The Illinois Child Passenger Protection Act requires that all children under age 8 be properly secured in an appropriate child safety restraint system. This includes the use of booster seats, which must only be used with a lap/shoulder safety belt. If the back seat of the vehicle is not equipped with lap/shoulder type safety belts, a child weighing more than 40 pounds may be transported in the back seat without a booster seat, secured with a lap belt only.As of January, 1, 2019 the Child Passenger Protection Act is amended to include the requirement for children under age 2 years to be properly secured in a rear-facing child restraint system unless the child weighs 40 or more pounds or are 40 or more inches tall. #childpassengerprotectionact, #childseatbelts, #boosterseats,
The State of Illinois issues a special driver's license to non-citizens who cannot get a SSN. The license is called Temporary Visitor Driver's License (TVDL). You can apply for a TVDL if you have a lawful immigration status. If you are an undocumented immigrant, you may be able to get a TVDL as well. A TVDL cannot serve as a government-issued ID. TVDL is valid for three years. After that, you have to re-apply as a new applicant.
