 8        Sec. 3-802. Reclassification.
 9        (a) In the event that any owner of a motor vehicle of the
10    first division desires to transfer the  registration  thereof
11    to another such motor vehicle requiring a higher registration
12    fee or tax, then such owner must pay the additional amount of
13    fees   or   taxes   due,   and   shall  in  addition,  pay  a
14    reclassification fee of $5 $3 in the event  that  new  number
15    plates  have to be issued to replace the plates for the lower
16    registration.
17        (b)  In the event that any owner  of  a  vehicle  of  the
18    second  division desires to transfer the registration thereof
19    to another such vehicle requiring a higher  registration  fee
20    or  tax,  then such owner must pay an additional amount equal
21    to the difference between those registration fees  and  taxes
22    previously  paid for the vehicle and the registration fees or
23    taxes required for the  vehicle  with  a  greater  or  higher
24    classification, and shall in addition, pay a reclassification
25    fee  of  $5 $3 in the event that new number plates have to be
26    issued to replace the plates for the lower registration.
27        (c)  In the event that any owner  of  a  vehicle  of  the
28    second  division  wishes to or is required to reclassify this
29    vehicle from a fiscal year to  a  calendar  year  basis,  the
30    owner  must also pay in addition to the reclassification fee,
31    an additional amount equal to the difference  resulting  from
SB955 Engrossed             -2-                LRB9001186NTsb
 1    the extension of the expiration date of the new calendar year
 2    registration.   In  the  event that any owner of a vehicle of
 3    the second division wishes to or is required to reclassify  a
 4    vehicle  from  a  calendar  year  to a fiscal year basis, the
 5    owner must also pay in addition to the reclassification  fee,
 6    an  additional  amount equal to the difference resulting from
 7    the extension of the expiration date of the new  fiscal  year
 8    registration.
 9        (d)  In  the  event  that  the  privileges  of  a  person
10    eligible  for  a  special  plate  as a Disabled Veteran under
11    Section 3-609 terminate during any  registration  year,  such
12    person   must  file  for  reclassification  of  such  special
13    registration and pay the higher fees or  taxes  required  for
14    such vehicles under Section 3-806 and shall pay in addition a
15    reclassification fee of $5 $3.

19    for reclassification of such registration to  a  flat  weight
20    tax  option  under Sections 3-815 or 3-818. The owner of that
21    vehicle shall however be eligible for a credit of $10 for the
22    registration  fee  specified   under   Section   3-813   when
23    reregistering such vehicle as required by law.
24        (f)  Reclassification of a registration of a vehicle from

26    registration year or period. No  refunds  may  be  made  when
27    reclassifying under any circumstances.
28        (g)  In  the  event  the owner of a vehicle of the second
29    division elects or is required  to  reclassify  such  vehicle
30    from   a   fiscal   year  registration  to  a  calendar  year
31    registration under the International Registration Plan as set
32    forth in Sec. 3-402.1 of this Act,  the  owner  shall  pay  a
33    reclassification fee of $5 $3.00 in addition to any other fee
34    or  fees  required under this Act, and said owner may thereby

 1    be entitled to a refund not  to  exceed  50%  of  the  fiscal
 2    registration  fee,  less  the  reclassification fees or taxes
 3    which  may be due the State of Illinois under  this  Act  and
 4    under the International Registration Plan.
 5        The  Secretary  of State may deny any applicant the right
 6    of reclassification under this subsection if the Secretary of
 7    State determines that  the  applicant  is  not  eligible  for
 8    registration or reclassification under said Plan.
 9        (h)  From   July  1  through  December  31  of  the  1983

13    Section  3-802,  an  amount  equal  to  50% of the difference

15    for the vehicle and the new flat weight tax  fee  into  which
16    the vehicle is being reclassified.
17        (i)  From   January   1  through  June  30  of  the  1984

20    category shall pay, in addition to any  fees  required  under
21    Section  3-802,  an  amount  equal  to  50% of the difference
22    between the most recent flat weight tax fee paid by the owner
23    for the vehicle and the new flat weight tax  fee  into  which
24    the vehicle is being reclassified.
25        (j)  In  the  event that any owner of a passenger vehicle
26    or a second division vehicle weighing 8,000  pounds  or  less
27    desires to transfer the registration thereof to the different
28    division,  then  such owner must pay the additional amount of
29    fees or taxes due, if applicable, and shall, in addition, pay
30    a reclassification fee of $5 $3 in the event that new  plates
