 1        AN ACT in relation to identification.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.   The  Illinois  Identification  Card  Act  is
 5    amended by changing Sections 4 and 12 as follows:

 6        (15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
 7        Sec. 4.  Identification Card.
 8        (a)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  a  standard
 9    Illinois  Identification  Card to any natural person who is a
10    resident of the State of Illinois who applies for such  card,
11    or   renewal   thereof,  or  who  presents  for  exchange  an
12    identification card issued by the Department  of  Corrections
13    under  Section  3-14-1  of  the  Unified Code of Corrections,
14    together  with  the  prescribed  fees.   The  card  shall  be
15    prepared and supplied by the Secretary  of  State  and  shall
16    include  a  photograph of the applicant.  The applicant, upon
17    receipt of a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall
18    affix his signature thereon in the space  provided  therefor.
19    The   Illinois   Identification   Card   may   be   used  for
20    identification purposes in any lawful situation only  by  the
21    person   to  whom  it  was  issued.  As  used  in  this  Act,
22    "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally produced
23    and captured image of  an  applicant  for  an  identification
24    card.   As  used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a
25    person as written by that person and  captured  in  a  manner
26    acceptable to the Secretary of State.
27        (b)  The   Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  a  special
28    Illinois Identification Card, which  shall  be  known  as  an
29    Illinois  Disabled Person Identification Card, to any natural
30    person who is a resident of the State of Illinois, who  is  a
31    disabled  person  as  defined  in Section 4A of this Act, who
 
                            -2-                LRB9207809DJtm
 1    applies for such card, or renewal thereof.  The Secretary  of
 2    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall
 3    be prepared and supplied by the Secretary of State, and shall
 4    include   a   photograph  of  the  applicant,  a  designation
 5    indicating that the  card  is  an  Illinois  Disabled  Person
 6    Identification  Card,  and  shall  include  a  comprehensible
 7    designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
 8    disability  as  set  out  in  Section 4A of this Act.  If the
 9    applicant so requests, the card shall include  a  description
10    of  the  applicant's disability and any information about the
11    applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
12    determines would be helpful  to  the  applicant  in  securing
13    emergency  medical care.  The applicant, upon receipt of such
14    a card and prior to its  use  for  any  purpose,  shall  have
15    affixed  thereon in the space provided therefor his signature
16    or mark.  If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
17    shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
18    who attest to the authenticity of  the  mark.   The  Illinois
19    Disabled   Person   Identification   Card  may  be  used  for
20    identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
21    to whom it was issued.
22        The Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card  may  be
23    used  as  adequate  documentation  of disability in lieu of a
24    physician's  determination  of  disability   or   any   other
25    documentation  of  disability whenever any State law requires
26    that  a  disabled  person  provide  such   documentation   of
27    disability,    however    an    Illinois    Disabled   Person
28    Identification Card  shall  not  qualify  the  cardholder  to
29    participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
30    not   available   to  all  persons  with  like  disabilities.
31    Notwithstanding any other  provisions  of  law,  an  Illinois
32    Disabled  Person  Identification  Card,  or evidence that the
33    Secretary of State has issued  an  Illinois  Disabled  Person
34    Identification  Card,  shall  not be used by any person other
 
                            -3-                LRB9207809DJtm

 2    named  on  such  card  is  a disabled person or for any other
 3    purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
 4    named on such  card,  and  the  person  named  on  such  card
 5    consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
 6        When  medical  information  is  contained  on an Illinois
 7    Disabled  Person  Identification  Card,  the  Office  of  the
 8    Secretary of State shall not be liable for any actions  taken
 9    based upon that medical information.
10        (c)  Beginning  January  1,  1986, the Secretary of State
11    shall  provide  that  each  original  or   renewal   Illinois
12    Identification    Card    or    Illinois    Disabled   Person
13    Identification Card issued to a person under the age  of  21,
14    shall   be   of   a   distinct  nature  from  those  Illinois
15    Identification   Cards   or    Illinois    Disabled    Person
16    Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
17    older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards
18    or  Illinois Disabled Person Identification Cards for persons
19    under the age of  21  shall  be  at  the  discretion  of  the
20    Secretary of State.
21        (d)  The  Secretary  of  State may issue a Senior Citizen
22    discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
23    State of Illinois who is 60 years of age  or  older  and  who
24    applies for such a card or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
25    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall
26    be  issued  in  every  county  and applications shall be made
27    available at, but not limited  to,  nutrition  sites,  senior
28    citizen  centers  and Area Agencies on Aging.  The applicant,
29    upon receipt of such card  and  prior  to  its  use  for  any
30    purpose,  shall  have  affixed  thereon in the space provided
31    therefor his signature or mark.
