additional violation and subsequent conviction of an offense |
against traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles |
or Section 6-107 or Section 12-603.1 of this Code.
|

records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may |
promulgate rules to implement this provision. |
(b) Until the Secretary of State establishes a First Person |
Consent organ and tissue donor registry under Section 6-117 of |
this Code, the Secretary of State shall provide a format on the |
reverse of
each driver's license issued which the licensee may |
use to execute a document
of gift conforming to the provisions |
of the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act.
The format shall allow the |
licensee to indicate the gift intended, whether

|
explaining this method of executing an anatomical gift document |
shall be given
to each applicant or licensee. The brochure |
shall advise the applicant or
licensee that he or she is under |

gift, and that he or she |

before doing |
so. The Secretary of State may undertake additional efforts,
|
including education and awareness activities, to promote organ |
|
and tissue
donation.

that the owner of the license carries an Emergency
Medical |
Information Card.
|
The sticker may be provided by any person, hospital, |

as the Secretary may by rule or |
regulation require.
|
(d) The Secretary of State shall designate on each driver's |
license issued

that each original |

of age shall be of a distinct nature from those driver's |
licenses
issued to individuals 21 years of age and older. The |
color designated for
driver's licenses for licensees under 21 |
years of age shall be at the
discretion of the Secretary of |
State.
|
(e-1) The Secretary shall provide that each driver's |
license issued to a
person under the age of 21 displays the |
date upon which the person becomes 18
years of age and the date |
upon which the person becomes 21 years of age.
|
|
(f) The Secretary of State shall inform all Illinois |
licensed
commercial motor vehicle operators of the |
requirements of the Uniform
Commercial Driver License Act, |
Article V of this Chapter, and shall make
provisions to insure |
that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial
driver's |
license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
|
obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
|
driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times, |
dates and
locations where these commercial driver's tests shall |
be conducted. Any
applicant, regardless of the current |
expiration date of the applicant's
driver's license, may be |
subject to any assignment by the Secretary.
Failure to comply |
with the Secretary's assignment may result in the
applicant's |
forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a commercial driver's
|
license prior to April 1, 1992.
|
(g) The Secretary of State shall designate on a
driver's |
license issued, a space where the licensee may indicate that he |
or
she has drafted a living will in accordance with the |
Illinois Living Will
Act or a durable power of attorney for |
health care in accordance with the
Illinois Power of Attorney |
Act.
|
(g-1) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may |
designate on
each driver's license issued a space where the |
licensee may place a sticker or
decal, issued by the Secretary |
of State, of uniform size as the Secretary may

shall indicate in appropriate language that the owner of the
|
