23        (a)  The Secretary of State upon  registering  a  vehicle
24    subject  to  annual  registration  for  the first time  shall
25    issue  or  shall  cause  to  be  issued  to  the  owner   one

27    motorized pedalcycle or truck-tractor, 2 registration  plates
28    for  other  motor  vehicles  and,  where  applicable, current
29    registration  stickers  for  motor  vehicles  of  the   first
30    division.   The  provisions  of  this  Section  may  be  made
31    applicable  to  such  vehicles of the second division, as the
32    Secretary of State may, from time to time, in his  discretion
33    designate. On subsequent annual registrations during the term
SB30 Engrossed              -11-               LRB9000016NTcw
 1    of the registration plate as provided in Section 3-414.1, the
 2    Secretary  shall  issue  or  cause  to be issued registration
 3    stickers as evidence of current  registration.  However,  the
 4    issuance   of   annual   registration  stickers  to  vehicles
 5    registered under the provisions of Section  3-402.1  of  this
 6    Code  may not be required if the Secretary deems the issuance
 7    unnecessary.
 8        (b)  Every registration plate shall have  displayed  upon
 9    it  the registration number assigned to the vehicle for which
10    it  is  issued,  the  name  of  this  State,  which  may   be
11    abbreviated,  the  year number for which it was issued, which
12    may be abbreviated, the phrase "Land of Lincoln",  except  as
13    provided  in  Sections  3-626,  Section  3-629, 3-633, 3-634,
14    3-637, and 3-638 and Section 3-631, and such other letters or
15    numbers  as  the  Secretary  may  prescribe.    However,  for
16    apportionment plates  issued  to  vehicles  registered  under
17    Section  3-402.1, the phrase "Land of Lincoln" may be omitted
18    to allow for the word "apportioned"  to  be  displayed.   The
19    Secretary  may  in  his  discretion prescribe that letters be
20    used as  prefixes  only  on  registration  plates  issued  to
21    vehicles  of  the  first  division which are registered under
22    this Code and only as suffixes on registration plates  issued
23    to  other  vehicles.   Every  registration  sticker issued as
24    evidence of current registration  shall  designate  the  year
25    number  for  which  it  is  issued  and such other letters or
26    numbers as the Secretary may prescribe  and  shall  be  of  a
27    contrasting   color   with   the   registration   plates  and
28    registration stickers of the previous year.
29        (c)  Each registration plate and the required letters and
30    numerals thereon, except the year number  for  which  issued,
31    shall  be  of  sufficient  size to be plainly readable from a
32    distance of 100 feet during daylight,  and  shall  be  coated
33    with  reflectorizing  material.   The dimensions of the plate
34    issued to vehicles of the first division shall  be  6  by  12

 4    of registration plates as the type of  plates  issued  for  a
 5    private passenger vehicle.
 6        (e)  The   Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  for  every
 7    passenger car  used  as  a  taxicab  or  livery,  distinctive

11    between motorcycles having  150  or  more  cubic  centimeters
12    piston displacement, or having less than 150 cubic centimeter
13    piston displacement.
14        (g)  Registration  plates issued to vehicles for-hire may
15    display a designation as determined  by  the  Secretary  that
16    such vehicles are for-hire.
17        (h)  The Secretary of State shall issue for each electric
18    vehicle   distinctive   registration   plates   which   shall
19    distinguish   between  electric  vehicles  having  a  maximum
20    operating speed of 45 miles per hour or more and those having
21    a maximum operating speed of less than 45 miles per hour.
22        (i)  The Secretary of State shall issue for every  public
23    and  private  ambulance  registration  plates identifying the
24    vehicle as an ambulance.  The Secretary shall forward to  the
25    Department  of  Public  Aid  registration information for the
26    purpose of verification of claims filed with  the  Department
27    by  ambulance  owners  for  payment  for  services  to public
28    assistance recipients.
29        (j)  The Secretary of State shall issue for every  public
30    and   private   medical  carrier  or  rescue  vehicle  livery
31    registration  plates  displaying  numbers  within  ranges  of
32    numbers reserved respectively for medical carriers and rescue
33    vehicles.  The Secretary shall forward to the  Department  of
34    Public  Aid  registration  information  for  the  purpose  of

 5    begin  to replace multi-year registration plates issued under
 6    Section 3-414.1 After completion of the  replacement  of  the
 7    multi-year   registration   plates  beginning  in  1999,  the

10    plates issued under Section 3-414.
