Summary

Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a special parking decal or device for a person with disabilities may be used by the authorized holder, rather than the special parking decal or device being the property of the person with disabilities. Removes language concerning the revocation or suspension of a person's driving privileges and revocation of disability license plates or parking decals or devices for violation of provisions concerning the unauthorized use of parking places reserved for persons with disabilities because similar language appears elsewhere in those provisions. Provides that a police officer may seize the parking decal or device from any person who commits a violation of the unauthorized use of parking places reserved for persons with disabilities provision, may request that the Secretary of State revoke the parking decal or device or the disability license plate of any person who commits a violation of that provision, and may seize the disability license plate upon authorization from the Secretary of State.
