 1    include a photograph of the applicant.  The  applicant,  upon
 2    receipt of a card and prior to its use for any purpose, shall
 3    affix  his  signature thereon in the space provided therefor.
 4    The  Illinois   Identification   Card   may   be   used   for
 5    identification  purposes  in any lawful situation only by the
 6    person  to  whom  it  was  issued.  As  used  in  this   Act,
 7    "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally produced
 8    and  captured  image  of  an  applicant for an identification
 9    card.  As used in this Act, "signature" means the name  of  a
10    person  as  written  by  that person and captured in a manner
11    acceptable to the Secretary of State.
12        (b)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  a   special
13    Illinois  Identification  Card,  which  shall  be known as an
14    Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, to any  natural
15    person  who  is a resident of the State of Illinois, who is a
16    disabled person as defined in Section 4A  of  this  Act,  who
17    applies  for such card, or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
18    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall

23    designation of the type and classification of the applicant's
24    disability as set out in Section 4A  of  this  Act.   If  the
25    applicant  so  requests, the card shall include a description
26    of the applicant's disability and any information  about  the
27    applicant's disability or medical history which the Secretary
28    determines  would  be  helpful  to  the applicant in securing
29    emergency medical care.  The applicant, upon receipt of  such
30    a  card  and  prior  to  its  use for any purpose, shall have
31    affixed thereon in the space provided therefor his  signature
32    or mark.  If a mark is used in lieu of a signature, such mark
33    shall be affixed to the card in the presence of two witnesses
34    who  attest  to  the  authenticity of the mark.  The Illinois

 2    identification purposes in any lawful situation by the person
 3    to whom it was issued.
 4        The  Illinois  Disabled Person Identification Card may be
 5    used as adequate documentation of disability  in  lieu  of  a
 6    physician's   determination   of   disability  or  any  other
 7    documentation of disability whenever any State  law  requires
 8    that   a   disabled  person  provide  such  documentation  of
 9    disability,   however    an    Illinois    Disabled    Person
10    Identification  Card  shall  not  qualify  the  cardholder to
11    participate in any program or to receive any benefit which is
12    not  available  to  all  persons  with   like   disabilities.
13    Notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of  law, an Illinois
14    Disabled Person Identification Card,  or  evidence  that  the
15    Secretary  of  State  has  issued an Illinois Disabled Person
16    Identification Card, shall not be used by  any  person  other
17    than  the  person named on such card to prove that the person
18    named on such card is a disabled  person  or  for  any  other
19    purpose unless the card is used for the benefit of the person
20    named  on  such  card,  and  the  person  named  on such card
21    consents to such use at the time the card is so used.
22        When medical information  is  contained  on  an  Illinois
23    Disabled  Person  Identification  Card,  the  Office  of  the
24    Secretary  of State shall not be liable for any actions taken
25    based upon that medical information.
26        (c)  Beginning January 1, 1986, the  Secretary  of  State
27    shall   provide   that  each  original  or  renewal  Illinois
28    Identification   Card    or    Illinois    Disabled    Person
29    Identification  Card  issued to a person under the age of 21,
30    shall  be  of  a  distinct   nature   from   those   Illinois
31    Identification    Cards    or    Illinois   Disabled   Person
32    Identification Cards issued to individuals 21 years of age or
33    older. The color designated for Illinois Identification Cards

 2    Secretary of State.
 3        (d)  The Secretary of State may issue  a  Senior  Citizen
 4    discount card, to any natural person who is a resident of the
 5    State  of  Illinois  who  is 60 years of age or older and who
 6    applies for such a card or renewal thereof.  The Secretary of
 7    State shall charge no fee to issue such card.  The card shall
 8    be issued in every county  and  applications  shall  be  made
 9    available  at,  but  not  limited to, nutrition sites, senior
10    citizen centers and Area Agencies on Aging.   The  applicant,
11    upon  receipt  of  such  card  and  prior  to its use for any
12    purpose, shall have affixed thereon  in  the  space  provided
13    therefor his signature or mark.

18        Sec. 3-14-1. Release from the Institution.
19        (a)  Upon  release  of  a  person  on  parole,  mandatory
20    release, final  discharge  or  pardon  the  Department  shall
21    return  all  property held for him, provide him with suitable
22    clothing and procure necessary transportation for him to  his
23    designated  place of residence and employment. It may provide
24    such person with a grant of money  for  travel  and  expenses
25    which  may  be  paid in installments. The amount of the money
26    grant shall be determined by the Department.
27        The Department of Corrections may establish and maintain,
28    in any institution it  administers,  revolving  funds  to  be
29    known  as  "Travel  and  Allowances  Revolving Funds".  These
30    revolving funds  shall  be  used  for  advancing  travel  and
31    expense  allowances  to  committed,  paroled,  and discharged
32    prisoners.  The moneys paid into such revolving  funds  shall
 
                            -5-            LRB9207809DJgcam01
 1    be  from  appropriations  to  the  Department  for Committed,
 2    Paroled, and Discharged Prisoners.
 3        (b)  (Blank).
 4        (c)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in  this  Code,  the
 5    Department  shall  establish  procedures  to  provide written
 6    notification of any  release  of  any  person  who  has  been
 7    convicted  of a felony to the State's Attorney and sheriff of
 8    the county from which the offender  was  committed,  and  the
 9    State's  Attorney  and  sheriff  of the county into which the
10    offender is to be paroled or released.  Except  as  otherwise
11    provided   in  this  Code,  the  Department  shall  establish
12    procedures to provide written notification to the proper  law
13    enforcement agency for any municipality of any release of any
14    person  who  has  been convicted of a felony if the arrest of
15    the offender or the commission of the offense took  place  in
16    the  municipality,  if  the  offender  is  to  be  paroled or
17    released into the municipality, or if the offender resided in
18    the municipality  at  the  time  of  the  commission  of  the
19    offense.  If  a  person  convicted  of a felony who is in the
20    custody of the Department of  Corrections  or  on  parole  or
21    mandatory  supervised  release informs the Department that he
22    or she has resided, resides, or will  reside  at  an  address
23    that  is  a  housing  facility  owned,  managed, operated, or
24    leased by a public housing agency, the Department  must  send
25    written  notification  of  that  information  to  the  public
26    housing  agency  that  owns, manages, operates, or leases the
27    housing  facility.   The  written  notification  shall,  when
28    possible, be given at least 14 days  before  release  of  the
29    person from custody, or as soon thereafter as possible.
30        (c-1)  (Blank).
31        (d)  Upon  the  release  of a committed person on parole,
32    mandatory supervised release, final discharge or pardon,  the
33    Department   shall   provide  such  person  with  information
34    concerning programs and services of the  Illinois  Department
 
                            -6-            LRB9207809DJgcam01
 1    of  Public  Health  to ascertain whether such person has been
 2    exposed to the human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  or  any
 3    identified   causative  agent  of  Acquired  Immunodeficiency
 4    Syndrome (AIDS).
 5        (e)  Upon the release of a committed  person  on  parole,
 6    mandatory supervised release, final discharge, or pardon, the
 7    Department  shall provide the person who has met the criteria
 8    established by the Department  with  an  identification  card
 9    identifying   the   person  as  being  on  parole,  mandatory
10    supervised release, final discharge, or pardon, as  the  case
11    may  be.   The Department, in consultation with the Office of
12    the Secretary of State,  shall  prescribe  the  form  of  the
13    identification  card, which may be similar to the form of the
14    standard Illinois Identification Card.  The Department  shall
15    inform  the  committed  person that he or she may present the
16    identification card to the Office of the Secretary  of  State
17    upon  application for a standard Illinois Identification Card
18    in accordance with the Illinois Identification Card Act.  The
19    Department shall require the committed person to pay a $1 fee
20    for the identification card.
21        For  purposes  of  a  committed   person   receiving   an
22    identification  card  issued  by  the  Department  under this
23    subsection, the Department shall establish criteria that  the
24    committed  person  must meet before the card is issued. It is
25    the sole responsibility of the  committed  person  requesting
26    the  identification card issued by the Department to meet the
27    established  criteria.  The  person's  failure  to  meet  the
28    criteria is sufficient reason to deny  the  committed  person
29    the  identification  card.   An identification card issued by
30    the Department under this subsection shall  be  valid  for  a
31    period  of  time not to exceed 30 calendar days from the date
32    the card is issued. The Department shall not be held  civilly
33    or  criminally  liable  to  anyone  because of any act of any
34    person utilizing a card issued by the Department  under  this
 
                            -7-            LRB9207809DJgcam01
 1    subsection.
 2        The  Department  shall adopt rules governing the issuance
 3    of identification cards to committed persons  being  released
 4    on  parole, mandatory supervised release, final discharge, or
 5    pardon.
