 (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 5-402.1)(Text of Section from P.A. 102-318)Sec. 5-402.1. Use of Secretary of State Uniform Invoice for Essential  Parts.(a) Except for scrap processors, every person licensed or required  to be licensed under Section 5-101, 5-101.1, 5-102, 5-102.8, or 5-301 of this Code  shall  issue, in a form the Secretary of State may by rule or regulation  prescribe, a Uniform Invoice, which may also act as a bill of sale, with respect to each transaction in which he disposes of  an essential part other than quarter panels and transmissions of vehicles  of the first division.  Such Invoice shall be made out at the time of the  disposition of the essential part.  If the licensee disposes of several  essential parts in the same transaction, the licensee may issue one Uniform  Invoice covering all essential parts disposed of in that transaction.(b) The following information shall be contained on the Uniform Invoice:(1) the business name, address and dealer license     number of the person disposing of the essential part;(2) the name and address of the person acquiring the     essential part, and if that person is a dealer, the Illinois or out-of-state dealer license number of that dealer;(3) the date of the disposition of the essential part;(4) the year, make, model, color and description of     each essential part disposed of by the person;(5) the manufacturer's vehicle identification number,     Secretary of State identification number or Illinois Department of State Police identification number, for each essential part disposed of by the person;(6) the printed name and legible signature of the     person or agent disposing of the essential part; and(7) if the person is a dealer the printed name and     legible signature of the dealer or his agent or employee accepting delivery of the essential part.(c) Except for scrap processors, and except as set forth in subsection  (d) of this Section, whenever a person licensed or  required to be licensed by Section  5-101, 5-101.1, 5-102, or 5-301 accepts delivery of an essential  part, other than quarter panels and transmissions of vehicles of the  first division, that person shall, at the time of the acceptance or  delivery, comply  with the following procedures:(1) Before acquiring or accepting delivery of any     essential part, the licensee or his authorized agent or employee shall inspect the part to determine whether the vehicle identification number, Secretary of State identification number, Illinois Department of State Police identification number, or identification plate or sticker attached to or stamped on any part being acquired or delivered has been removed, falsified, altered, defaced, destroyed, or tampered with.  If the licensee or his agent or employee determines that the vehicle identification number, Secretary of State identification number, Illinois Department of State Police identification number, identification plate or identification sticker containing an identification number, or Federal Certificate label of an essential part has been removed, falsified, altered, defaced, destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or agent shall not accept or receive that part.If that part was physically acquired by or delivered     to a licensee or his agent or employee while that licensee, agent or employee was outside this State, that licensee or agent or employee shall not bring that essential part into this State or cause it to be brought into this State.(2) If the person disposing of or delivering the     essential part to the licensee is a licensed in-state or out-of-state dealer, the licensee or his agent or employee, after inspecting the essential part as required by paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), shall examine the Uniform Invoice, or bill of sale, as the case may be, to ensure that it contains all the information required to be provided by persons disposing of essential parts as set forth in subsection (b) of this Section.  If the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale does not contain all the information required to be listed by subsection (b) of this Section, the dealer disposing of or delivering such part or his agent or employee shall record such additional information or other needed modifications on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale or, if needed, an attachment thereto.  The dealer or his agent or employee delivering the essential part shall initial all additions or modifications to the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale and legibly print his name at the bottom of each document containing his initials.  If the transaction involves a bill of sale rather than a Uniform Invoice, the licensee or his agent or employee accepting delivery of or acquiring the essential part shall affix his printed name and legible signature on the space on the bill of sale provided for his signature or, if no space is provided, on the back of the bill of sale. If the dealer or his agent or employee disposing of or delivering the essential part cannot or does not provide all the information required by subsection (b) of this Section, the licensee or his agent or employee shall not accept or receive any essential part for which that required information is not provided.  If such essential part for which the information required is not fully provided was physically acquired while the licensee or his agent or employee was outside this State, the licensee or his agent or employee shall not bring that essential part into this State or cause it to be brought into this State.(3) If the person disposing of the essential part is     not a licensed dealer, the licensee or his agent or employee shall, after inspecting the essential part as required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Section verify the identity of the person disposing of the essential part by examining 2 sources of identification, one of which shall be either a driver's license or state identification card.  The licensee or his agent or employee shall then prepare a Uniform Invoice listing all the information required to be provided by subsection (b) of this Section.  In the space on the Uniform Invoice provided for the dealer license number of the person disposing of the part, the licensee or his agent or employee shall list the numbers taken from the documents of identification provided by the person disposing of the part.  The person disposing of the part shall affix his printed name and legible signature on the space on the Uniform Invoice provided for the person disposing of the essential part and the licensee or his agent or employee acquiring the part shall affix his printed name and legible signature on the space provided on the Uniform Invoice for the person acquiring the essential part.  If the person disposing of the essential part cannot or does not provide all the information required to be provided by this paragraph, or does not present 2 satisfactory forms of identification, the licensee or his agent or employee shall not acquire that essential part.(d) If an essential part other than  quarter panels and  transmissions of vehicles of the first division was delivered by a licensed commercial  delivery service delivering such part on behalf of a licensed dealer, the  person required to comply with subsection (c) of this Section may conduct  the inspection of that part required by paragraph (1) of subsection (c) and examination  of the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale required by paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of  this Section immediately after the acceptance of the part.(1) If the inspection of the essential part pursuant     to paragraph (1) of subsection (c) reveals that the vehicle identification number, Secretary of State identification number, Illinois Department of State Police identification number, identification plate or sticker containing an identification number, or Federal Certificate label of an essential part has been removed, falsified, altered, defaced, destroyed or tampered with, the licensee or his agent shall immediately record such fact on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale, assign the part an inventory or stock number, place such inventory or stock number on both the essential part and the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale, and record the date of the inspection of the part on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale. The licensee shall, within 7 days of such inspection, return such part to the dealer from whom it was acquired.(2) If the examination of the Uniform Invoice or bill     of sale pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (c) reveals that any of the information required to be listed by subsection (b) of this Section is missing, the licensee or person required to be licensed shall immediately assign a stock or inventory number to such part, place such stock or inventory number on both the essential part and the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale, and record the date of examination on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale.  The licensee or person required to be licensed shall acquire the information missing from the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale within 7 days of the examination of such Uniform Invoice or bill of sale.  Such information may be received by telephone conversation with the dealer from whom the part was acquired.  If the dealer provides the missing information the licensee shall record such information on the Uniform Invoice or bill of sale along with the name of the person providing the information.  If the dealer does not provide the required information within the aforementioned 7 day period, the licensee shall return the part to that dealer.(e) Except for scrap processors, all persons licensed or required to  be licensed who acquire or  dispose of essential parts other than quarter panels and transmissions of  vehicles of the first division shall retain a copy of the Uniform Invoice  required to be made by subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section for a  period of 3 years.(f) Except for scrap processors, any person licensed or required to  be licensed under Sections 5-101,  5-102 or 5-301 who knowingly fails to record on a Uniform Invoice any of the  information or entries required to be recorded by subsections (a), (b) and  (c) of this Section, or who knowingly places false entries or other misleading  information on such Uniform Invoice, or who knowingly fails to retain for 3 years a  copy of a Uniform Invoice reflecting transactions required to be recorded  by subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, or who knowingly acquires or  disposes of essential parts without receiving, issuing, or executing a  Uniform Invoice reflecting that transaction as required by subsections (a),  (b) and (c) of this Section, or who brings or causes to be brought into  this State essential parts for which the information required to be  recorded on a Uniform Invoice is not recorded as prohibited by subsection  (c) of this Section, or who knowingly fails to comply with the provisions of  this  Section in any other manner shall be guilty of a Class 2 felony.  Each  violation shall constitute a separate and distinct offense and a separate  count may be brought in the same indictment or information for each  essential part for which a record was not kept as required by this Section  or for which the person failed to comply with other provisions of this  Section.(g) The records required to be kept by this Section  may be examined by a person or persons making a lawful  inspection of the licensee's premises pursuant to Section 5-403.(h) The records required to be kept by this Section shall be retained by  the licensee at his principal place of business for a period of 3 years.(i) The requirements of this Section shall not apply to the disposition  of an essential part other than a cowl which has been damaged or altered to  a state in which it can no longer be returned to a usable condition and  which is being sold or transferred to a scrap processor or for delivery to  a scrap processor.
