| 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, aftercare release, final discharge, or
| 14 | | pardon from the Department of Corrections or Department of | 15 | | Juvenile Justice by submitting an identification card
issued by | 16 | | the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice | 17 | | under Section 3-14-1 or Section 3-2.5-70 of the Unified
Code of | 18 | | Corrections,
together with the prescribed fees. No | 19 | | identification card shall be issued to any person who holds a | 20 | | valid
foreign state
identification card, license, or permit | 21 | | unless the person first surrenders to
the Secretary of
State | 22 | | the valid foreign state identification card, license, or | 23 | | permit. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | 24 | | Secretary of State and shall include a photograph and signature | 25 | | or mark of the
applicant. However, the Secretary of State may |
| | | SB1898 | - 4 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |
|
| 1 | | provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois Identification | 2 | | Cards without photographs if the applicant has a bona fide | 3 | | religious objection to being photographed or to the display of | 4 | | his or her photograph. The Illinois Identification Card may be | 5 | | used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation only | 6 | | by the person to
whom it was issued.
As used in this Act, | 7 | | "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally
produced | 8 | | and captured image of an applicant for an identification card. | 9 | | As
used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a person as | 10 | | written by that
person and captured in a manner acceptable to | 11 | | the Secretary of State. | 12 | | (a-5) If an applicant for an identification card has a | 13 | | current driver's license or instruction permit issued by the | 14 | | Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to | 15 | | utilize the same residence address and name on the | 16 | | identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit | 17 | | records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may | 18 | | promulgate rules to implement this provision.
| 19 | | (a-10) If the applicant is a judicial officer as defined in | 20 | | Section 1-10 of the Judicial Privacy Act or a peace officer, | 21 | | the applicant may elect to have his or her office or work | 22 | | address listed on the card instead of the applicant's residence | 23 | | or mailing address. The Secretary may promulgate rules to | 24 | | implement this provision. For the purposes of this subsection | 25 | | (a-10), "peace officer" means any person who by virtue of his | 26 | | or her office or public employment is vested by law with a duty |
| | | SB1898 | - 5 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |
|
| 1 | | to maintain public order or to make arrests for a violation of | 2 | | any penal statute of this State, whether that duty extends to | 3 | | all violations or is limited to specific violations. | 4 | | (a-15) The Secretary of State may provide for an expedited | 5 | | process for the issuance of an Illinois Identification Card. | 6 | | The Secretary shall charge an additional fee for the expedited | 7 | | issuance of an Illinois Identification Card, to be set by rule, | 8 | | not to exceed $75. All fees collected by the Secretary for | 9 | | expedited Illinois Identification Card service shall be | 10 | | deposited into the Secretary of State Special Services Fund. | 11 | | The Secretary may adopt rules regarding the eligibility, | 12 | | process, and fee for an expedited Illinois Identification Card. | 13 | | If the Secretary of State determines that the volume of | 14 | | expedited identification card requests received on a given day | 15 | | exceeds the ability of the Secretary to process those requests | 16 | | in an expedited manner, the Secretary may decline to provide | 17 | | expedited services, and the additional fee for the expedited | 18 | | service shall be refunded to the applicant. | 19 | | (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
| 20 | | Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois Person | 21 | | with a Disability
Identification Card, to any natural person | 22 | | who is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a person | 23 | | with a disability as defined in Section 4A of this Act,
who | 24 | | applies for such card, or renewal thereof. No Illinois Person | 25 | | with a Disability Identification Card shall be issued to any | 26 | | person who
holds a valid
foreign state identification card, |
| | | SB1898 | - 6 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |
|
| 1 | | license, or permit unless the person first
surrenders to the
| 2 | | Secretary of State the valid foreign state identification card, | 3 | | license, or
permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge no fee | 4 | | to issue such card. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by | 5 | | the Secretary of State, and shall include a photograph and | 6 | | signature or mark of the
applicant, a designation indicating | 7 | | that the card is an Illinois
Person with a Disability | 8 | | Identification Card, and shall include a comprehensible | 9 | | designation
of the type and classification of the applicant's | 10 | | disability as set out in
Section 4A of this Act. However, the | 11 | | Secretary of State may provide by rule for the issuance of | 12 | | Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Cards without | 13 | | photographs if the applicant has a bona fide religious | 14 | | objection to being photographed or to the display of his or her | 15 | | photograph. If the applicant so requests, the card shall
| 16 | | include a description of the applicant's disability and any | 17 | | information
about the applicant's disability or medical | 18 | | history which the Secretary
determines would be helpful to the | 19 | | applicant in securing emergency medical
care. If a mark is used | 20 | | in lieu of a signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card | 21 | | in the presence of two witnesses who attest to
the authenticity | 22 | | of the mark. The Illinois
Person with a Disability | 23 | | Identification Card may be used for identification purposes
in | 24 | | any lawful situation by the person to whom it was issued.
| 25 | | The Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card | 26 | | may be used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of |
| | | SB1898 | - 7 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |

disability, a determination of | 2 | | disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | 3 | | the authority to make this determination by his or her
| 4 | | supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | 5 | | advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | 6 | | agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | 7 | | advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| 8 | | other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| 9 | | requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | 10 | | disability,
however an Illinois Person with a Disability | 11 | | Identification Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to | 12 | | participate in any program or to receive any benefit
which is | 13 | | not available to all persons with like disabilities.
| 14 | | Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an Illinois Person | 15 | | with a Disability
Identification Card, or evidence that the | 16 | | Secretary of State has issued an
Illinois Person with a | 17 | | Disability Identification Card, shall not be used by any
person | 18 | | other than the person named on such card to prove that the | 19 | | person
named on such card is a disabled person or for any other | 20 | | purpose unless the
card is used for the benefit of the person | 21 | | named on such card, and the
person named on such card consents | 22 | | to such use at the time the card is so used.
| 23 | | An optometrist's determination of a visual disability | 24 | | under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation for | 25 | | the purpose of issuing an Illinois Person with a Disability | 26 | | Identification Card. |
| | | SB1898 | - 8 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |

| 26 | | (e) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may |
| | | SB1898 | - 10 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |

Identification Card | 7 | | or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card. | 8 | | (Source: P.A. 97-371, eff. 1-1-12; 97-739, eff. 1-1-13; 97-847, | 9 | | eff. 1-1-13; 97-1064, eff. 1-1-13; 98-323, eff. 1-1-14; 98-463, | 10 | | eff. 8-16-13; 98-558, eff. 1-1-14; 98-756, eff. 7-16-14.)

| 13 | | (a) In the event an identification
card is lost or | 14 | | destroyed, or if there is a correction of
legal name or
| 15 | | residence address, or
a change in the type or class of | 16 | | disability of a holder of an Illinois Person with a Disability | 17 | | Identification Card, the
person named on the card may apply for | 18 | | a duplicate or substitute card, or for a
corrected card. Any | 19 | | application for a corrected card shall be accompanied by
the | 20 | | original card being corrected.

written notice of at least 5 days to | 23 | | the person, require the person to appear
at a Driver

identification
card issued. The failure of the person to |
| | | SB1898 | - 11 - | LRB099 08859 RJF 29031 b |
|
| 1 | | appear is grounds for
cancellation of the
person's | 2 | | identification card under Section 13 of this Act.
| 3 | | (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, the | 4 | | Secretary of State shall restrict the issuance of multiple | 5 | | duplicate identification cards and Illinois Person with a | 6 | | Disability Identification Cards to any individual to 3 per year | 7 | | and 10 for the life of individual.

The Secretary may promulgate | 12 | | rules to implement the requirements of this subsection. For | 13 | | purposes of this Section, "official source" means any document | 14 | | or report created by law enforcement, State or federal | 15 | | government, the judiciary, and any other entity that the | 16 | | Secretary may identify by rule. | 17 | | (Source: P.A. 97-1064, eff. 1-1-13.)
