The Secretary of State has unfairly increased Illinois residents Drivers License Fees.

The cost of consumer renewal fees have jumped from $10 to a whopping $30 dollars. This is not targeted at all residents. Just people between 21 & 68.

Consumers need to contact Jesse White to complain about the increase.

In addition consumers should contact their Illinois state Representatives & Senators here:

Please contact each of them to let them know that this is not just not nominal fee increase, this is high way robbery.

Got this letter from Jesse White saying he could not resolve the matter to instead contact the reps and senators directly.

Thank you for your email concerning the recent driver's license fee increase.

First, I would like to point out that I do not have the authority to raise, or lower, any fees within my office. Only the General Assembly and the Governor have this authority.

As you know, effective October 11, 2009, the driver's license renewal fee increased from $10 to $30 for those aged 21 - 68. This increase was initiated by the General Assembly in House Bill 255, which was passed by both legislative chambers and then signed into law by the Governor on July 13, 2009. The additional fees collected do not go to my office, but are deposited into the State of Illinois' Capital Projects Fund.

I understand that these are tough economic times for everybody. In fact, over the past few years my budget has been cut each successive year, and we are doing more with less. I remain committed to finding additional ways to deliver the highest level of customer service without further burdening taxpayers.

Sincerely,

Jesse White
Illinois Secretary of State
