 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
 
                            -2-      LRB093 02105 DRH 02111 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
 7    discretion,  by  rule  or   regulation,   provide   that   an
 8    application  for  a  drivers  license or permit may include a
 9    suitable photograph of the applicant in the  form  prescribed
10    by  the  Secretary,  and  he  may  further  provide that each
11    drivers license shall include a photograph of the driver. The
12    Secretary of State may utilize a photograph process or system
13    most suitable to deter alteration or improper reproduction of
14    a drivers license and  to  prevent  substitution  of  another
15    photo thereon.
16        (c)  The  application  form shall include a notice to the
17    applicant of the registration obligations  of  sex  offenders
18    under the Sex Offender Registration Act.  The notice shall be
19    provided  in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of
20    State.  For purposes of this subsection (c),  "sex  offender"
21    has  the  meaning  ascribed  to  it  in  Section 2 of the Sex
22    Offender Registration Act.
23        (d)  Any male United  States  citizen  or  immigrant  who
24    applies  for  any  permit  or license authorized to be issued
25    under this Act or for a renewal of any permit or license, and
26    who is at least 18 years of age but less  than  26  years  of
27    age,  must  be registered in compliance with the requirements
28    of the federal Military Selective Service Act. The  Secretary
29    of  State  must forward in an electronic format the necessary
30    personal information regarding the applicants  identified  in
31    this  subsection  (d)  to  the  Selective Service System. The
32    applicant's  signature  on  the  application  serves  as   an
33    indication  that  the applicant either has already registered
34    with the Selective Service System or that he  is  authorizing
 
                            -3-      LRB093 02105 DRH 02111 b
 1    the  Secretary to forward to the Selective Service System the
 2    necessary information for registration.  The  Secretary  must
 3    notify  the  applicant  at  the  time of application that his
 4    signature  constitutes  consent  to  registration  with   the
 5    Selective Service System, if he is not already registered.
