HB 4269

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that no identification card, Disabled Person Identification Card, or driver's license shall be issued to any person who holds a valid foreign state identification card, license, or permit unless the person first surrenders to the Secretary of State the valid foreign state identification card, license, or permit. Changes references to "name" and "address" to references to "legal name" and "residence address". Authorizes the Secretary of State to deny an application for an identification card or driver's permit and refuse to issue, renew, or allow the retention of any driver's license if he or she cannot verify the accuracy of information or documentation submitted by the applicant and to cancel or revoke an identification card issued if the holder fails to appear for the reissuance of a card issued in error. Requires any person whose legal name has changed to apply for a corrected identification card, driver's license or permit, or Commercial Driver's License within 30 days after the change. Provides that a person who has changed his or her residence address must notify the Secretary of State of the change in writing within 10 days after the change before he or she may obtain a corrected identification card. Provides that it is a violation of the Acts to possess, use, or allow to be used any materials, hardware, or software specifically designed for or primarily used in the manufacture, assembly, issuance, or authentication of an official Illinois Identification Card, Illinois Disabled Person Identification Card, driver's license, or permit issued by the Secretary of State. Sets forth restrictions on the release of personal information by the Secretary of State. Makes other changes. Effective January 1, 2005.
