 | 
| place of business of the licensee and in each additional place

 | 
| other locations that the community-based manufactured home
 | 
| dealer may oversee. | 
|     (g)   Except as provided in subsection (i) of this Section,
 | 
| all licenses granted under this Section shall expire by  | 
| operation of law on December 31 of the calendar year for which  |

|             (I) the uniform invoice number reflecting the  | 
| disposition of the

parts other than quarter panels and  | 
|  | 
| transmissions of vehicles of the first
division shall be  | 
| kept:
 | 
|             (i) the year, make, model, color and type of such  | 
| part;
 | 
|             (ii) the vehicle's manufacturer's identification  |

| verify and record
that person's identity by recording  | 
| the identification numbers from at
least two sources of  | 
| identification, one of which shall be a drivers
license  | 
| or State identification card;
 | 
|             (v) the uniform invoice number or out-of-state  |

 | 
|         (B) Inspections of all essential parts shall be  |

with Section 5-402.1.
 | 
|         (C) A separate entry containing all of the information  | 
| required to be
recorded in subparagraph (A) of paragraph  | 
| (2) of subsection (a) of this
Section shall be made for  | 
| each separate essential part.  Separate entries
shall be  | 
| made regardless of whether the part was a large purchase
 | 
| acquisition.  In addition, a separate entry shall be made  | 
| for each part
acquired for immediate sale or transfer, or  | 
| for placement into the overall
inventory or stock to be  | 
| disposed of at a later time, or for use on a
vehicle to be  | 
| materially altered by the licensee, or acquired for any  | 
| other
purpose or reason. Failure to make a separate entry  | 
| for each essential part
acquired or disposed of, or a  | 
| failure to record any of the specific
information required  | 
| to be recorded concerning the acquisition or
disposition of  | 
| each essential part as set forth in subparagraph (A) of
 | 
| paragraph (2) of subsection (a) shall constitute a failure  | 
| to keep records.
 | 
|         (D) The vehicle's manufacturer's identification number  | 
| or Secretary of
State or Illinois Department of State  | 
| Police identification number for the
essential part shall  | 
|  | 
| be ascertained and recorded even if such part is
acquired  | 
| from a person or dealer located in a State, territory, or  | 
| country
which does not require that such information be  | 
| recorded.  If the vehicle's
manufacturer's identification  | 
| number or Secretary of State or
Illinois Department of  | 
| State Police identification number for an essential part
 | 
| cannot be obtained, that part shall not be acquired by the  | 
| licensee or any of
his agents or employees. If such part or  | 
| parts were physically acquired by the
licensee or any of  | 
| his agents or employees while the licensee or
agent or  | 
| employee was outside this State, that licensee or agent or
 | 
| employee was outside the State, that licensee, agent or  | 
| employee shall not
bring such essential part into this  | 
| State or cause it to be brought into
this State. The  | 
| acquisition or disposition of an essential part by a
 | 
| licensee without the recording of the vehicle  | 
| identification number or
Secretary of State identification  | 
| number for such part or the
transportation into the State  | 
| by the licensee or his agent or employee of
such part or  | 
| parts shall constitute a failure to keep records.
 | 
|         (E) The records of essential parts required to be kept  | 
| by this Section
shall apply to all hulks, chassis, frames  | 
| or cowls, regardless of the age
of those essential parts.   | 
| The records required to be kept by this Section
for  | 
| essential parts other than hulks, chassis, frames or cowls,  | 
| shall apply
only to those essential parts which are 6 model  | 
|  | 
| years of age or newer.  In
determining the model year of  | 
| such an essential part it may be presumed
that the  | 
| identification number of the vehicle from which the  | 
| essential part
came or the identification number affixed to  | 
| the essential part itself
acquired by the licensee denotes  | 
| the model year of that essential part.
This presumption,  | 
| however, shall not apply if the gross appearance of the
 | 
| essential part does not correspond to the year, make or  | 
| model of either the
identification number of the vehicle  | 
| from which the essential part is
alleged to have come or  | 
| the identification number which is affixed to the
essential  | 
| part itself.  To determine whether an essential part is 6  | 
| years
of age or newer within this paragraph, the model year  | 
| of the
essential part shall be subtracted from the calendar  | 
| year in which the
essential part is acquired or disposed of  | 
| by the licensee.  If the
remainder is 6 or less, the record  | 
| of the acquisition or disposition of
that essential part  | 
| shall be kept as required by this Section.
 | 
|         (F) The requirements of paragraph (2) of subsection (a)  | 
| 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.
 | 
|     (3) the following records for vehicles on which junking  | 
| certificates are
obtained shall be kept:
 | 
|  | 
|         (A) the year, make, model, style and color of the  | 
| vehicle;
 | 
|         (B) the vehicle's manufacturer's identification number  | 
| or, if
applicable, the Secretary of State or Illinois  | 
| Department of State Police
identification number;
 | 
|         (C) the date the vehicle was acquired;
 |

| was not kept as required by this
Section.
