HB 2335 Illinois House · 104th Regular Session

VEH CD-VARIOUS

Summary
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that "expanded-use antique vehicle" does not include a commercial vehicle or a farm truck. Provides that any entity or vendor providing services to or on behalf of the Secretary of State may also prescribe or provide suitable forms for applications, certificates of title, registration cards, driver's licenses, and such other forms requisite or deemed necessary to carry out the Act to the extent authorized by the Secretary and upon approval of the Secretary. Provides that, except for specified persons, an individual's photograph or image, signature, social security number, personal email address, and medical or disability information as may be submitted to the Secretary for purposes of a vehicle title and registration application shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed. Provides that the printed proof of registration is valid for 30 days from the expiration of the previous registration sticker's or digital registration sticker's date or 30 days from the purchase date of the new registration sticker or digital registration sticker, whichever occurs later. Provides that the owner of an antique vehicle may register such vehicle for a fee not to exceed $6 per registration year (rather than $13 for a 2-year antique plate). Provides that if the Secretary determines that an owner has registered or maintained the registration of a motor vehicle without a liability insurance policy, the Secretary shall notify the owner that such owner's vehicle registration shall be suspended 30 (rather than 45) days after the date of the mailing of the notice unless the owner within 30 days furnishes proof of insurance in effect on the verification date or provides an exemption from the mandatory insurance requirements. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

MODERATE
The bill was completely rewritten to change its subject matter from vehicle registration rules to ethics and oversight for public officials. The original text regarding antique vehicles and confidentiality of driver data was removed and replaced with new provisions establishing a formal approval process for Regional Transit Board Inspector Generals and clarifying the investigative authority of the Executive Inspector General.
Scope change
The bill's scope shifted entirely from the Department of Transportation and vehicle administration to the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act and the Department of Transportation Law regarding public integrity and investigations.
SCOPE

All provisions related to the Illinois Vehicle Code, including rules for expanded-use antique vehicles, vehicle title confidentiality, and short-term permits for rebuilt vehicles, were removed.

ENFORCEMENT

New rules were added requiring Regional Transit Boards to notify the Executive Ethics Commission within 10 days when appointing an Inspector General, with a 60-day automatic approval rule if no action is taken.

The bill now clarifies that complaints against Regional Transit Boards must be immediately referred to the Executive Inspector General, who has exclusive jurisdiction to investigate violations of the Ethics Act.

REQUIREMENT

New requirements mandate that Regional Transit Boards and appointed Inspector Generals submit monthly activity reports to the Executive Inspector General detailing complaints, investigations, and results.
