Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Health info and donor choices for drivers

You can choose to list your blood type and Rh factor on your license. You can add a sticker to show you carry an Emergency Medical Information Card, if it meets the Secretary of State’s rules. You can add a mark that you have a living will or a health care power of attorney. Until a donor registry exists, the back of each license has a form to donate organs or tissue, with places for your signature and two witnesses. The Secretary informs applicants and provides a brochure about donation.

Legal protection for good faith actions

If you act in good faith and follow these driver’s license rules, you are not liable for civil damages or criminal charges for that act.

Optional renewal sticker space on licenses

The Secretary of State may add a spot on licenses for a uniform renewal sticker or decal. The Secretary decides whether to issue the sticker. Using the sticker is optional for you.

Under-21 licenses show key birthdays

If you are under 21, your license looks different from adult licenses. It shows the date you turn 18 and the date you turn 21. The Secretary of State chooses the color.

Veteran and Gold Star license marks

If you were discharged under honorable conditions, you can ask to add “veteran” on your license. If you qualify for Gold Star plates and provide the required papers, you can add a Gold Star Family mark. Space for these marks appears on original and renewal licenses at your request.

Teen curfew, exceptions, and extended limits

If you are under 18, your license is not valid for driving: Friday 11:00 p.m. to Saturday 6:00 a.m.; Saturday 11:00 p.m. to Sunday 6:00 a.m.; and Sunday–Thursday 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The curfew does not apply when with a parent or guardian; on a parent‑directed errand with no detours; in interstate travel; going to or from work with no detours; in an emergency; going to or from supervised school, religious, or recreational activity with no detours; exercising First Amendment rights; or if married or emancipated. If you are 17 and have been licensed at least 12 months, you may drive during curfew when assigned as a Safe Rides driver in a program sponsored by the Boy Scouts or another national public service group, if the sponsor has liability insurance. If you were convicted of a qualifying offense within six months before turning 18, your graduated‑license curfew and limits continue after age 18. They end after six straight months with no more qualifying convictions.

Work address option and ID matching

If you already have a state ID, the Secretary may require the same name and home address on your ID, license, and permit records. DCFS staff in listed child protection and child welfare jobs, judicial officers, and peace officers may choose to show a work address instead of a home address. The Secretary sets rules for using this option.
