The new bill authored by State Rep. Tony M. McCombie in the Illinois House aims to increase convenience for vehicle owners seeking 2-year registration renewals, according to the Illinois State House.
The bill, introduced as HB5767 on May 8, 2026, during the general assembly session 104, was summarized by the state legislature as follows: “Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Requires the Secretary of State to provide the option to renew a 2-year registration sticker both online and in-person. Effective immediately.”
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to require the secretary of state to offer renewal of 2-year motor vehicle registration stickers both online and in person. It keeps existing rules for which vehicles may receive 2-year registrations, how those registrations align with emissions inspection cycles, how fees and surcharges are calculated, and how registrations may be transferred or refunded. The bill appears intended to expand access and convenience for vehicle owners by adding in-person renewal as an option. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
Mccombie has proposed another 477 bills since the beginning of the 104th session, with 10 of them being adopted.
Bills in Illinois follow a multi-step legislative process, beginning with introduction in either the House or Senate, followed by committee review, floor debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly operates on a biennial schedule, and while typically thousands of bills are introduced each session, only a fraction successfully pass through the process to become law.

McCombie, a Republican, was elected to the Illinois State House in 2023 to represent the state’s 89th House District, replacing previous state representative Andrew Chesney.
