Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 1030 - ISSUANCE OF LICENSES › Section 1030.14 - Emergency Contact Database

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 The Illinois Secretary of State shall establish an emergency contact database.
			 Eligible participants are any persons for whom an instruction permit, temporary
			 visitor's instruction permit, driver's license, temporary visitor's driver's
			 license or identification card record exists and can be authenticated on the
			 Secretary of State driver's license and identification card database.
b) For the purposes of this Section,
			 "emergency" is defined as a motor vehicle accident, accident involving another
			 mode of transportation, a natural disaster, a criminal act, or similar
			 unforeseen emergency circumstance in which a victim sustains injuries that
			 render him or her unable to independently communicate with emergency contacts,
			 contact information is not otherwise available, and immediate communication
			 with a next of kin or other designated emergency contact is necessary in order
			 to support the provision of needed emergency medical assistance or needed
			 notification by law enforcement.
c)
			 Participation in the emergency contact database shall be made available through
			 the Secretary of State's official web site. The applicant/participant shall be
			 responsible for initiation of participation in the database, and for
			 modification of and deletion of an existing emergency contact record and
			 disability and special needs information. Emergency contact records may
			 otherwise be modified only to update applicant/participant name information if
			 it is changed by the applicant/participant on the Secretary of State's driver's
			 license and identification card database. Emergency contact records shall
			 otherwise not be modified and shall otherwise only be deleted when the driver's
			 license or identification record no longer exists on the Secretary of State's
			 driver's license and identification card database.
d) No more than two contact persons may be
			 selected by each applicant/participant. The applicant shall be responsible for
			 the accuracy and completeness of all information submitted.
e) The applicant/participant in the emergency
			 contact database shall provide sufficient information to allow for
			 authentication of the instruction permit, temporary visitor's instruction
			 permit, driver's license, temporary visitor's driver's license or
			 identification card record, and shall provide sufficient information regarding
			 each contact's name, address, telephone number if the contact has a telephone,
			 and relationship to the applicant/participant to allow for the identification
			 of and location of his/her chosen contacts by law enforcement accessing the
			 database.
f) All requests to add,
			 modify or delete a record in the emergency contact database, including
			 disability or special needs information, shall be confidential. Information
			 contained in the emergency contact database shall only be released to law
			 enforcement in the course of official duties or pursuant to a court order. Law
			 enforcement may share information contained in the emergency contact database,
			 including disability and special needs information, with other public safety
			 workers on scene, as needed to conduct official law enforcement
			 duties.
g) A participant in the
			 emergency contact database may indicate that the participant has a disability
			 or special needs. A participant in the emergency contact database is not
			 required to indicate a disability or special need.
