Bill > HB4199

This bill restores provisions related to temporary visitor's driver's licenses in Illinois, effectively reversing changes made in a previous law (Public Act 103-210). It amends multiple state acts, including the Consular Identification Document Act, the Election Code, the Illinois Identification Card Act, and the Illinois Vehicle Code. The key changes include allowing the Secretary of State to issue temporary visitor's driver's licenses to foreign nationals who reside in Illinois and are ineligible for a social security number, restoring language about non-compliant identification cards and driver's licenses, and removing previous restrictions on issuing these types of documents. The bill specifically allows for temporary visitor's driver's licenses to be issued to individuals who have resided in the state for over a year and cannot provide U.S. immigration documentation, requiring instead a valid passport or consular identification document. The temporary visitor's driver's license would be valid for three years, cannot be used as proof of identity, and is subject to the same driving regulations as standard driver's licenses. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, essentially reinstating provisions that were set to change on July 1, 2024.
