Sec. 3-701. Operation of vehicles without evidence of

registration - Operation under mileage plates when odometer

broken or disconnected. No person shall operate, nor shall an

owner knowingly permit to be operated, upon any highway unless

there shall be attached thereto and displayed thereon when and

as required by law, proper evidence of registration in

Illinois, as follows:

(1) A vehicle required to be registered in Illinois. A

current and valid Illinois registration sticker or

stickers and plate or plates, or an Illinois temporary

registration permit, or a drive-away or in-transit permit,

issued therefor by the Secretary of State; or

(2) A vehicle eligible for Reciprocity. A current and

valid reciprocal foreign registration plate or plates

properly issued to such vehicle or a temporary registration

issued therefor, by the reciprocal State, and, in addition,

when required by the Secretary, a current and valid

Illinois Reciprocity Permit or Prorate Decal issued

therefor by the Secretary of State; or except as otherwise

expressly provided for in this Chapter.

(3) A vehicle commuting for repairs in Illinois. A

dealer plate issued by a foreign state shall exempt a

vehicle from the requirements of this Section if the

vehicle is being operated for the purpose of transport to a

repair facility in Illinois to have repairs performed on

the vehicle displaying foreign dealer plates. The driver of

the motor vehicle bearing dealer plates shall provide a

work order or contract with the repair facility to a law

enforcement officer upon request.

No person shall operate, nor shall any owner knowingly

permit to be operated, any vehicle of the second division for

which the owner has made an election to pay the mileage tax in

lieu of the annual flat weight tax, at any time when the

odometer of such vehicle is broken or disconnected, or is

inoperable or not operating.
