hereinafter provided, in the amount of the sum of the second installment
of taxes on his vehicle.
Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and

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
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

a second division motor vehicle in this State, and return the excess, if any,
to the owner on whose behalf the certificate of deposit was previously
deposited.
The State Treasurer shall return securities or proceeds in excess of
that needed to satisfy the Secretary of State for all monies becoming

installments shall file with the Secretary of State a surety bond or
certificate of deposit, as hereinafter provided, in the amount of the sum of
the second installment of taxes on his vehicle.
Such bond shall be in the form approved by the Secretary of State and
with a surety company approved by the Department of Insurance to
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
this State, together with all penalties and interest thereon.
The liability of the surety hereunder shall be absolute and upon
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
certificate of deposit payable to the Secretary of State, the Secretary
of State shall, upon failure of the owner to pay the second installment
by January 1st, endorse the certificate of deposit which is in the
custody of the State Treasurer, and thereafter the State Treasurer shall

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.
