| ||||||
6 | (15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 4. Identification Card.
| ||||||
8 | (a) The Secretary of State shall issue a
standard Illinois | ||||||
9 | Identification Card to any natural person who is a resident
of | ||||||
10 | the State of Illinois who applies for such card, or renewal | ||||||
11 | thereof,
or who applies for a standard Illinois Identification | ||||||
12 | Card upon release as a
committed person on parole, mandatory | ||||||
13 | supervised release, final discharge, or
pardon from the | ||||||
14 | Department of Corrections by submitting an identification card
| ||||||
15 | issued by the Department of Corrections under Section 3-14-1 of | ||||||
16 | the Unified
Code of Corrections,
together with the prescribed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fees. No identification card shall be issued to any person who | ||||||
2 | holds a valid
foreign state
identification card, license, or | ||||||
3 | permit unless the person first surrenders to
the Secretary of
| ||||||
4 | State the valid foreign state identification card, license, or | ||||||
5 | permit. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | ||||||
6 | Secretary of State and shall include a photograph and signature | ||||||
7 | or mark of the
applicant. However, the Secretary of State may | ||||||
8 | provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois Identification | ||||||
9 | Cards without photographs if the applicant has a bona fide | ||||||
10 | religious objection to being photographed or to the display of | ||||||
11 | his or her photograph. The Illinois Identification Card may be | ||||||
12 | used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation only | ||||||
13 | by the person to
whom it was issued.
As used in this Act, | ||||||
14 | "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally
produced | ||||||
15 | and captured image of an applicant for an identification card. | ||||||
16 | As
used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a person as | ||||||
17 | written by that
person and captured in a manner acceptable to | ||||||
18 | the Secretary of State. | ||||||
19 | (a-5) If an applicant for an identification card has a | ||||||
20 | current driver's license or instruction permit issued by the | ||||||
21 | Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to | ||||||
22 | utilize the same residence address and name on the | ||||||
23 | identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit | ||||||
24 | records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may | ||||||
25 | promulgate rules to implement this provision.
| ||||||
26 | (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois | ||||||
2 | Disabled Person
Identification Card, to any natural person who | ||||||
3 | is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a disabled | ||||||
4 | person as defined in Section 4A of this Act,
who applies for | ||||||
5 | such card, or renewal thereof. No Disabled Person | ||||||
6 | Identification Card shall be issued to any person who
holds a | ||||||
7 | valid
foreign state identification card, license, or permit | ||||||
8 | unless the person first
surrenders to the
Secretary of State | ||||||
9 | the valid foreign state identification card, license, or
| ||||||
10 | permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge no fee to issue | ||||||
11 | such card. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | ||||||
12 | Secretary of State, and shall include a photograph and | ||||||
13 | signature or mark of the
applicant, a designation indicating | ||||||
14 | that the card is an Illinois Disabled
Person Identification | ||||||
15 | Card, and shall include a comprehensible designation
of the | ||||||
16 | type and classification of the applicant's disability as set | ||||||
17 | out in
Section 4A of this Act. However, the Secretary of State | ||||||
18 | may provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois Disabled | ||||||
19 | Person Identification Cards without photographs if the | ||||||
20 | applicant has a bona fide religious objection to being | ||||||
21 | photographed or to the display of his or her photograph. If the | ||||||
22 | applicant so requests, the card shall
include a description of | ||||||
23 | the applicant's disability and any information
about the | ||||||
24 | applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
| ||||||
25 | determines would be helpful to the applicant in securing | ||||||
26 | emergency medical
care. If a mark is used in lieu of a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card in the | ||||||
2 | presence of two witnesses who attest to
the authenticity of the | ||||||
3 | mark. The Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card may be | ||||||
4 | used for identification purposes
in any lawful situation by the | ||||||
5 | person to whom it was issued.
| ||||||
6 | The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be | ||||||
7 | used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of a | ||||||
8 | physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | ||||||
9 | disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | ||||||
10 | the authority to make this determination by his or her
| ||||||
11 | supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | ||||||
12 | advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | ||||||
13 | agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | ||||||
14 | advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| ||||||
15 | other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| ||||||
16 | requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | ||||||
17 | disability,
however an Illinois Disabled Person Identification | ||||||
18 | Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to participate in any | ||||||
19 | program or to receive any benefit
which is not available to all | ||||||
20 | persons with like disabilities.
Notwithstanding any other | ||||||
21 | provisions of law, an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification | ||||||
22 | Card, or evidence that the Secretary of State has issued an
| ||||||
23 | Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, shall not be used | ||||||
24 | by any
person other than the person named on such card to prove | ||||||
25 | that the person
named on such card is a disabled person or for | ||||||
26 | any other purpose unless the
card is used for the benefit of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the person named on such card, and the
person named on such | ||||||
2 | card consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
| ||||||
3 | An optometrist's determination of a visual disability | ||||||
4 | under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation for | ||||||
5 | the purpose of issuing an Illinois Disabled Person | ||||||
6 | Identification Card. | ||||||
7 | When medical information is contained on an Illinois | ||||||
8 | Disabled Person
Identification Card, the Office of the | ||||||
9 | Secretary of State shall not be
liable for any actions taken | ||||||
10 | based upon that medical information.
| ||||||
11 | (c) Beginning January 1, 1986, the Secretary of State shall | ||||||
12 | provide
that each original or renewal Illinois Identification | ||||||
13 | Card or Illinois
Disabled Person Identification Card issued to | ||||||
14 | a person under the age of 21,
shall be of a distinct nature | ||||||
15 | from those Illinois Identification Cards or
Illinois Disabled | ||||||
16 | Person Identification Cards issued to individuals 21
years of | ||||||
17 | age or older. The color designated for Illinois Identification
| ||||||
18 | Cards or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for | ||||||
19 | persons under
the age of 21 shall be at the discretion of the | ||||||
20 | Secretary of State.
| ||||||
21 | (c-1) Beginning January 1, 2003, each original or renewal | ||||||
22 | Illinois
Identification Card or Illinois Disabled Person | ||||||
23 | Identification Card issued to
a person under the age of 21 | ||||||
24 | shall display the date upon which the person
becomes 18 years | ||||||
25 | of age and the date upon which the person becomes 21 years of
| ||||||
26 | age.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) The Secretary of State may issue a Senior Citizen
| ||||||
2 | discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the | ||||||
3 | State of
Illinois who is 60 years of age or older and who | ||||||
4 | applies for such a card or
renewal thereof. The Secretary of | ||||||
5 | State shall charge no fee to issue such
card. The card shall be | ||||||
6 | issued in every county and applications shall be
made available | ||||||
7 | at, but not limited to, nutrition sites, senior citizen
centers | ||||||
8 | and Area Agencies on Aging. The applicant, upon receipt of such
| ||||||
9 | card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall have affixed | ||||||
10 | thereon in
the space provided therefor his signature or mark.
| ||||||
11 | (e) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may | ||||||
12 | designate on each Illinois

13 | Disabled Person Identification Card a space where the card | ||||||
14 | holder may place a sticker or decal, issued by the Secretary of | ||||||
15 | State, of uniform size as the Secretary may specify, that shall | ||||||
16 | indicate in appropriate language that the card holder has | ||||||
17 | renewed his or her Illinois

18 | Disabled Person Identification Card. | ||||||
