3 | transferee, the naming of a lienholder and the assignment or
| ||||||
4 | release of the security interest of a lienholder. | ||||||
5 | (b-5) The Secretary of State shall designate on a | ||||||
6 | certificate of title a space where the owner of a vehicle may | ||||||
7 | designate a beneficiary, to whom ownership of the vehicle shall | ||||||
8 | pass in the event of the owner's death.
| ||||||
9 | (c) A certificate of title issued by the Secretary of State | ||||||
10 | is prima
facie evidence of the facts appearing on it.
| ||||||
11 | (d) A certificate of title for a vehicle is not subject to
| ||||||
12 | garnishment, attachment, execution or other judicial process, | ||||||
13 | but this
subsection does not prevent a lawful levy upon the | ||||||
14 | vehicle.
| ||||||
15 | (e) Any certificate of title issued by the Secretary of | ||||||
16 | State is
subject to a lien in favor of the State of Illinois | ||||||
17 | for any fees or
taxes required to be paid under this Act and as | ||||||
18 | have not been paid, as
provided for in this Code.
| ||||||
19 | (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a | ||||||
20 | certificate of title issued by the Secretary of State to a | ||||||
21 | manufactured home is prima facie evidence of the facts | ||||||
22 | appearing on it, notwithstanding the fact that such | ||||||
23 | manufactured home, at any time, shall have become affixed in | ||||||
24 | any manner to real property. | ||||||
25 | (g) An expiration date of up to one calendar year after a | ||||||
26 | perfected security interest in a motor vehicle expires shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | included on each certificate of title issued in which a | ||||||
2 | lienholder has perfected a security interest in the motor | ||||||
3 | vehicle. If the recorded lienholder has not reaffirmed the lien | ||||||
4 | by applying for a corrected title with a new expiration date | ||||||
5 | before the expiration date on the original certificate of | ||||||
6 | title, then the owner of the motor vehicle may apply for a | ||||||
7 | corrected certificate of title without the lienholder | ||||||
8 | appearing on the certificate of title. | ||||||
9 | A corresponding identification number shall appear on the | ||||||
10 | certificate of title that links an electronic mail address to | ||||||
11 | the lienholder in order for the Secretary to inform the | ||||||
12 | lienholder that the Secretary has received a lien release for a | ||||||
13 | particular motor vehicle. | ||||||
