| Section 6-110 as follows: | 6 |
| (625 ILCS 5/6-110) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 6-110) | 7 |
| Sec. 6-110. Licenses issued to drivers.
| 8 |
| (a) The
The Secretary of State shall issue to every | 9 |
| qualifying applicant a
driver's license as applied for, which | 10 |
| license shall bear a
distinguishing
number assigned to the | 11 |
| licensee, the legal name, social security number,
zip
code, | 12 |
| date of birth, residence address, and a brief description of | 13 |
| the
licensee, and
a space where the licensee may write his | 14 |
| usual signature.
| 15 |
| If the licensee is less than 17 years of age, the license | 16 |
| shall, as a
matter of law, be invalid for the operation of any | 17 |
| motor vehicle during
any time the licensee is prohibited from | 18 |
| being on any street or highway
under the provisions of the | 19 |
| Child Curfew Act.
| 20 |
| Licenses issued shall also indicate the classification and
| 21 |
| the restrictions under Section 6-104 of this Code.
| 22 |
| In lieu of the social security number, the Secretary may in | 23 |
| his
discretion substitute a federal tax number or other | 24 |
| distinctive number.
| 25 |
| A driver's license issued may, in the discretion of the | 26 |
| Secretary,
include a suitable photograph of a type prescribed | 27 |
| by the Secretary.

| the
signatures of the donor and 2 witnesses. The Secretary | 3 |
| shall also inform
each applicant or licensee of this format, | 4 |
| describe the procedure for its
execution, and may offer the | 5 |
| necessary witnesses; provided that in so doing,
the Secretary | 6 |
| shall advise the applicant or licensee that he or she is
under | 7 |
| no compulsion to execute a document of gift. A brochure
| 8 |
| explaining this method of executing an anatomical gift document | 9 |

to each applicant or licensee. The brochure | 10 |
| shall advise the applicant or
licensee that he or she is under | 11 |
| no compulsion to execute a document of
gift, and that he or she | 12 |
| may wish to consult with family, friends or clergy
before doing | 13 |
| so. The Secretary of State may undertake additional efforts,
| 14 |
| including education and awareness activities, to promote organ | 15 |
| and tissue
donation.
| 16 |
| (c) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's | 17 |
| license issued
a space where the licensee may place a sticker | 18 |
| or decal of the uniform
size as the Secretary may specify, | 19 |
| which sticker or decal may indicate in
appropriate language | 20 |
| that the owner of the license carries an Emergency
Medical | 21 |
| Information Card.
| 22 |
| The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital, | 23 |
| school,
medical group, or association interested in assisting | 24 |
| in implementing
the Emergency Medical Information Card, but | 25 |
| shall meet the specifications
as the Secretary may by rule or | 26 |
| regulation require.
| 27 |
| (d) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's | 28 |
| license issued
a space where the licensee may indicate his | 29 |
| blood type and RH factor.
| 30 |
| (e) The Secretary of State shall provide
that each original | 31 |
| or renewal driver's license issued to a licensee under
21 years | 32 |
| of age shall be of a distinct nature from those driver's | 33 |
| licenses
issued to individuals 21 years of age and older. The | 34 |
| color designated for
driver's licenses for licensees under 21 | 35 |
| years of age shall be at the
discretion of the Secretary of | 36 |
| State.

| licensed
commercial motor vehicle operators of the | 7 |

| that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial
driver's | 10 |
| license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
| 11 |
| obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
| 12 |
| driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times, | 13 |
| dates and
locations where these commercial driver's tests shall | 14 |
| be conducted. Any
applicant, regardless of the current | 15 |
| expiration date of the applicant's
driver's license, may be | 16 |
| subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
Failure to comply | 17 |
| with the Secretary's assignment may result in the

| 19 |
| license prior to April 1, 1992.

she has drafted a living will in accordance with the | 23 |
| Illinois Living Will
Act or a durable power of attorney for | 24 |
| health care in accordance with the
Illinois Power of Attorney | 25 |
| Act.
| 26 |
| (g-1) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may | 27 |
| designate on
each driver's license issued a space where the | 28 |
| licensee may place a sticker or
decal, issued by the Secretary | 29 |
| of State, of uniform size as the Secretary may
specify, that | 30 |
| shall indicate in appropriate language that the owner of the
| 31 |
| license has renewed his or her driver's license.
| 32 |
| (h) A person who acts in good faith in accordance with the | 33 |
| terms of
this Section is not liable for damages in any civil | 34 |
| action or subject to
prosecution in any criminal proceeding for | 35 |
| his or her act.
