1 AN ACT in relation to vehicles.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5 changing Section 3-405 and 3-415 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/3-405) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-405)
7 Sec. 3-405. Application for registration.
8 (a) Every owner of a vehicle subject to registration
9 under this Code shall make application to the Secretary of
10 State for the registration of such vehicle upon the
11 appropriate form or forms furnished by the Secretary. Every
12 such application shall bear the signature of the owner
13 written with pen and ink and contain:
14 1. The name, bona fide residence (except as
15 otherwise provided in this paragraph 1) and mail address
16 of the owner or business address of the owner if a firm,
17 association or corporation. If the mailing address is a
18 post office box number, the address listed on the driver
19 license record may be used to verify residence. A police
20 officer, a deputy sheriff, an elected sheriff, a law
21 enforcement officer for the Department of State Police,
22 or a fire investigator may elect to furnish the address
23 of the headquarters of the governmental entity or police
24 district where he or she works instead of his or her
25 residence address, in which case that address shall be
26 deemed to be his or her residence address for all
27 purposes under this Chapter 3. The spouse and children
28 of a person who may elect under this paragraph 1 to
29 furnish the address of the headquarters of the government
30 entity or police district where the person works instead
31 of the person's residence address may, if they reside
-2- LRB9215472DHmg
1 with that person, also elect to furnish the address of
2 the headquarters of the government entity or police
3 district where the person works as their residence
4 address, in which case that address shall be deemed to be
5 their residence address for all purposes under this
6 Chapter 3. In this paragraph 1: (A) "police officer" has
7 the meaning ascribed to "policeman" in Section 10-3-1 of
8 the Illinois Municipal Code; (B) "deputy sheriff" means a
9 deputy sheriff appointed under Section 3-6008 of the
10 Counties Code; (C) "elected sheriff" means a sheriff
11 commissioned pursuant to Section 3-6001 of the Counties
12 Code; and (D) "fire investigator" means a person
13 classified as a peace officer under the Peace Officer
14 Fire Investigation Act.
15 2. A description of the vehicle, including such
16 information as is required in an application for a
17 certificate of title, determined under such standard
18 rating as may be prescribed by the Secretary.
19 3. Information, as may be required by the
20 Secretary, relating to the insurance policy for a motor
21 vehicle, including, but not limited to, the name of the
22 insurer which issued the policy.
23 4. Such further information as may reasonably be
24 required by the Secretary to enable him to determine
25 whether the vehicle is lawfully entitled to registration
26 and the owner entitled to a certificate of title.
27 5. An affirmation by the applicant that all
28 information set forth is true and correct. If the
29 application is for the registration of a motor vehicle,
30 the applicant also shall affirm that the motor vehicle is
31 insured as required by this Code, that such insurance
32 will be maintained throughout the period for which the
33 motor vehicle shall be registered, and that neither the
34 owner, nor any person operating the motor vehicle with
-3- LRB9215472DHmg
1 the owner's permission, shall operate the motor vehicle
2 unless the required insurance is in effect. If the
3 person signing the affirmation is not the sole owner of
4 the vehicle, such person shall be deemed to have affirmed
5 on behalf of all the owners of the vehicle. If the
6 person signing the affirmation is not an owner of the
7 vehicle, such person shall be deemed to have affirmed on
8 behalf of the owner or owners of the vehicle. The lack of
9 signature on the application shall not in any manner
10 exempt the owner or owners from any provisions,
11 requirements or penalties of this Code.
12 (b) When such application refers to a new vehicle
13 purchased from a dealer the application shall be accompanied
14 by a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin from the dealer, and
15 a statement showing any lien retained by the dealer.
16 (c) The application must be accompanied by a certificate
17 of insurance, acceptable under Section 7-315 of this Code,
18 indicating that the vehicle is covered by liability insurance
19 for at least the first 6 months after the date of
20 registration.
