| by changing Section 4 as follows:
| 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, final discharge, or
pardon from the | 14 |
| Department of Corrections by submitting an identification card
| 15 |
| issued by the Department of Corrections under Section 3-14-1 of | 16 |
| the Unified
Code of Corrections,
together with the prescribed | 17 |
| fees. No identification card shall be issued to any person who | 18 |
| holds a valid
foreign state
identification card, license, or | 19 |
| permit unless the person first surrenders to
the Secretary of
| 20 |
| State the valid foreign state identification card, license, or | 21 |
| permit. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | 22 |
| Secretary of State and shall include a photograph and signature | 23 |
| or mark of the
applicant. The Illinois Identification Card may |
|
|
|
HB5949 |
- 2 - |
LRB096 18197 AJT 33572 b |
|
| 1 |
| be used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation | 2 |
| only by the person to
whom it was issued.
As used in this Act, | 3 |
| "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally
produced | 4 |
| and captured image of an applicant for an identification card. | 5 |
| As
used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a person as | 6 |
| written by that
person and captured in a manner acceptable to | 7 |
| the Secretary of State.
| 8 |
| (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
| 9 |
| Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois | 10 |
| Disabled Person
Identification Card, to any natural person who | 11 |
| is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a disabled | 12 |
| person as defined in Section 4A of this Act,
who applies for | 13 |
| such card, or renewal thereof. No Disabled Person | 14 |
| Identification Card shall be issued to any person who
holds a | 15 |
| valid
foreign state identification card, license, or permit | 16 |
| unless the person first
surrenders to the
Secretary of State | 17 |
| the valid foreign state identification card, license, or
| 18 |
| permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge no fee to issue | 19 |
| such card. The card shall be prepared and

| Secretary of State, and shall include a photograph and | 21 |
| signature or mark of the
applicant, a designation indicating | 22 |
| that the card is an Illinois Disabled
Person Identification | 23 |
| Card, and shall include a comprehensible designation
of the | 24 |
| type and classification of the applicant's disability as set | 25 |
| out in
Section 4A of this Act. If the applicant so requests, | 26 |
| the card shall
include a description of the applicant's |
|
|
|

|
| 1 |
| disability and any information
about the applicant's | 2 |
| disability or medical history which the Secretary
determines | 3 |
| would be helpful to the applicant in securing emergency medical
| 4 |
| care. If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
shall | 5 |
| be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses who | 6 |
| attest to
the authenticity of the mark. The Illinois
Disabled | 7 |
| Person Identification Card may be used for identification | 8 |
| purposes
in any lawful situation by the person to whom it was | 9 |
| issued.
| 10 |
| The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be | 11 |
| used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of a | 12 |
| physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | 13 |
| disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | 14 |
| the authority to make this determination by his or her
| 15 |
| supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | 16 |
| advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | 17 |
| agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | 18 |
| advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| 19 |
| other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| 20 |
| requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | 21 |
| disability,
however an Illinois Disabled Person Identification | 22 |
| Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to participate in any | 23 |
| program or to receive any benefit
which is not available to all | 24 |
| persons with like disabilities.
Notwithstanding any other | 25 |
| provisions of law, an Illinois Disabled Person
Identification | 26 |
| Card, or evidence that the Secretary of State has issued an
|
|
|
|

person other than the person named on such card to prove | 3 |
| that the person
named on such card is a disabled person or for | 4 |
| any other purpose unless the
card is used for the benefit of | 5 |
| the person named on such card, and the
person named on such | 6 |
| card consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
| 7 |
| An optometrist's determination of a visual disability | 8 |
| under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation for | 9 |
| the purpose of issuing an Illinois Disabled Person | 10 |
| Identification Card. | 11 |
| When medical information is contained on an Illinois | 12 |

| Secretary of State shall not be
liable for any actions taken | 14 |
| based upon that medical information.
