 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.   The  Illinois  Identification  Card  Act  is
 6    amended by changing Section 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
HB1169 Enrolled             -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
HB1169 Enrolled             -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
19    discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
20    State  of  Illinois  who  is 60 years of age or older and who
21    applies for such a card or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
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,
26    upon  receipt  of  such  card  and  prior  to its use for any
27    purpose, shall have affixed thereon  in  the  space  provided
28    therefor his signature or mark.

10        Sec.   6-106.  Application  for  license  or  instruction
11    permit.
12        (a)  Every  application  for  any   permit   or   license
13    authorized  to  be issued under this Act shall be made upon a
14    form furnished by the Secretary of State.  Every  application
15    shall  be  accompanied  by the proper fee and payment of such
16    fee shall entitle the applicant to not more than  3  attempts

20    security number, zip code, date of birth, sex, and  residence
21    address  of  the  applicant;  briefly describe the applicant;
22    state whether the applicant has theretofore been licensed  as
23    a  driver, and, if so, when and by what state or country, and
24    whether any such license has ever been cancelled,  suspended,
25    revoked  or refused, and, if so, the date and reason for such
26    cancellation,  suspension,  revocation  or   refusal;   shall
27    include  an affirmation by the applicant that all information

30    may  also  require  the statement of such additional relevant
31    information as the Secretary of State shall deem necessary to
32    determine the applicant's  competency  and  eligibility.  The
HB1169 Enrolled             -5-               LRB9001594NTsbB
 1    Secretary of State may in his discretion substitute a federal
 2    tax  number  in  lieu  of a social security number, or he may
 3    instead assign  an  additional  distinctive  number  in  lieu
 4    thereof,  where  an  applicant  is  prohibited  by  bona fide
 5    religious  convictions  from  applying  or  is  exempt   from
 6    applying for a social security number. The Secretary of State

12    prescribed by the Secretary, and he may further provide  that
13    each  drivers  license  shall  include  a  photograph  of the
14    driver. The Secretary  of  State  may  utilize  a  photograph
15    process  or  system  most  suitable  to  deter  alteration or
16    improper reproduction of a drivers  license  and  to  prevent
17    substitution of another photo thereon.
18        (c)  The  application  form shall include a notice to the
19    applicant of the registration obligations  of  sex  offenders
20    under the Sex Offender Registration Act.  The notice shall be
21    provided  in a form and manner prescribed by the Secretary of
22    State.  For purposes of this subsection (c),  "sex  offender"
23    has  the  meaning  ascribed  to  it  in  Section 2 of the Sex
24    Offender Registration Act.

13        (a)  The   Secretary   of  State  shall  issue  to  every
14    applicant qualifying a driver's license as applied  for,  the
15    license  shall  bear  a distinguishing number assigned to the
16    licensee, the name, social security number, zip code, date of
17    birth, address, and a brief description of the licensee,  and
18    a space where the licensee may write his usual signature.
19        If the licensee is less than 17 years of age, the license
20    shall,  as  a  matter of law, be invalid for the operation of
21    any motor vehicle during any time the licensee is  prohibited
22    from  being  on any street or highway under the provisions of
23    the Child Curfew Act.
24        Licenses issued shall also  indicate  the  classification
25    and the restrictions under Section 6-104 of this Code.
26        In  lieu of the social security number, the Secretary may

 6    witnesses.  The Secretary shall also inform each applicant or
 7    licensee of this  format,  describe  the  procedure  for  its
 8    execution,  and  may  offer the necessary witnesses; provided
 9    that in so doing, the Secretary shall advise the applicant or
10    licensee that he or she is under no compulsion to  execute  a
11    document  of  gift.  A  brochure  explaining  this  method of
12    executing an anatomical gift document shall be given to  each
13    applicant   or  licensee.   The  brochure  shall  advise  the
14    applicant or licensee that he or she is under  no  compulsion
15    to execute a document of gift, and that he or she may wish to
16    consult  with  family, friends or clergy before doing so. The
17    Secretary  of  State  may   undertake   additional   efforts,
18    including  education  and  awareness  activities,  to promote
19    organ and tissue donation.
20        (c)  The Secretary  of  State  shall  designate  on  each

24    language that the owner of the license carries  an  Emergency
25    Medical Information Card.
26        The  sticker  may  be  provided  by any person, hospital,
27    school, medical group, or association interested in assisting

 4    and older. The color designated  for  driver's  licenses  for
 5    licensees under 21 years of age shall be at the discretion of
 6    the Secretary of State.

14    to extend  driver's  license  expiration  dates,  and  assign
15    specific  times,  dates  and locations where these commercial
16    driver's tests shall be conducted.  Any applicant, regardless

30    the licensee may place a sticker  or  decal,  issued  by  the
31    Secretary  of  State,  of  uniform  size as the Secretary may
32    specify, that shall indicate in appropriate language that the
33    owner of the license has renewed his or her driver's license.
