How do I complete a emission test if my license plate is expired?

I can't renew the car's plate without driving it to the facility, but can't drive it without registration.

I've already used the 3 seven day passes to fix the car (taking it to various shops) but now I need to drive the car to reset codes, and to take it to the emission test. However, as I said above, how can I go about doing that without registration?

Can I get a temporary license plate from the dmv if I show the paper (receipt) from the shops or something?

Independent trade deal

Illinois should begin independent trade negotiations with Canada, Mexico and China. Bypass the federal craziness and come to an understanding with the International community. I know your saying " That's not how it works. The Federal government does that."and I'd say "Screw that if Trump can throw the rules out the window so can we." It's a matter of survival now.

Moving to Decatur IL, any suggestions of rent options?

Hey! Moving there for work, I have always lived in apartments, but can't seem to find anything in and around Decatur. Anyone has any suggestions? Or know any good apartments in either Forsyth, Mount Zion or Long Creek? Appreciate it.

How to nominate someone for the Illinois High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame?

Hello,

My grandpa was a high school football coach in Illinois for a long time. He died about a month ago and I would like to nominate him for the state coaches hall of fame. I do not know any of his stats, but I could easily find that out. How would I go about nominating him, if anyone knows?

Thanks

Trump is incompetent and an illegitimate president under the 14th Amendment. Don't give up. Lock in and fight.

What are some ways to get more involved in politics?

I started googling looking for protests, activist groups, and the like but not having alot of luck. Even volunteer opportunities, printed out lists of how to handle ICE and resources for lgbtq and left them in public areas (with permission) including around my parents home in Indiana. In college I was involved in things due to my roommates being poli sci and dragging me along.

I'm very scared of the future and I want my future children/grandkids to know I didn't just sit silently and do nothing.

How much Rep Mary Miller cares about children

Rep. Mary Miller (Distance 15) is co sponsoring the national abortion ban. She was also “saved” (in evangelical parlance) as a member of the religious cult started by George Geftakys. You can find a post about it on Reddit. I guess

One of that group’s popular “training methods” for toddlers was to place a toy or piece of candy within their reach, tell them they couldn’t touch it, wait for the them to do that (because toddler), and then hit them. So they learned unquestioning obedience.

If you wish to share your feeling about this bill with Mrs. Miller, her office line is on her US House profile.

ETA: for those saying she doesn’t care, I do know that. My parents are just like her. I shared my feelings about the bill for me.

Has anyone used the kiosks to remew stickers? I was looking forward to these and have my mom renew mine

I'm studying in a different state and use my car registered in Illinois. I wanted to know if it's an easy process for my mom to renew her own and perhaps my own sticker.

Do you have to do emissions test later or not?

Thanks for the info!

I don't even know if the kiosks are open.
