31        (d)  In  the  event  that  the  privileges  of  a  person
32    eligible for a special plate  as  a  Disabled  Veteran  under
33    Section  3-609  terminate  during any registration year, such
34    person  must  file  for  reclassification  of  such   special
SB955 Enrolled             -11-                LRB9001186NTsb

 2    such vehicles under Section 3-806 and shall pay in addition a
 3    reclassification fee of $3.
 4        (e)  In the event that  the  registration  of  a  vehicle
 5    under  the  mileage weight tax option as specified in Section
 6    3-818 has been revoked, such vehicle shall  not  be  eligible
 7    for  reclassification  of  such registration to a flat weight
 8    tax option under Sections 3-815 or 3-818. The owner  of  that
 9    vehicle shall however be eligible for a credit of $10 for the
10    registration   fee   specified   under   Section  3-813  when
11    reregistering such vehicle as required by law.
12        (f)  Reclassification of a registration of a vehicle from
13    one class to  another  may  be  made  only  once  within  any
14    registration  year  or  period.  No  refunds may be made when
15    reclassifying under any circumstances.
16        (g)  In the event the owner of a vehicle  of  the  second

19    registration under the International Registration Plan as set
20    forth  in  Sec.  3-402.1  of  this Act, the owner shall pay a
21    reclassification fee of $3.00 in addition to any other fee or
22    fees required under this Act, and said owner may  thereby  be
23    entitled  to  a  refund  not  to  exceed  50%  of  the fiscal
24    registration fee, less the  reclassification  fees  or  taxes
25    which   may  be  due the State of Illinois under this Act and
26    under the International Registration Plan.
27        The Secretary of State may deny any applicant  the  right
28    of reclassification under this subsection if the Secretary of
29    State  determines  that  the  applicant  is  not eligible for
30    registration or reclassification under said Plan.
31        (h)  From  July  1  through  December  31  of  the   1983
32    registration  year,  an  owner  registering a second division
33    vehicle on a calendar year basis into the "X",  "Z"  or  "TN"
34    category  shall  pay,  in addition to any fees required under
SB955 Enrolled             -12-                LRB9001186NTsb
 1    Section 3-802, an amount  equal  to  50%  of  the  difference
 2    between the most recent flat weight tax fee paid by the owner
 3    for  the  vehicle  and the new flat weight tax fee into which
 4    the vehicle is being reclassified.
 5        (i)  From  January  1  through  June  30  of   the   1984
 6    registration  year,  an  owner  registering a second division
 7    vehicle on a fiscal year basis into  the  "X",  "Z"  or  "TN"
 8    category  shall  pay,  in addition to any fees required under
 9    Section 3-802, an amount  equal  to  50%  of  the  difference
10    between the most recent flat weight tax fee paid by the owner
11    for  the  vehicle  and the new flat weight tax fee into which
12    the vehicle is being reclassified.
13        (j)  In the event that any owner of a  passenger  vehicle
14    or  a  second  division vehicle weighing 8,000 pounds or less
15    desires to transfer the registration thereof to the different
16    division, then such owner must pay the additional  amount  of
17    fees or taxes due, if applicable, and shall, in addition, pay
18    a  reclassification  fee  of  $3 in the event that new plates
19    have to be issued to replace the old plates.
