SB 1958

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Changes the definitions of "custom vehicle" and "street rod" in the Illinois Vehicle Code to exclude certain vehicles that have been certified by an inspector of the National Street Rod Association. Provides that upon initial application for title and registration as a custom vehicle or street rod, the owner must have the vehicle inspected by the Secretary of State Department of Police rather than providing proof acceptable to the Secretary of State that, no more than 3 months before the date of the application for registration, the custom vehicle passed a safety inspection that (i) has been approved by the Secretary and (ii) is equivalent to the National Street Rod Association's prescribed vehicle safety inspection. Provides title and registration content requirements for a custom vehicle or street rod. Provides that a vehicle previously titled as other than a custom vehicle or street rod may be issued a corrected title reflecting the custom vehicle or street rod model if it otherwise meets the requirements for the designation. Effective January 1, 2010.
