electronic signature, or on the grounds that it is not in its
original form or is not an original. Information in the form of an
electronic record shall be given due evidentiary weight by the trier

Sec. 3‑100.2.
Electronic access; agreements with
submitters.
(a) The Secretary of State may allow, but not require, a person to submit
any record required to be submitted to the Secretary of State by
using electronic media deemed feasible by the Secretary of State,
instead of requiring the actual submittal of the original paper
record. The Secretary of State may also allow, but not require, a
person to receive any record to be provided by the Secretary of State
by using electronic media deemed feasible by the Secretary of State,
instead of providing the original paper record.
(b) Electronic submittal, receipt, and delivery of records and electronic
signatures may be authorized or accepted by the Secretary of State,
when supported by a signed agreement between the Secretary of State
and the submitter. The agreement shall require, at a minimum, each
record to include all information necessary to complete a
transaction, certification by the submitter upon its best knowledge as to the
truthfulness of
the data to be
submitted to the Secretary of State, and retention by the submitter of
supporting records.
(c) The Secretary of State may establish minimum
transaction volume levels, audit and security
standards, technological requirements, and other terms
and conditions he or she deems necessary for approval of the
electronic delivery process.
(d) When an agreement is made to accept electronic
records, the Secretary of State shall not be required
to produce a written record for
the submitter with whom the Secretary of State has
the agreement until requested to do so by the submitter.
(e) Upon the request of a lienholder submitter, the Secretary of State shall
provide electronic notification to the
lienholder submitter to verify the notation and perfection of the lienholder's
security interest in a vehicle for which the certificate of title is an
electronic record. Upon receipt of an electronic message from a lienholder
submitter with a security interest in a vehicle for which the certificate of
title is an electronic record that the lien should be released, the Secretary
of State shall enter the appropriate electronic record of the release of lien
and print and mail a paper certificate of title to the owner or lienholder at
no expense. The Secretary of State may also mail the certificate to any other
person that delivers to the Secretary of State an authorization from the owner
to receive the certificate. If another lienholder holds a properly perfected
security interest in the vehicle as reflected in the records of the Secretary
of State, the certificate shall be delivered to that lienholder instead of the
owner.

Optional certificate of title.
The owner of an implement of husbandry or special mobile equipment may
apply for and obtain a certificate of title on it. All of the provisions of
this chapter, except part (e) of Section 3‑104, are applicable to a
certificate of title so issued, except that a person who receives a
transfer of an interest in the vehicle without knowledge of the certificate
of title is not prejudiced by reason of the existence of the certificate,
and the perfection of a security interest under this act is not effective
until the lienholder has complied with the provisions of applicable law
which otherwise relate to the perfection of security interests in personal
property.
An application for an optional certificate of title must be accompanied
by either an exemption determination from the Department of Revenue showing
that no tax imposed under the "Use Tax Act" or the "Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act" is owed by anyone with respect to that vehicle or by a receipt
from the Department of Revenue showing that any tax so imposed has been
paid. No optional certificate of title shall be issued in the absence of
such a receipt or exemption determination.
If the proof of payment or of nonliability is, after the issuance of the
optional certificate of title, found to be invalid, the Secretary of State
shall revoke the optional certificate of title and require that it be
returned to him.

Registration without certificate of title; bond.
If the Secretary of State is not satisfied as to the ownership of the
vehicle or that there are no undisclosed security interests in it, the
Secretary of State may register the vehicle but shall either:
(a) Withhold issuance of a certificate of title until the applicant
presents documents reasonably sufficient to satisfy the Secretary of
State as to the applicant's ownership of the vehicle and that there are
no undisclosed security interests in it; or
(b) As a condition of issuing a certificate of title, require the
applicant to file with the Secretary of State a bond in the form
prescribed by the Secretary of State and executed by the applicant, and
either accompanied by the deposit of cash with the Secretary of State or
also executed by a person authorized to conduct a surety business in
this State. The bond shall be in an amount equal to one and one‑half
times the value of the vehicle as determined by the Secretary of State
and conditioned to indemnify any prior owner and lienholder and any
subsequent purchaser of the vehicle or person acquiring any security
interest in it, and their respective successors in interest, against any
expense, loss or damage, including reasonable attorney's fees, by reason
of the issuance of the certificate of title of the vehicle or on account
of any defect in or undisclosed security interest upon the right, title
and interest of the applicant in and to the vehicle. Any such interested
person has a right of action to recover on the bond for any breach of
its conditions, but the aggregate liability of the surety to all persons
shall not exceed the amount of the bond. The bond, and any deposit
accompanying it, shall be returned at the end of three (3) years or
prior thereto if the vehicle is no longer registered in this State and
the currently valid certificate of title is surrendered to the Secretary
of State, unless the Secretary of State has been notified of the
pendency of an action to recover on the bond.
Security deposited as a bond hereunder shall be placed by the
Secretary of State in the custody of the State Treasurer.
(c) During July, annually, the Secretary shall compile a list of all bonds
on deposit, pursuant to this Section, for more than 3 years and concerning
which he has received no notice as to the pendency of any judicial proceeding
that could affect the disposition thereof. Thereupon, he shall promptly
send a notice by certified mail to the last known address of each depositor
advising him that his bond will be subject to escheat to the State of Illinois
if not claimed within 30 days after the mailing date of such notice. At
the expiration of such time, the Secretary of State shall file with the
State Treasurer an order directing the transfer of such deposit to the Road
Fund in the State Treasury. Upon receipt of such order, the State Treasurer
shall make such transfer, after converting to cash any other type of security.
Thereafter any person having a legal claim against such deposit may enforce
it by appropriate proceedings in the Court of Claims subject to the limitations
prescribed for such Court. At the expiration of such limitation period
such deposit shall escheat to the State of Illinois.

Transfer.
(a) If an owner transfers his interest in a vehicle, other than by the
creation of a security interest, at the time of the delivery of the vehicle he
shall execute to the transferee an assignment and warranty of title in the
space provided on the certificate of title, or as the Secretary of State
prescribes, and cause the certificate and assignment to be mailed or
delivered to the transferee or to the Secretary of State.
If the vehicle is subject to a tax under the Mobile Home Local Services
Tax Act in a county with a population of less than 3,000,000, the owner
shall also provide to the transferee a certification by the treasurer of
the county in which the vehicle is situated that all taxes imposed upon the
vehicle for the years the owner was the actual titleholder of the vehicle have
been paid. The transferee shall be liable only for the taxes he or she
incurred while he or she was the actual titleholder of the mobile home. The
county treasurer shall refund any amount of taxes paid by the transferee that
were imposed in years when the transferee was not the actual titleholder. The
provisions of this amendatory Act of 1997 (P.A. 90‑542) apply retroactively
to January 1, 1996. In no event may the county treasurer refund amounts paid
by the transferee during any year except the 10 years immediately preceding the
year in which the refund is made. If the owner is a licensed dealer who has
purchased the vehicle and is holding it for resale, in lieu of acquiring a
certification from the county treasurer he shall forward the certification
received from the previous owner to the next buyer of the vehicle. The owner
shall cause the certification to be mailed or delivered to the Secretary of
State with the certificate of title and assignment.
(b) Except as provided in Section 3‑113, the transferee shall, promptly
and within 20 days after delivery to him of the vehicle and the
assigned title, execute the application for a new certificate of title in
the space provided therefor on the certificate or as the Secretary of State
prescribes, and cause the certificate and application to be mailed or
delivered to the Secretary of State.
(c) Upon request of the owner or transferee, a lienholder in possession
of the certificate of title shall, unless the transfer was a breach of his
security agreement, either deliver the certificate to the transferee for
delivery to the Secretary of State or, upon receipt from the transferee of
the owner's assignment, the transferee's application for a new certificate
and the required fee, mail or deliver them to the Secretary of State. The
delivery of the certificate does not affect the rights of the lienholder
under his security agreement.
(d) If a security interest is reserved or created at the time of the
transfer, the certificate of title shall be retained by or delivered to the
person who becomes the lienholder, and the parties shall comply with the
provisions of Section 3‑203.
(e) Except as provided in Section 3‑113 and as between the parties, a
transfer by an owner is not effective until the provisions of this Section
and Section 3‑115 have been complied with; however, an owner who has
delivered possession of the vehicle to the transferee and has complied with
the provisions of this Section and Section 3‑115 requiring action by him as
not liable as owner for any damages thereafter resulting from operation of
the vehicle.
(f) The Secretary of State shall not process any application for a
transfer of an interest in a vehicle if any fees or taxes due under this
Act from the transferor or the transferee have not been paid upon
reasonable notice and demand.
(g) If the Secretary of State receives an application for transfer of
a vehicle subject to a tax under the Mobile Home Local Services
Tax Act in
a county with a population of less than 3,000,000, such application must
be accompanied by the required certification by the county treasurer
or tax assessor authorizing the issuance of the title.

vehicle must supply on the title form the following information:
(1) The odometer reading at the time of transfer and | ||
|
||
(2) The date of transfer;
(3) The transferor's printed name and signature; and
(4) The transferee's printed name and address.
(c) The transferee must sign on the title form indicating that he or

such vehicle with an intent to defraud. A cause of action is hereby created by
which any person who, with intent to defraud, violates any requirement imposed
under this Section shall be liable in an amount equal to the sum of:

has repossessed a vehicle by
judicial
process and holds it for resale under a security agreement, order for replevin,
or other court order establishing the lienholder's right to possession of the
vehicle, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle
as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code or the court order. Upon
selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the
certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and within
20 days mail or
deliver to the purchaser as transferee (i) the existing certificate of title
for the repossessed vehicle reflecting the release of the lienholder's security
interest in the vehicle; (ii) a certified copy of the court order; and (iii) a
bill of sale identifying the new owner's name and address and the year, make,
model, and vehicle identification number of the vehicle.
The application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall comply
with subsection (a) of Section 3‑104 and be accompanied by the certified copy
of the court order furnished by the
lienholder and the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle.
The lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing the
name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor on the
certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes. The lienholder
shall complete the assignment of title in the certificate of title to reflect
the transfer of the vehicle to the lienholder and also a reassignment to
reflect the transfer from the lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose,
the lienholder is specifically authorized to execute the assignment on behalf
of the owner as seller if the owner has not done so and to complete and execute
the space reserved in the certificate of title for a dealer reassignment,
notwithstanding that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein
shall be construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the
repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer occupation, vehicle
use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the repossession sale.
Delivery of the existing certificate of title to the purchaser shall be deemed
disclosure to the purchaser of the owner of the vehicle.
In the event the
lienholder does not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle,
the lienholder shall
make application for and may obtain a new certificate of title in the name of
the lienholder upon furnishing information satisfactory to the Secretary of
State. Upon receiving the new certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed
with the sale described in this subsection, except that upon selling the
vehicle the lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the
purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting the assignment and transfer
of title to the purchaser.
(f‑15) The Secretary of State shall not issue a certificate of title to a
purchaser under subsection (f), (f‑5), or (f‑10) of this Section, unless the
person from whom the vehicle has been repossessed by the lienholder is shown to
be the last registered owner of the motor vehicle. The Secretary of State may
provide by rule for the standards to be followed by a lienholder in assigning
and transferring certificates of title with respect to repossessed vehicles.
(f‑20) If applying for a salvage certificate or a junking certificate, the lienholder
shall within 20 days make an application to the Secretary of State for a salvage certificate or a junking certificate, as
set forth in this Code. The Secretary of State shall
not issue a salvage
certificate or a junking
certificate to such lienholder unless the person from whom such vehicle has
been repossessed is shown to be the last registered owner of such motor
vehicle and such lienholder establishes to the satisfaction of
the Secretary of State that he is entitled to such
salvage certificate or junking certificate. The Secretary
of State may provide by rule for the standards to be followed by
a lienholder in order to obtain a
salvage certificate or junking certificate for a
repossessed vehicle.
(f‑25) If the interest of an owner in a mobile home, as defined in the
Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act, passes to another under the provisions of
the
Mobile Home Local Services Tax Enforcement Act, the transferee shall promptly
mail or deliver to the Secretary of State (i) the last certificate of title, if
available, (ii) a certified copy of the court order ordering the transfer of
title, and (iii) an application for certificate of title.
(f‑30) Bankruptcy. If the repossessed vehicle is the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or discharge:

(3) the requirement to delay disposition of the | ||

(g) A person holding a certificate of title whose interest in the
vehicle has been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary
transfer shall mail or deliver the certificate, within 20 days
upon request of the Secretary of State. The delivery of the certificate
pursuant to the request of the Secretary of State does not affect the
rights of the person surrendering the certificate, and the action of the
Secretary of State in issuing a new certificate of title as provided
herein is not conclusive upon the rights of an owner or lienholder named
in the old certificate.
(h) The Secretary of State may decline to process any application
for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle hereunder if any fees or
taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the transferee have not
been paid upon reasonable notice and demand.
(i) The Secretary of State shall not be held civilly or criminally
liable to any person because any purported transferor may not have had
the power or authority to make a transfer of any interest in any vehicle
or because a certificate of title issued in error is subsequently used to
commit a fraudulent act.

Sec. 3‑400.
Definition.
Notwithstanding the definition set forth in
Chapter 1 of this Act, for the purposes of this Article, the following
words shall have the meaning ascribed to them as follows:
"Apportionable Fee" means any periodic recurring fee required for
licensing or registering vehicles, such as, but not limited to,
registration fees, license or weight fees.
"Apportionable Vehicle" means any vehicle, except recreational
vehicles, vehicles displaying restricted plates, city pickup and delivery
vehicles, buses used in transportation of chartered parties, and government
owned vehicles that are used or intended for use in 2 or more member
jurisdictions that allocate or proportionally register vehicles, in a
fleet which is used for the transportation of persons for hire or the
transportation of property and which has a gross vehicle weight in excess of
26,000 pounds; or has three or more axles regardless of weight; or is used in
combination when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds gross
vehicle weight. Vehicles, or combinations having a gross vehicle weight of
26,000 pounds or less and two‑axle vehicles may be proportionally registered at
the option of such owner.
"Base Jurisdiction" means, for purposes of fleet registration, the
jurisdiction where the registrant has an established place of business,
where operational records of the fleet are maintained and where mileage
is accrued by the fleet. In case a registrant operates more than one
fleet, and maintains records for each fleet in different places, the
"base jurisdiction" for a fleet shall be the jurisdiction where an
established place of business is maintained, where records of the
operation of that fleet are maintained and where mileage is accrued by
that fleet.
"Operational Records" means documents supporting miles traveled in
each jurisdiction and total miles traveled, such as fuel reports, trip
leases, and logs.
Owner. A person who holds legal title of a motor vehicle, or in the
event a motor vehicle is the subject of an agreement for the conditional
sale or lease thereof with the right of purchase upon performance of the
conditions stated in the agreement and with an immediate right of
possession vested in the conditional vendee or lessee with right of
purchase, or in the event a mortgagor of such motor vehicle is entitled
to possession, or in the event a lessee of such motor vehicle is
entitled to possession or control, then such conditional vendee or
lessee with right of purchase or mortgagor or lessee is considered to be
the owner for the purpose of this Act.
"Rental Owner" means an owner principally engaged, with respect to
one or more rental fleets, in renting to others or offering for rental
the vehicles of such fleets, without drivers.
"Restricted Plates" shall include but are not limited to dealer,
manufacturer, transporter, farm, repossessor, and permanently mounted type
plates. Vehicles displaying any of these type plates from a foreign
jurisdiction that is a member of the International Registration Plan shall be
granted reciprocity but shall be subject to the same limitations as similar
plated Illinois registered vehicles.

(625 ILCS 5/3‑402.1) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3‑402.1)
Sec. 3‑402.1.
Proportional Registration.
Any owner
or rental owner engaged in operating a fleet of apportionable
vehicles in this state and one or more other states may, in
lieu of registration of such vehicles under the general
provisions of sections 3‑402, 3‑815, 3‑815.1, and 3‑819, register
and license such fleet for operations in this state by
filing an application statement, signed under penalties
of perjury, with the Secretary of State which shall be in
such form and contain such information as the Secretary of
State shall require, declaring the total mileage operated
in all states by such fleet, the total mileage operated
in this state by such fleet during the preceding year,
and describing and identifying each apportionable vehicle
to be operated in this state during the ensuing year. If
mileage data is not available for the preceding year, the
Secretary of State may accept the latest 12‑month period
available.
"Preceding year" means the period of 12 consecutive months immediately prior
to July 1st of the year immediately preceding the registration or license year
for which proportional registration is sought.
Such owner shall determine the proportion of in‑state
miles to total fleet miles. Such percentage figure shall
be such owner's apportionment factor. In determining the
total fee payment, such owner shall first compute the license
fee or fees for each vehicle within the fleet which would otherwise be
required,
and then multiply the said amount by the Illinois apportionment
factor adding the fees for each vehicle to arrive at a total amount for
the fleet. Apportionable trailers and semitrailers will be registered in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3‑813 of this Code.
Upon receipt of the appropriate fees from such owner
as computed under the provisions of this section, the Secretary
of State shall, when this state is the base jurisdiction,
issue to such owner number plates or other distinctive tags
or such evidence of registration as the Secretary of State
shall deem appropriate to identify each vehicle in the fleet
as a part of a proportionally registered interstate fleet.
Vehicles registered under the provision of this section
shall be considered fully licensed and properly registered in
Illinois for any type of movement or operation. The proportional
registration and licensing provisions of this section shall apply
to vehicles added to fleets and operated in this state during
the registration year, applying the same apportionment factor
to such fees as would be payable for the remainder of the
registration year.
Apportionment factors for apportionable vehicles not
operated in this state during the preceding year shall be
determined by the Secretary of State on the basis of
a full statement of the proposed methods of operation and in conformity
with an estimated mileage chart as calculated by the Secretary of State.
An established fleet adding states at the time of renewal shall estimate
mileage for the added states in conformity with a mileage chart developed
by the Secretary of State.

Audits.
In addition to audit authority
set forth in Section 2‑124 of this Act, the Secretary of
State, when this state is the base jurisdiction, may audit
such owners displaying a base plate of this state as to
authenticity of mileage figures and registrations and at
such time and frequency as determined by the Secretary of
State. Audits may be made by officials of other jurisdictions
which are members of an International Registration Plan (IRP) of which
this state is also a member.
Upon completion of any such audit, the Secretary of
State shall notify all jurisdictions in which such owner
was proportionally registered on the accuracy of the records
of such owner. Should such owner have underpaid or overpaid
any jurisdiction
in which his vehicles were proportionally registered,
such information shall be furnished to the jurisdiction for
processing in accordance with the procedures as set forth under the
International Registration Plan.

The Secretary of
State may enter into agreements, compacts, or arrangements with other
jurisdictions or agents for such jurisdictions, such as the American
Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, on behalf of this state for
allocation or proportional registration of apportionable vehicles in a
manner provided in Section 3‑402.1 for the purpose of facilitating the
administration thereof, and also for the purpose of conforming procedures
for proportional registration, pursuant to Sections 3‑402.1 and 3‑402.2,
with those agreed to by two or more additional jurisdictions, including but
not limited to, acceptance of base jurisdiction responsibilities for
apportional registration and licensing of fleet vehicles in other
jurisdiction. In addition, the Secretary of State may adopt and promulgate
such rules and regulations as he shall deem necessary to effectuate and
administer the provisions of Sections 3‑402.1 and 3‑402.2. Any reciprocal
arrangements or agreements in effect with jurisdictions that cannot grant
proportional registration shall remain in force until specifically
cancelled by either jurisdiction or until such time that jurisdiction
becomes a member of an International Registration Plan (IRP) of which this
state is also a member.

purchase of each permit shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund.
This permit may also be issued to operate an unladen registered vehicle
which is suspended under the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law and allow it
to be driven on the roads and highways of the State in order to be repaired
or when travelling to and from an emissions inspection station.
(b) The Secretary of State may, subject to reciprocal agreements,
arrangements or declarations made or entered into pursuant to Section
3‑402, 3‑402.4 or by rule, provide for and issue registration permits for
the use of Illinois highways by vehicles of the second division on an
occasional basis or for a specific and special short‑term use, in
compliance with rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary of
State, and upon payment of the prescribed fee as follows:
One‑trip permits. A registration permit for one trip, or one round‑trip
into and out of Illinois, for a period not to exceed 72 consecutive hours
or 3 calendar days may be provided, for a fee as prescribed in Section 3‑811.

a fee of $13 for registration plus 1/10 of the flat weight tax.
The minimum fee for such permit shall be $31.

for vehicles in transit by the driveaway or towaway method and operated
by a transporter in compliance with the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property
Law, for a fee as prescribed in Section 3‑811.

authorization permit for forty‑five days for the immediate operation of
a vehicle upon application for and prior to receiving apportioned credentials
or interstate credentials from the State of Illinois. The fee for
such permit shall be $3.
Illinois Temporary Prorate Authorization Permit. A prorate authorization
permit for forty‑five days for the immediate operation of a vehicle upon
application for and prior to receiving prorate credentials or interstate
credentials from the State of Illinois. The fee for such permit shall be
$3.
(c) The Secretary of State shall promulgate by such rule or regulation,
schedules of fees and taxes for such permits and in computing the amount
or amounts due, may round off such amount to the nearest full dollar amount.
(d) The Secretary of State shall further prescribe the form of application
and permit and may require such information and data as necessary and proper,
including confirming the status or identity of the applicant and the vehicle
in question.
(e) Rules or regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State under this
Section shall provide for reasonable and proper limitations and restrictions
governing the application for and issuance and use of permits, and shall
provide for the number of permits per vehicle or per applicant, so as to
preclude evasion of annual registration requirements as may be required by
this Act.
(f) Any permit under this Section is subject to suspension or revocation
under this Act, and in addition, any such permit is subject to suspension
or revocation should the Secretary of State determine that the vehicle
identified in any permit should be properly registered in Illinois. In the
event any such permit is suspended or revoked, the permit is then null and
void, may not be re‑instated, nor is a refund therefor available. The
vehicle identified in such permit may not thereafter be operated in
Illinois without being properly registered as provided in this Chapter.

Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and

upon such owner's paying to the State of Illinois all monies becoming
due by reason of his operation of the second division motor vehicle in
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
The State Treasurer shall issue a certificate of deposit to any such
owner who deposits with the State Treasurer securities of the Federal

transact business in this State, as surety, and shall be conditioned
upon such owner's paying to the State of Illinois all monies becoming
due by reason of his operation of the second division motor vehicle in

notice from the Secretary of State that the second installment has not
been paid on January 1st of any registration year the surety shall
immediately pay the second installment to the Secretary of State.
Upon notice by the Secretary of State that the second installment of
such owner's taxes has not been paid on January 1st of any registration
year, the State Treasurer shall sell such securities and deliver the
proceeds thereof to the Secretary of State to satisfy all monies
becoming due by reason of such owner's operation of a second division
motor vehicle in this State, together with all penalties and interest
thereon.
If the owner's liability for the second installment is evidenced by a

been paid, the State Treasurer shall return such certificate of deposit
or securities deposited with him under this Section to the owner
thereof.

registered in accordance with Section 3‑402.1 may be paid, if the owner
elects, in equal semi‑annual installments due on April 1 and October 1 of
each licensing year.

this Section, the surety shall have recourse only against the principal
and owner of the vehicles involved and shall have no right or privilege
to demand revocation or suspension of the registration plates
or registration stickers of the vehicles involved. Such surety may, however,

Lien for violations.
Any vehicle used in violation of the provision of this Act shall be
subject to a lien for the full amount of all unpaid registration fees, flat
weight taxes, and penalties. Such lien shall not release the offender from
the full payment of all such fees, taxes, penalties and damages. The lien
shall attach at the time of operation of any such vehicle within this State
and shall remain effective until all unpaid registration fees, flat weight
taxes, penalties and audit fees are paid, or until the vehicle is sold for
the payment thereof. Such liens shall be superior to any other lien except
that:
(a) no lien for any amounts due or assessed pursuant to this Section
shall be enforceable against any vehicle which prior to such assessment had
been transferred in good faith to a bona fide transferee for value;
(b) the lien of any amounts due or assessed shall be subject to a prior
lien of any indebtedness existing against such vehicle which is noted on
the certificate of title of such vehicle issued under this Act, or as to a
vehicle from another jurisdiction, if written notice thereof is filed with
the Secretary of State before such lien becomes operative and if
(1) Such prior indebtedness was incurred in good faith to secure all or
a portion of the purchase price of such vehicle, and
(2) Such prior indebtedness is secured by a chattel mortgage or
conditional sales agreement duly filed or perfected in this State pursuant
to law and such chattel mortgage or conditional sales was not given
directly or indirectly, to any officer, director or shareholder of a
corporation, or to a partner of a partnership, or to a trustee or
beneficiary of a trust, owning or having the lawful use or control of such
vehicle, whether as a purchase money mortgage or otherwise.
The lien imposed under this Section shall be enforceable as to any
equity after the encumbrance of any such chattel mortgage or conditional
sales contract, and in the event any such vehicle subject to a lien
hereunder is repossessed by a chattel mortgagee or a conditional vendor,
such vehicle shall not be sold at any public or private sale unless at
least 5 days written notice by registered mail is served upon the Secretary
of State.
The Secretary of State, upon perfecting a prior lien hereunder for any
flat weight taxes required to be paid under Section 3‑815 may in his
discretion waive the requirement for the surety bond specified in Section
3‑816, providing that the said prior lien is so noted on the certificate of
title for such vehicle or vehicles.
Any surety making payment of a second installment of taxes under Section
3‑816 of this Act, may impress a lien similar to that of the Secretary of
State, and such lien may be noted on title records and documents. The
surety shall, however, pay any statutory fees therefor.

Bond; fee; duration of license.
Such applicant shall,
with
his application, deposit with the Secretary of State a bond as hereinafter
provided, for each location at which the applicant intends to act as a
remittance agent. The application shall be accompanied by the payment of a
license fee in the sum of $50.00 (or $25.00 if such application is filed
after July 1) for each location at which he proposes to act as a remittance
agent. If the applicant shall have complied with all of the requirements of
this Section and the Secretary of State shall find after investigation that
the applicant is financially sound and of good business integrity, he shall
issue the required license. Such license shall terminate on December 31 of
the year for which it is issued, but upon application prior to November 15
of any year for which a license is in effect may be renewed for the next
succeeding calendar year. Such application shall be accompanied by the
payment of an annual license fee of $50.00 for each location at which the
applicant proposes to act as a remittance agent and the posting of the bond
herein provided, for each such location.
The bond required by this Section shall be for the term of the
license, or renewal thereof, for which application is made, and shall
run to the People of the State of Illinois, with surety by a bonding or
insurance company authorized to do business in this State, to be
approved by the Secretary of State. It shall be conditioned upon the
proper transmittal of all remittances by the applicant as a
remittance agent and the performance of all undertakings in connection
therewith. It shall be in the minimum sum of $10,000, or in an amount
equal to the aggregate sum of money transmitted to the State by
the applicant during the highest 15 day period in the fiscal
year
immediately preceding the one for which application is made (rounded to
the nearest $1,000), whichever is the greater. However, for the purpose
of determining the bond requirements hereunder, remittances made by
applicants in the form of money orders or checks which are made payable
directly to the Secretary of State or the Illinois Department of
Revenue by the remitter, shall not be
considered in the aggregate. The bond requirement of this
Section shall not
apply to banks, savings and loan associations, and credit
unions chartered by the State
of Illinois or the United States; provided that the banks, savings
and
loan associations, and credit unions provide to the
Secretary of State an affidavit stating that
the bank, savings and loan association, or credit union is
sufficiently bonded to meet the
requirements as required above. Such affidavit shall be signed by an officer
of the bank, savings and loan association, or credit union and
shall be notarized.
