whether the | 24 | | vehicle identification number, Secretary of State
| 25 | | identification number, Illinois Department of State Police
| 26 | | identification number, or identification plate or sticker |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 17 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |
|
| 1 | | attached to or
stamped on any part being acquired or | 2 | | delivered has been removed,
falsified, altered, defaced, | 3 | | destroyed, or tampered with. If the licensee
or his agent | 4 | | or employee determines that the vehicle identification | 5 | | number,
Secretary of State identification number, Illinois | 6 | | Department of State
Police identification number, | 7 | | identification plate or identification
sticker containing | 8 | | an identification number, or Federal Certificate label
of | 9 | | an essential part has been removed, falsified, altered, | 10 | | defaced,
destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or agent | 11 | | shall not accept or receive
that part.
| 12 | | If that part was physically acquired by or delivered to | 13 | | a licensee or
his agent or employee while that licensee, | 14 | | agent or employee was outside
this State, that licensee or | 15 | | agent or employee shall not bring that
essential part into | 16 | | this State or cause it to be brought into this State.
| 17 | | (2) If the person disposing of or delivering the | 18 | | essential part to
the licensee is a licensed in-state or | 19 | | out-of-state dealer, the licensee or
his agent or employee, | 20 | | after inspecting the essential part as required by
| 21 | | paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), shall examine the | 22 | | Uniform Invoice, or
bill of sale, as the case may be, to | 23 | | ensure that it contains all the
information required to be | 24 | | provided by persons disposing
of essential parts as set | 25 | | forth in subsection (b) of this Section. If the
Uniform | 26 | | Invoice or bill of sale does not contain all the |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 18 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |
|
| 1 | | information
required to be listed by subsection (b) of this | 2 | | Section, the dealer
disposing of or delivering such part or | 3 | | his agent or employee shall record
such additional | 4 | | information or other needed modifications on the Uniform
| 5 | | Invoice or bill of sale or, if needed, an attachment | 6 | | thereto. The dealer
or his agent or employee delivering the | 7 | | essential part shall initial all
additions or | 8 | | modifications to the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale and
| 9 | | legibly print his name at the bottom of each document | 10 | | containing his
initials. If the transaction involves a bill | 11 | | of sale rather
than a Uniform Invoice, the licensee or his | 12 | | agent or employee accepting
delivery of or acquiring the | 13 | | essential part shall affix his printed name
and legible | 14 | | signature on the space on the bill of sale provided for his
| 15 | | signature or, if no space is provided, on the back of the | 16 | | bill of sale.
If the dealer or his agent or
employee | 17 | | disposing of or delivering the essential part cannot or | 18 | | does
not provide all the information required by
subsection | 19 | | (b) of this Section, the licensee or his agent or employee | 20 | | shall
not accept or receive any essential part for which | 21 | | that required
information is not provided. If such | 22 | | essential part for which the
information required is not | 23 | | fully provided was physically acquired while
the licensee | 24 | | or his agent or employee was outside this State, the | 25 | | licensee
or his agent or employee shall not bring that | 26 | | essential part into this
State or cause it to be brought |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 19 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |
|
| 1 | | into this State.
| 2 | | (3) If the person disposing of the essential part is | 3 | | not a licensed
dealer, the licensee or his agent or | 4 | | employee shall, after inspecting the
essential part as | 5 | | required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this
Section | 6 | | verify the identity of the person disposing of
the | 7 | | essential part
by examining 2 sources of identification, | 8 | | one of which shall be either a
driver's license or state | 9 | | identification card. The licensee or his agent
or employee | 10 | | shall then prepare a Uniform Invoice listing all the
| 11 | | information required to be provided by subsection (b) of | 12 | | this Section. In
the space on the Uniform Invoice provided | 13 | | for the dealer license number of
the person disposing of | 14 | | the part, the licensee or his agent or employee
shall list | 15 | | the numbers taken from the documents of identification | 16 | | provided
by the person disposing of the part. The person
| 17 | | disposing of the part
shall affix his printed name and | 18 | | legible signature on the space on the
Uniform Invoice | 19 | | provided for the person disposing of the
essential part and
| 20 | | the licensee or his agent or employee acquiring the part | 21 | | shall affix his
printed name and legible signature on the | 22 | | space provided on the Uniform
Invoice for the person | 23 | | acquiring the essential part. If the person
disposing of | 24 | | the essential part cannot or does not provide all the
| 25 | | information required to be provided by this paragraph, or | 26 | | does not present
2 satisfactory forms of identification, |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 20 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |
|
| 1 | | the licensee or his agent or
employee shall not acquire | 2 | | that essential part.
| 3 | | (d) If an essential part other than quarter panels and
| 4 | | transmissions of vehicles of the first division was delivered | 5 | | by a licensed commercial
delivery service delivering such part | 6 | | on behalf of a licensed dealer, the
person required to comply | 7 | | with subsection (c) of this Section may conduct
the inspection | 8 | | of that part required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) and | 9 | | examination
of the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale required by | 10 | | paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of
this Section immediately | 11 | | after the acceptance of the part.
| 12 | | (1) If the inspection of the essential part pursuant to | 13 | | paragraph (1) of subsection
(c) reveals that the vehicle | 14 | | identification number, Secretary of State
identification | 15 | | number, Illinois Department of State Police identification
| 16 | | number, identification plate or sticker containing an | 17 | | identification
number, or Federal Certificate label of an | 18 | | essential part has been removed,
falsified, altered, | 19 | | defaced, destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or
his | 20 | | agent shall immediately record such fact on the Uniform | 21 | | Invoice or bill
of sale, assign the part an inventory or | 22 | | stock number, place such inventory
or stock number on both | 23 | | the essential part and the Uniform Invoice or bill
of sale, | 24 | | and record the date of the inspection of the part on the | 25 | | Uniform
Invoice or bill of sale.
The licensee shall, within | 26 | | 7 days of such inspection, return such part to
the dealer |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 21 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |
|
| 1 | | from whom it was acquired.
| 2 | | (2) If the examination of the Uniform Invoice or bill | 3 | | of sale pursuant
to paragraph (2) of subsection (c) reveals | 4 | | that any of the information required to be
listed by | 5 | | subsection (b) of this Section is missing, the licensee or | 6 | | person
required to be licensed shall immediately assign a | 7 | | stock or inventory
number to such part, place such stock or | 8 | | inventory number on both the
essential part and the Uniform | 9 | | Invoice or bill of sale, and record the date
of examination | 10 | | on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale. The licensee or
| 11 | | person required to be licensed shall acquire the | 12 | | information missing from
the Uniform Invoice or bill of | 13 | | sale within 7 days of the examination of
such Uniform | 14 | | Invoice or bill of sale. Such information may be received | 15 | | by
telephone conversation with the dealer from whom the | 16 | | part was acquired. If
the dealer provides the missing | 17 | | information the licensee shall record such
information on | 18 | | the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale along with the name of
| 19 | | the person providing the information. If the dealer does | 20 | | not provide the
required information within the | 21 | | aforementioned 7 day period, the licensee
shall return the | 22 | | part to that dealer.
| 23 | | (e) Except for scrap processors, all persons licensed or | 24 | | required to
be licensed who acquire or
dispose of essential | 25 | | parts other than quarter panels and transmissions of
vehicles | 26 | | of the first division shall retain a copy of the Uniform |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 22 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |
|
| 1 | | Invoice
required to be made by subsections (a), (b) and (c) of | 2 | | this Section for a
period of 3 years.
| 3 | | (f) Except for scrap processors, any person licensed or | 4 | | required to
be licensed under Sections 5-101,
5-102 or 5-301 | 5 | | who knowingly fails to record on a Uniform Invoice any of the
| 6 | | information or entries required to be recorded by subsections | 7 | | (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section, or who knowingly places false | 8 | | entries or other misleading
information on such Uniform | 9 | | Invoice, or who knowingly fails to retain for 3 years a
copy of | 10 | | a Uniform Invoice reflecting transactions required to be | 11 | | recorded
by subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, or | 12 | | who knowingly acquires or
disposes of essential parts without | 13 | | receiving, issuing, or executing a
Uniform Invoice reflecting | 14 | | that transaction as required by subsections (a),
(b) and (c) of | 15 | | this Section, or who brings or causes to be brought into
this | 16 | | State essential parts for which the information required to be
| 17 | | recorded on a Uniform Invoice is not recorded as prohibited by | 18 | | subsection
(c) of this Section, or who knowingly fails to | 19 | | comply with the provisions of
this
Section in any other manner | 20 | | shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony. Each
violation shall | 21 | | constitute a separate and distinct offense and a separate
count | 22 | | may be brought in the same indictment or information for each
| 23 | | essential part for which a record was not kept as required by | 24 | | this Section
or for which the person failed to comply with | 25 | | other provisions of this
Section.
| 26 | | (g) The records required to be kept by this Section
may be |
| | | HB2912 Engrossed | - 23 - | LRB097 08953 HEP 49086 b |

inspection of | 2 | | the licensee's premises pursuant to Section 5-403.
| 3 | | (h) The records required to be kept by this Section shall | 4 | | be retained by
the licensee at his principal place of business | 5 | | for a period of 7 years.
| 6 | | (i) (Blank). The requirements of this Section shall not | 7 | | apply to the disposition
of an essential part other than a cowl | 8 | | which has been damaged or altered to
a state in which it can no | 9 | | longer be returned to a usable condition and
which is being | 10 | | sold or transferred to a scrap processor or for delivery to
a | 11 | | scrap processor.
| 12 | | (j) Scrap processors shall, under no circumstances, be | 13 | | permitted to use the Uniform Invoice for any purpose under this | 14 | | Chapter. Any person found in violation of this subsection (j) | 15 | | shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony. | 16 | | (Source: P.A. 91-415, eff. 1-1-00.)
