FACEMASKS ONCE AGAIN REQUIRED AT STATE FACILITIES – Effective today, the Illinois Secretary of State has ordered the use of face masks at all SOS facilities statewide and the Illinois Capitol Building in Springfield.  The face mask mandate is considered a preventative measure in light of the recent uptick in positive COVID cases being reported.  Secretary of State Jesse White says its imperative for driver service facilities to remain open to handle the heavy post-COVID volume of renewals.  While expiration deadlines have been extended for drivers licenses and vehicle registrations, it DOES NOT INCLUDE CDL’s or truck registrations.
