Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

625 ILCS 5/3-414.5

    (625 ILCS 5/3-414.5)
    Sec. 3-414.5. Multi-year registration.
    (a) The Secretary of State shall permit the owner of a motor vehicle of the first division or a motor vehicle of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds or a motor vehicle of the second division applying for a C class registration plate to register the motor vehicle for a period of 2 years if the owner selects to register his or her motor vehicle under this Section.
        (1) If the motor vehicle to be registered is
    
required to undergo emissions inspections, the 2-year registration must coincide with the emissions inspection cycle.
        (2) An applicant for a 2-year registration
    
shall apply online or by completing and mailing the appropriate 2-year registration application form to the address indicated on the form.
        (3) The owner of a motor vehicle with a
    
2-year registration may transfer that registration to another motor vehicle with the same emissions inspection requirements, if applicable. The owner of a motor vehicle with a 2-year registration who discontinues use of the registration before the expiration of the 2-year period is not entitled to a complete or a prorated refund of the registration fee.
        (4) The fee for a 2-year registration shall
    
be twice the applicable annual registration fee for the motor vehicle being registered. If the owner of a motor vehicle issued registration under this subsection is subject to an annual surcharge under Section 3-806 or 3-815, the Secretary of State shall collect the surcharge for each registration year of the multi-year registration at the same time the Secretary of State collects the one-time registration fee.
    (b) The Secretary of State shall permit the owner of a trailer to register the trailer for a period of either one year or up to an extended 5-year registration period.
        (1) The registration shall be based on a
    
recurring 5-year registration period. The trailer owner may apply for an annual registration, registration for the full 5 years, or for the number of years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of the registration application.
        (2) An applicant for a 5-year trailer
    
registration shall apply online or by completing and mailing the appropriate 5-year registration application form to the address indicated on the form.
        (3) The owner of a trailer with a 5-year
    
registration may transfer that registration to another trailer of the same weight class. The owner of a trailer with a 5-year registration who discontinues use of the registration before the expiration of the 5-year period is not entitled to a complete or a prorated refund of the registration fee.
        (4) The fee for a 5-year registration shall
    
be the same as the applicable annual registration fee for the trailer being registered multiplied by the number of years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of the registration application.
    (c) The Secretary of State may adopt rules to implement this Section.
