5 | the form. | ||||||
6 | (3) The owner of a vehicle with a 2-year registration | ||||||
7 | may transfer that registration to another vehicle with the | ||||||
8 | same emissions inspection cycle, if applicable. The owner | ||||||
9 | of a vehicle with a 2-year registration who discontinues | ||||||
10 | use of the registration before the expiration of the 2-year | ||||||
11 | period is not entitled to a complete or prorated refund of | ||||||
12 | the registration fee. | ||||||
13 | (4) The fee for a 2-year registration shall be twice | ||||||
14 | the applicable annual registration fee for the vehicle | ||||||
15 | being registered. | ||||||
16 | If a vehicle issued a registration under this subsection is | ||||||
17 | subject to an annual surcharge under Section 3-806 or 3-815, | ||||||
18 | the Secretary shall collect the surcharge for each registration | ||||||
19 | year of the multi-year registration at the same time the | ||||||
20 | Secretary collects the one-time registration fee. | ||||||
21 | (b) Beginning January 1, 2021, the Secretary shall permit | ||||||
22 | the owner of a trailer to register the trailer for a period of | ||||||
23 | one year or for an extended registration period of up to 5 | ||||||
24 | years. | ||||||
25 | (1) The extended trailer registration shall be based on | ||||||
26 | a recurring 5-year registration period. The trailer owner |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | may apply for an extended registration for the number of | ||||||
2 | years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of | ||||||
3 | the registration application. | ||||||
4 | (2) An applicant for an extended trailer registration | ||||||
5 | shall apply online or by completing and mailing the | ||||||

7 | to the address indicated on the form. | ||||||
8 | (3) The owner of a trailer with an extended | ||||||
9 | registration may transfer that registration to another | ||||||
10 | trailer of the same weight class. The owner of a trailer | ||||||
11 | with an extended registration who discontinues use of the | ||||||
12 | registration before the registration period expires is not | ||||||
13 | entitled to a complete or prorated refund of the | ||||||
14 | registration fee. | ||||||
15 | (4) The fee for an extended registration shall be the | ||||||
16 | same as the applicable annual registration fee for the | ||||||
17 | trailer being registered, multiplied by the number of years | ||||||
18 | or partial years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at | ||||||
19 | the time of the registration application. | ||||||
20 | (c) The Secretary of State may adopt rules to implement | ||||||
21 | this Section.

9 | made, the Secretary may suspend the vehicle registration. | ||||||
10 | The registration shall remain suspended until such time as | ||||||
11 | the required documentation is provided to and reviewed by | ||||||
12 | the Secretary. | ||||||
13 | (4) The owner of a vehicle that is self-insured shall | ||||||
14 | attest that the funds available to pay liability claims | ||||||

16 | or greater than the minimum liability insurance | ||||||
17 | requirements under Section 8-101 or 8-101.1.
