| (c) Every vehicle registration specified in Section 3-810 | and every

registration card and | registration plate or registration sticker, where
applicable, | issued hereunder to such vehicles shall be issued for a
fiscal | year commencing on July 1st of each registration year. However,
| the Secretary of State may, pursuant to an agreement or | arrangement or
declaration providing for apportionment of a | fleet of vehicles with
other jurisdictions, provide for | registration of such vehicles under
apportionment or for all of | the vehicles registered in Illinois by an
applicant who | registers some of his vehicles under apportionment on a
| calendar year basis instead, and the fees or taxes to be paid | on a
calendar year basis shall be identical to those specified | in this Act
for a fiscal year registration. Provision for | installment payment may
also be made.
|
| (e) Semitrailer registrations under apportionment may be | on a

| Secretary of State.
| (g) After January 1, 1975, each registration, registration | card and
registration plate or registration sticker, where | applicable, issued for
a recreational vehicle or recreational | or camping trailer, except a
house trailer, used exclusively by | the owner for recreational purposes,
and not used commercially | nor as a truck or bus, nor for hire, shall be
on a calendar year | basis; except that the Secretary of State shall
provide for | registration and the issuance of registration cards and
plates | or registration stickers, where applicable, for one 6-month
| period in order to accomplish an orderly transition from a | fiscal year
to a calendar year basis. Fees and taxes due under | this Act for a
registration year shall be appropriately reduced | for such 6-month
transitional registration period.
| (h) The Secretary of State may, in order to accomplish an | orderly
transition for vehicles registered under Section |
| 3-402.1 of this Code from
a calendar year registration to a | March 31st expiration, require applicants
to pay fees and taxes | due under this Code on a 15 month registration basis.
However, | if in the discretion of the Secretary of State this creates an
| undue hardship on any applicant the Secretary may allow the | applicant to
pay 3 month fees and taxes at the time of | registration and the additional
12 month fees and taxes to be | payable no later than March 31 of the year
after this | amendatory Act of 1991 takes effect.
| (i) The Secretary of State may stagger registrations, or | change the annual expiration date, as necessary
for the | convenience of the public and the efficiency of his Office. In
| order to appropriately and effectively accomplish any such | staggering, the
Secretary of State is authorized to prorate all | required registration fees, rounded to the nearest dollar,
but | in no event for a period longer than 18 months, at a monthly | rate for
a 12 month registration fee.
| (j) The Secretary of State may enter into an agreement with | a rental owner, as defined in Section 3-400 of this Code, who | registers a fleet of motor vehicles of the first division | pursuant to Section 3-405.3 of this Code to provide for the | registration of the rental owner's vehicles on a 2 or 3 | calendar year basis and the issuance of multi-year registration | plates with a new registration card
issued up to every 3 years. | (k) The Secretary of State may provide multi-year | registration cards for any registered fleet of motor vehicles |
| of the first or second division that are registered pursuant to | Section 3-405.3 of this Code. Each motor vehicle of the | registered fleet must carry an unique multi-year registration | card that displays the vehicle identification number of the | registered motor vehicle. The Secretary of State shall | promulgate rules in order to implement multi-year | registrations. | (l) Beginning with the 2018 registration year, the | Secretary of State may enter into an agreement with a rental | owner, as defined in Section 3-400 of this Code, who registers | a fleet of motor vehicles of the first division under Section | 3-405.3 of this Code to provide for the registration of the | rental owner's vehicle on a 5 calendar year basis. Motor | vehicles registered on a 5 calendar year basis shall be issued | a distinct registration plate that expires on a 5-year cycle. | The Secretary may prorate the registration of these | registration plates to the length of time remaining in the | 5-year cycle. The Secretary may adopt any rules necessary to | implement this subsection. | (Source: P.A. 99-80, eff. 1-1-16 .)
