1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Section 3-699.14 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (625 ILCS 5/3-699.14) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 3-699.14. Universal special license plates. | ||||||
8 | (a) In addition to any other special license plate, the | ||||||
9 | Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and | ||||||
10 | applications made in the form prescribed by the Secretary, may | ||||||
11 | issue Universal special license plates to residents of | ||||||
12 | Illinois on behalf of organizations that have been authorized | ||||||
13 | by the General Assembly to issue decals for Universal special | ||||||
14 | license plates. Appropriate documentation, as determined by | ||||||
15 | the Secretary, shall accompany each application. Authorized | ||||||
16 | organizations shall be designated by amendment to this | ||||||
17 | Section. When applying for a Universal special license plate | ||||||
18 | the applicant shall inform the Secretary of the name of the | ||||||
19 | authorized organization from which the applicant will obtain a | ||||||
20 | decal to place on the plate. The Secretary shall make a record | ||||||
21 | of that organization and that organization shall remain | ||||||
22 | affiliated with that plate until the plate is surrendered, | ||||||
23 | revoked, or otherwise cancelled. The authorized organization |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | may charge a fee to offset the cost of producing and | ||||||
2 | distributing the decal, but that fee shall be retained by the | ||||||
3 | authorized organization and shall be separate and distinct | ||||||
4 | from any registration fees charged by the Secretary. No decal, | ||||||
5 | sticker, or other material may be affixed to a Universal | ||||||
6 | special license plate other than a decal authorized by the | ||||||
7 | General Assembly in this Section or a registration renewal | ||||||
8 | sticker. The special plates issued under this Section shall be | ||||||
9 | affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first division, | ||||||
10 | including motorcycles and autocycles, or motor vehicles of the | ||||||
11 | second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds. Plates | ||||||
12 | issued under this Section shall expire according to the | ||||||
13 | multi-year procedure under Section 3-414.1 of this Code. | ||||||
14 | (b) The design, color, and format of the Universal special | ||||||
15 | license plate shall be wholly within the discretion of the | ||||||
16 | Secretary. Universal special license plates are not required | ||||||
17 | to designate "Land of Lincoln", as prescribed in subsection | ||||||
18 | (b) of Section 3-412 of this Code. The design shall allow for | ||||||
19 | the application of a decal to the plate. Organizations | ||||||
20 | authorized by the General Assembly to issue decals for | ||||||
21 | Universal special license plates shall comply with rules | ||||||
22 | adopted by the Secretary governing the requirements for and | ||||||
23 | approval of Universal special license plate decals. The | ||||||
24 | Secretary may, in his or her discretion, allow Universal | ||||||
25 | special license plates to be issued as vanity or personalized | ||||||
26 | plates in accordance with Section 3-405.1 of this Code. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Secretary of State must make a version of the special | ||||||
2 | registration plates authorized under this Section in a form | ||||||
3 | appropriate for motorcycles and autocycles. | ||||||
4 | (c) When authorizing a Universal special license plate, | ||||||
5 | the General Assembly shall set forth whether an additional fee | ||||||
6 | is to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, | ||||||
7 | the amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. | ||||||
8 | When necessary, the authorizing language shall create a | ||||||
9 | special fund in the State treasury into which fees may be | ||||||
10 | deposited for an authorized Universal special license plate. | ||||||
11 | Additional fees may only be charged if the fee is to be paid | ||||||
12 | over to a State agency or to a charitable entity that is in | ||||||
13 | compliance with the registration and reporting requirements of | ||||||
14 | the Charitable Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. | ||||||
15 | Any charitable entity receiving fees for the sale of Universal | ||||||
16 | special license plates shall annually provide the Secretary of | ||||||
17 | State a letter of compliance issued by the Attorney General | ||||||
18 | verifying that the entity is in compliance with the Charitable | ||||||
19 | Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. | ||||||
20 | (d) Upon original issuance and for each registration | ||||||
21 | renewal period, in addition to the appropriate registration | ||||||
22 | fee, if applicable, the Secretary shall collect any additional | ||||||
23 | fees, if required, for issuance of Universal special license | ||||||
24 | plates. The fees shall be collected on behalf of the | ||||||
25 | organization designated by the applicant when applying for the | ||||||
26 | plate. All fees collected shall be transferred to the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agency on whose behalf the fees were collected, or paid into | ||||||
2 | the special fund designated in the law authorizing the | ||||||
3 | organization to issue decals for Universal special license | ||||||
4 | plates. All money in the designated fund shall be distributed | ||||||
5 | by the Secretary subject to appropriation by the General | ||||||
6 | Assembly.
