5    number or Secretary of State or Illinois Department of
6    State Police identification number for an essential part

26    cowls, shall apply only to those essential parts which are

 

 

HB0107- 6 -LRB102 03975 HEP 13991 b

1    6 model years of age or newer. In determining the model
2    year of such an essential part it may be presumed that the
3    identification number of the vehicle from which the
4    essential part came or the identification number affixed
5    to the essential part itself acquired by the licensee
6    denotes the model year of that essential part. This
7    presumption, however, shall not apply if the gross
8    appearance of the essential part does not correspond to
9    the year, make or model of either the identification
10    number of the vehicle from which the essential part is
11    alleged to have come or the identification number which is
12    affixed to the essential part itself. To determine whether
13    an essential part is 6 years of age or newer within this
14    paragraph, the model year of the essential part shall be
15    subtracted from the calendar year in which the essential
16    part is acquired or disposed of by the licensee. If the
17    remainder is 6 or less, the record of the acquisition or
18    disposition of that essential part shall be kept as
19    required by this Section.
20        (F) The requirements of paragraph (2) of subsection
21    (a) of this Section shall not apply to the disposition of
22    an essential part other than a cowl which has been damaged
23    or altered to a state in which it can no longer be returned
24    to a usable condition and which is being sold or
25    transferred to a scrap processor or for delivery to a
26    scrap processor.
