| 10 | | 1. the date issued;
| 11 | | 2. the name and address of the owner;
| 12 | | 3. the names and addresses of any lienholders, in the | 13 | | order of

| 6 | | 6. an odometer certification as provided for in
this | 7 | | Code; and
| 8 | | 7. any other data the Secretary of State prescribes.
| 9 | | (a-5) In the event the applicant seeks to have the vehicle | 10 | | titled as a custom vehicle or street rod, that fact must be | 11 | | stated in the application. The custom vehicle or street rod | 12 | | must be inspected as required by Section 3-406 of this Code | 13 | | prior to issuance of the title. Upon successful completion of | 14 | | the inspection, the vehicle may be titled in the following | 15 | | manner. The make of the vehicle shall be listed as the make of | 16 | | the actual vehicle or the make it is designed to resemble | 17 | | (e.g., Ford or Chevrolet); the model of the vehicle shall be | 18 | | listed as custom vehicle or street rod; and the year of the | 19 | | vehicle shall be listed as the year the actual vehicle was | 20 | | manufactured or the year it is designed to resemble. A vehicle | 21 | | previously titled as other than a custom vehicle or street rod | 22 | | may be issued a corrected title reflecting the custom vehicle | 23 | | or street rod model if it otherwise meets the requirements for | 24 | | the designation. | 25 | | (b) The certificate of title shall contain forms for | 26 | | assignment and
warranty of title by the owner, and for |

| 4 | | release of the security interest of a lienholder. | 5 | | (b-5) The Secretary of State shall designate on a | 6 | | certificate of title a space where the owner of a vehicle may | 7 | | designate a beneficiary, to whom ownership of the vehicle shall | 8 | | pass in the event of the owner's death.
| 9 | | (c) A certificate of title issued by the Secretary of State | 10 | | is prima
facie evidence of the facts appearing on it.
| 11 | | (d) A certificate of title for a vehicle is not subject to
| 12 | | garnishment, attachment, execution or other judicial process, | 13 | | but this
subsection does not prevent a lawful levy upon the | 14 | | vehicle.
| 15 | | (e) Any certificate of title issued by the Secretary of | 16 | | State is
subject to a lien in favor of the State of Illinois | 17 | | for any fees or
taxes required to be paid under this Act and as | 18 | | have not been paid, as
provided for in this Code.
| 19 | | (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a | 20 | | certificate of title issued by the Secretary of State to a | 21 | | manufactured home is prima facie evidence of the facts | 22 | | appearing on it, notwithstanding the fact that such | 23 | | manufactured home, at any time, shall have become affixed in | 24 | | any manner to real property. | 25 | | (g) An expiration date of up to one calendar year after a | 26 | | perfected security interest in a motor vehicle expires shall be |

|
| 1 | | included on each certificate of title issued in which a | 2 | | lienholder has perfected a security interest in the motor | 3 | | vehicle. If the recorded lienholder has not reaffirmed the lien | 4 | | by applying for a corrected title with a new expiration date | 5 | | before the expiration date on the original certificate of | 6 | | title, then the owner of the motor vehicle may apply for a | 7 | | corrected certificate of title without the lienholder | 8 | | appearing on the certificate of title. | 9 | | A corresponding identification number shall appear on the | 10 | | certificate of title that links an electronic mail address to | 11 | | the lienholder in order for the Secretary to inform the | 12 | | lienholder that the Secretary has received a lien release for a | 13 | | particular motor vehicle. | 14 | | (Source: P.A. 98-749, eff. 7-16-14.)
