 1        AN ACT in relation to vehicles.

 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
 
HB0374 Engrossed            -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
 
HB0374 Engrossed            -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.
