8

outbound trailer or semitrailer. Adding or unloading
9

intrastate cargo on such inbound or outbound trailer or
10

semitrailer shall be deemed as breaking bulk.
11

(e) Such agreements or arrangements may also provide
12

for the determination of the proper State in which leased
13

vehicles shall be registered based on the factors set out
14

in subsection (c) above and for apportionment of
15

registration of fleets of leased vehicles by the lessee or
16

by the lessor who leases such vehicles to persons who are
17

not fleet operators.
18

(f) Such agreements or arrangements may also include

1

3

and privileges thereby accorded by this State to the
4

vehicles of such other jurisdictions. A declaration by the
5

Secretary of State may include any, part or all reciprocal
6

14

15

truck-tractors and buses, entitled to reciprocal benefits,
16

exemptions or privileges hereunder, a reciprocity permit
17

18

exemptions or privileges are granted. The Secretary of
19

State shall provide suitable application forms for such
20

permit and shall promulgate and publish reasonable rules
21

and regulations for the administration and enforcement of
22

the provisions of this Code including a provision for
23

revocation of such permit as to any vehicle operated
24

wilfully in violation of the terms of any reciprocal
25

agreement, arrangement or declaration or in violation of
26

the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law, as amended.

HB4840

1

(7)(a) Upon the suspension, revocation or denial of
2

one or more of all reciprocal benefits, privileges and
3

exemptions existing pursuant to the terms and provisions
4

of this Code or by virtue of a reciprocal agreement or
5

arrangement or declaration thereunder; or, upon the
6

suspension, revocation or denial of a reciprocity permit;
7

or, upon any action or inaction of the Secretary in the
8

administration and enforcement of the provisions of this
9

Code, any person, resident or nonresident, so aggrieved,
10

may serve upon the Secretary, a petition in writing and
11

under oath, setting forth the grievance of the petitioner,

motion, or request for hearing conducted pursuant to this
20

Section. These fees must be deposited into the Secretary
21

of State DUI Administration Fund, a special fund that is
22

hereby created in the State treasury, and, subject to
23

appropriation and as directed by the Secretary of State,
24

shall be used to fund the operation of the hearings
25

department of the Office of the Secretary of State and for
26

no other purpose. The Secretary shall establish by rule

HB4840
- 13 -
LRB104 18109 LNS 31548 b
1

the amount and the procedures, terms, and conditions
2

relating to these fees.
3

(b) The Secretary may likewise, in his discretion and
4

upon his own petition, order a hearing, when in his best
5

judgment, any person is not entitled to the reciprocal
6

benefits, privileges and exemptions existing pursuant to
7

the terms and provisions of this Code or under a
8

reciprocal agreement or arrangement or declaration
9

thereunder or that a vehicle owned or operated by such
10

person is improperly registered or licensed, or that an
11

Illinois resident has improperly registered or licensed a
12

vehicle in another jurisdiction for the purposes of
13

violating or avoiding the registration laws of this State.
