| 1 | | This card may be in electronic format at the request of the | 2 | | insured, provided that the electronic insurance card satisfies | 3 | | all other requirements of law and rule, including those of this | 4 | | Section, regarding form and content and must be accessible via | 5 | | a mobile electronic device.
| 6 | | The form, contents and manner of issuance of the insurance | 7 | | card shall be

shall contain | 13 | | the following disclaimer: "Examine policy exclusions

If the insurance policy represented by the | 16 | | insurance card does
not cover any driver operating the motor | 17 | | vehicle with the owner's
permission, or the owner when | 18 | | operating a motor vehicle other than the
vehicle for which the | 19 | | policy is issued, the insurance card shall
contain a warning of | 20 | | such limitations in the coverage provided by the
policy.
| 21 | | No insurer shall issue a card, similar in appearance, form | 22 | | and content
to the insurance card required under this Section, | 23 | | in connection with an
insurance policy that does not provide | 24 | | the liability insurance coverage
required under Section 7-601 | 25 | | of this Code.
