 1        AN ACT to amend the Illinois  Vehicle  Code  by  changing
 2    Section 3-112.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The  Illinois  Vehicle  Code  is  amended  by
 6    changing Section 3-112 as follows:
 7        (625 ILCS 5/3-112) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-112)
 8        Sec.  3-112.  Transfer.  (a)  If  an  owner transfers his
 9    interest in a vehicle,  other  than  by  the  creation  of  a
10    security interest, at the time of the delivery of the vehicle
11    he shall execute to the transferee an assignment and warranty
12    of  title  in the space provided on the certificate of title,
13    or as the  Secretary  of  State  prescribes,  and  cause  the
14    certificate  and  assignment to be mailed or delivered to the
15    transferee or to the Secretary of State.
16        If the vehicle is subject to a tax under the Mobile  Home
17    Local  Services Tax Act in a county with a population of less
18    than  3,000,000,  the  owner  shall  also  provide   to   the
19    transferee  a certification by the treasurer of the county in
20    which the vehicle is situated that all taxes imposed upon the
21    vehicle for the years the owner was the actual titleholder of
22    owed by the owner  for  the  vehicle  have  been  paid.   The
23    transferee  shall  be  liable  only  for  the taxes he or she
24    incurred while he or she was the actual  titleholder  of  the
25    mobile home.  The county treasurer shall refund any amount of
26    taxes  paid by the transferee that were imposed in years when
27    the transferee was not the actual titleholder. In  no  event,
28    however,  may the county treasurer refund amounts paid by the
29    transferee during any year except the  10  years  immediately
30    preceding   the  year  in  which  the  refund  is  made.  The
31    provisions of this amendatory Act of 1997 apply retroactively
HB1444 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9004901KDsb
 1    to January 1, 1996. If the owner is a licensed dealer who has
 2    purchased the vehicle and is holding it for resale,  in  lieu
 3    of  acquiring  a  certification  from the county treasurer he
 4    shall forward the certification received  from  the  previous
 5    owner  to  the  next  buyer  of the vehicle.  The owner shall
 6    cause the certification to be  mailed  or  delivered  to  the
 7    Secretary   of  State  with  the  certificate  of  title  and
 8    assignment.
 9        (b)  Except as provided in Section 3-113, the  transferee
10    shall,  promptly and within 5 business days after delivery to
11    him of the  vehicle  and  the  assigned  title,  execute  the
12    application  for  a  new  certificate  of  title in the space
13    provided therefor on the certificate or as the  Secretary  of
14    State  prescribes,  and cause the certificate and application
15    to be mailed or delivered to the Secretary of State.
16        (c)  Upon  request  of  the  owner   or   transferee,   a
17    lienholder  in  possession of the certificate of title shall,
18    unless the transfer was a breach of his  security  agreement,
19    either deliver the certificate to the transferee for delivery
20    to   the  Secretary  of  State  or,  upon  receipt  from  the
21    transferee  of  the  owner's  assignment,  the   transferee's
22    application  for a new certificate and the required fee, mail
23    or deliver them to the Secretary of State.  The  delivery  of
24    the  certificate does not affect the rights of the lienholder
25    under his security agreement.
26        (d)  If a security interest is reserved or created at the
27    time of the transfer,  the  certificate  of  title  shall  be
28    retained  by  or  delivered  to  the  person  who becomes the
29    lienholder, and the parties shall comply with the  provisions
30    of Section 3-203.
31        (e)  Except  as  provided in Section 3-113 and as between
32    the parties, a transfer by an owner is  not  effective  until
33    the  provisions  of  this Section and Section 3-115 have been
34    complied with; however, an owner who has delivered possession
HB1444 Engrossed            -3-                LRB9004901KDsb
 1    of the vehicle to the transferee and has  complied  with  the
 2    provisions of this Section and Section 3-115 requiring action
 3    by  him  as  not  liable  as owner for any damages thereafter
 4    resulting from operation of the vehicle.
 5        (f)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  not  process   any
 6    application for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle if any
 7    fees  or  taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the
 8    transferee have not been  paid  upon  reasonable  notice  and
 9    demand.
10        (g)  If  the  Secretary  of State receives an application
11    for transfer of a vehicle subject to a tax  under  the  Mobil
12    Home  Local Services Tax Act in a county with a population of
13    less than 3,000,000, such application must be accompanied  by
14    the  required  certification  by  the county treasurer or tax
15    assessor authorizing the issuance of the title.
16    (Source: P.A. 86-226; 86-460; 86-1028.)
17        Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect  upon
18    becoming law.
