Bill > SB2443

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to modify the provisions for driver's license expiration for members of the Armed Forces. Specifically, the bill allows the Secretary of State to defer the expiration of a driver's license for service members, their spouse, and dependent children who are living with them while serving outside of Illinois. The key change reduces the maximum deferral period from 120 days to 6 months following the service member's discharge from the Armed Forces, or within 90 days after reestablishing residence in the state, whichever comes first. This modification provides more flexibility for military personnel whose driver's licenses might expire while they are stationed away from Illinois, ensuring they do not face unnecessary bureaucratic challenges related to maintaining a valid driver's license during or immediately after their military service. The bill reflects an effort to support military service members by accommodating their unique circumstances regarding state-issued documentation.
