Do you have to renew your license plates in Illinois if your car hasn't passed the emissions test or if it's not drivable?

[Edit]

Answer

My best guess would be yes, if the vehicle is parked on street or where it can be seen from the street, you can receive parking tickets or have your vehicle impounded for having expired tags. But if registration requires current emissions testing, you'll have to put your vehicle in a garage or into some kind of storage facility. Check with the Illinois DMV to see if a "nonoperational" registration is available.
