Pursuant to the powers vested in the Secretary of State by
Public Acts 102-0678 and 102-1103, the Secretary hereby modifies the procedures
and requirements for the renewal of driver's licenses as set forth below. All
existing statutory and administrative rule procedures and requirements for the
renewal of driver's licenses shall remain in full force and effect except to
the extent that they conflict with the provisions of this Section.
a) Each driver whose Illinois driver's
license bears an expiration date between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022
and whose driving record contains violations that require the driver to take a
written test every other renewal may have the written test deferred for one
renewal cycle if the renewal occurs on or before December 31, 2022. This
deferral does not apply to applicants renewing a CDL.
b) The following provisions are in effect
through December 1, 2022:
1) Applicants for an
Illinois CDL who hold a valid CDL issued by another state of the same
classification and containing the same endorsements as being applied for in
Illinois, are exempted from completing the examinations required in Sections
1030.80(b) and
(c) and
1030.85(c) and
(d), unless the applicant is 75 years of age
or older, in which case the applicant must complete the examinations required
in Section
1030.85(c) and
(d). A CDL applicant who wishes to upgrade
the classification or to add an endorsement shall be required to take all
applicable written and road exams.
2) The Secretary of State shall examine every
applicant for renewal of a driver's license or permit issued under the laws of
this State or any other state if the driver's license or permit has been
expired for more than two years.
c) Each applicant aged 79 or older whose
Illinois driver's license has an expiration date of January 1, 2020 or later
and who renews a driver's license before October 1, 2023 must prove, by actual
demonstration, the applicant's ability to exercise reasonable care in the safe
operation of a motor vehicle. Every applicant for a renewal of a CDL who is 75
years of age or older must prove, by actual demonstration, the applicant's
ability to exercise reasonable care in the safe operation of a commercial motor
vehicle.
