    AN ACT concerning transportation.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing
Section 3-821.2 as follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/3-821.2)
    Sec. 3-821.2. Delinquent registration renewal fee.
    (a) For registration renewal periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2005, the Secretary of State may impose a delinquent
registration renewal fee of $20 for the registration renewal of
all passenger vehicles of the first division and motor vehicles
of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds if
the application for registration renewal is received by the
Secretary more than one month after the expiration of the most
recent period during which the vehicle was registered. If a
delinquent registration renewal fee is imposed, the Secretary
shall not renew the registration of such a vehicle until the
delinquent registration renewal fee has been paid, in addition
to any other registration fees owed for the vehicle. Active
duty military personnel stationed outside of Illinois shall not
be required to pay the delinquent registration renewal fee. If
a delinquent registration renewal fee is imposed, the Secretary
shall adopt rules for the implementation of this Section. All
fees collected under this Section shall be deposited into the
General Revenue Fund.
    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), the
Secretary of State shall not impose a delinquent registration
renewal fee for the registration renewal of passenger vehicles
of the first division and motor vehicles of the second division
weighing not more than 8,000 pounds if a vehicle's registration
expires during a period of time in which the Secretary is not
sending registration renewal notices to owners of all of those
vehicles with registration expiring at the same time as the
applicable vehicle. It shall be an affirmative defense to a
citation for an expired registration issued by any local,
county, municipal, or State law enforcement agency within one
month after the expiration of vehicle registration, that the
expiration occurred during a period of time in which the
Secretary was not sending registration renewal notices to
owners of all passenger vehicles of the first division and
motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more than
8,000 pounds with registration expiring at the same time as the
applicable vehicle. A computer print-out of a page from the
Secretary of State's official website setting forth the
calendar months in which registration renewal notices were not
sent to all owners of passenger vehicles of the first division
and motor vehicles of the second division weighing not more
than 8,000 pounds shall be admissible as evidence to establish
the affirmative defense. The computer print-out shall be prima
facie evidence of the correctness of the information contained
in it. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 99th
General Assembly apply only to vehicle registrations that
expire on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of
the 99th General Assembly.
    The provisions of this subsection (b), other than this
sentence, are inoperative on and after June 30, 2017.
