1 AN ACT concerning the Secretary of State, amending named
2 Acts.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Identification Card Act is
6 amended by changing Sections 4 as follows:
7 (15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
8 Sec. 4. Identification Card. (a) The Secretary of State
9 shall issue a standard Illinois Identification Card to any
10 natural person who is a resident of the State of Illinois who
11 applies for such card, or renewal thereof, together with the
12 prescribed fees. The card shall be prepared and supplied by
13 the Secretary of State and shall include a photograph of the
14 applicant. The applicant, upon receipt of a card and prior
15 to its use for any purpose, shall affix his signature thereon
16 in the space provided therefor. The Illinois Identification
17 Card may be used for identification purposes in any lawful
18 situation only by the person to whom it was issued. As used
19 in this Act, "photograph" means any color photograph or
20 digitally produced and captured image of an applicant for an
21 identification card. As used in this Act, "signature" means
22 the name of a person as written by that person and captured
23 in a manner acceptable to the Secretary of State.
24 (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special
25 Illinois Identification Card, which shall be known as an
26 Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, to any natural
27 person who is a resident of the State of Illinois, who is a
28 disabled person as defined in Section 4A of this Act, who
29 applies for such card, or renewal thereof. The Secretary of
30 State shall charge no fee to issue such card. The card shall
31 be prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall
-2- LRB9001594NTsbB
1 include a photograph of the applicant, a designation
2 indicating that the card is an Illinois Disabled Person
3 Identification Card, and shall include a comprehensible
4 designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
5 disability as set out in Section 4A of this Act. If the
6 applicant so requests, the card shall include a description
7 of the applicant's disability and any information about the
8 applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
9 determines would be helpful to the applicant in securing
10 emergency medical care. The applicant, upon receipt of such
11 a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall have
12 affixed thereon in the space provided therefor his signature
13 or mark. If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
14 shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
15 who attest to the authenticity of the mark. The Illinois
16 Disabled Person Identification Card may be used for
17 identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
18 to whom it was issued.
19 The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card may be
20 used as adequate documentation of disability in lieu of a
21 physician's determination of disability or any other
22 documentation of disability whenever any State law requires
23 that a disabled person provide such documentation of
24 disability, however an Illinois Disabled Person
25 Identification Card shall not qualify the cardholder to
26 participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
27 not available to all persons with like disabilities.
28 Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an Illinois
29 Disabled Person Identification Card, or evidence that the
30 Secretary of State has issued an Illinois Disabled Person
31 Identification Card, shall not be used by any person other
32 than the person named on such card to prove that the person
33 named on such card is a disabled person or for any other
34 purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
-3- LRB9001594NTsbB
1 named on such card, and the person named on such card
2 consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
3 When medical information is contained on an Illinois
4 Disabled Person Identification Card, the Office of the
5 Secretary of State shall not be liable for any actions taken
6 based upon that medical information.
7 (c) Beginning January 1, 1986, the Secretary of State
8 shall provide that each original or renewal Illinois
9 Identification Card or Illinois Disabled Person
10 Identification Card issued to a person under the age of 21,
11 shall be of a distinct nature from those Illinois
12 Identification Cards or Illinois Disabled Person
13 Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
14 older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards
15 or Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for persons
16 under the age of 21 shall be at the discretion of the
17 Secretary of State.
18 (d) The Secretary of State may issue a Senior Citizen

22 State shall charge no fee to issue such card. The card shall
23 be issued in every county and applications shall be made
24 available at, but not limited to, nutrition sites, senior
25 citizen centers and Area Agencies on Aging. The applicant,

11 include a suitable photograph of the applicant in the form
12 prescribed by the Secretary, and he may further provide that

32 (b) The Secretary of State shall provide a format on the
33 reverse of each driver's license issued which the licensee

26 The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital,
