Sec. 3-414.5. Multi-year registration.(a)  The Secretary of State shall permit the owner of a motor vehicle of the first division or a motor vehicle of the second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds or a motor vehicle of the second division applying for a C class registration plate to register the motor vehicle for a period of 2 years if the owner selects to register his or her motor vehicle under this Section.(1)          If the motor vehicle to be registered is     required to undergo emissions inspections, the 2-year registration must coincide with the emissions inspection cycle.(2)          An applicant for a 2-year registration     shall apply online or by completing and mailing the appropriate 2-year registration application form to the address indicated on the form.(3)          The owner of a motor vehicle with a     2-year registration may transfer that registration to another motor vehicle with the same emissions inspection requirements, if applicable.  The owner of a motor vehicle with a 2-year registration who discontinues use of the registration before the expiration of the 2-year period is not entitled to a complete or a prorated refund of the registration fee.(4)          The fee for a 2-year registration shall     be twice the applicable annual registration fee for the motor vehicle being registered.  If the owner of a motor vehicle issued registration under this subsection is subject to an annual surcharge under Section 3-806 or 3-815, the Secretary of State shall collect the surcharge for each registration year of the multi-year registration at the same time the Secretary of State collects the one-time registration fee.(b)          The Secretary of State shall permit the owner of a trailer to register the trailer for a period of either one year or up to an extended 5-year registration period.(1)          The registration shall be based on a     recurring 5-year registration period.  The trailer owner may apply for an annual registration, registration for the full 5 years, or for the number of years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of the registration application.(2)          An applicant for a 5-year trailer     registration shall apply online or by completing and mailing the appropriate 5-year registration application form to the address indicated on the form.(3)          The owner of a trailer with a 5-year     registration may transfer that registration to another trailer of the same weight class.  The owner of a trailer with a 5-year registration who discontinues use of the registration before the expiration of the 5-year period is not entitled to a complete or a prorated refund of the registration fee.(4)          The fee for a 5-year registration shall     be the same as the applicable annual registration fee for the trailer being registered multiplied by the number of years remaining in the current 5-year cycle at the time of the registration application.(c)  The Secretary of State may adopt rules to implement this Section.
