Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|

Section 5.935 as follows:
|
(30 ILCS 105/5.935 new) |
Sec. 5.935. The Illinois Health Care Workers Benefit Fund.
|
Section 10. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by |
changing Section 3-699.14 as follows:
|
(625 ILCS 5/3-699.14) |
Sec. 3-699.14. Universal special license plates. |
(a) In addition to any other special license plate, the |
Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and |
applications made in the form prescribed by the Secretary, may |
issue Universal special license plates to residents of |
Illinois on behalf of organizations that have been authorized |
by the General Assembly to issue decals for Universal special |
license plates. Appropriate documentation, as determined by |
the Secretary, shall accompany each application. Authorized |
organizations shall be designated by amendment to this |
Section. When applying for a Universal special license plate |
|
the applicant shall inform the Secretary of the name of the |
authorized organization from which the applicant will obtain a |
decal to place on the plate. The Secretary shall make a record |
of that organization and that organization shall remain |
affiliated with that plate until the plate is surrendered, |
revoked, or otherwise cancelled. The authorized organization |
may charge a fee to offset the cost of producing and |
distributing the decal, but that fee shall be retained by the |
authorized organization and shall be separate and distinct |
from any registration fees charged by the Secretary. No decal, |
sticker, or other material may be affixed to a Universal |
special license plate other than a decal authorized by the |
General Assembly in this Section or a registration renewal |
sticker. The special plates issued under this Section shall be |
affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first division, |
including motorcycles and autocycles, or motor vehicles of the |
second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds. Plates |
issued under this Section shall expire according to the |
multi-year procedure under Section 3-414.1 of this Code. |
(b) The design, color, and format of the Universal special |
license plate shall be wholly within the discretion of the |
Secretary. Universal special license plates are not required |
to designate "Land of Lincoln", as prescribed in subsection |
(b) of Section 3-412 of this Code. The design shall allow for |
the application of a decal to the plate. Organizations |
authorized by the General Assembly to issue decals for |
|
Universal special license plates shall comply with rules |
adopted by the Secretary governing the requirements for and |
approval of Universal special license plate decals. The |
Secretary may, in his or her discretion, allow Universal |
special license plates to be issued as vanity or personalized |
plates in accordance with Section 3-405.1 of this Code. The |
Secretary of State must make a version of the special |
registration plates authorized under this Section in a form |
appropriate for motorcycles and autocycles. |
(c) When authorizing a Universal special license plate, |
the General Assembly shall set forth whether an additional fee |
is to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, |
the amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. |
When necessary, the authorizing language shall create a |
special fund in the State treasury into which fees may be |
deposited for an authorized Universal special license plate. |
Additional fees may only be charged if the fee is to be paid |
over to a State agency or to a charitable entity that is in |
compliance with the registration and reporting requirements of |
the Charitable Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. |
Any charitable entity receiving fees for the sale of Universal |
special license plates shall annually provide the Secretary of |
State a letter of compliance issued by the Attorney General |
verifying that the entity is in compliance with the Charitable |
Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. |
(d) Upon original issuance and for each registration |
|
renewal period, in addition to the appropriate registration |
fee, if applicable, the Secretary shall collect any additional |
fees, if required, for issuance of Universal special license |
plates. The fees shall be collected on behalf of the |
organization designated by the applicant when applying for the |
plate. All fees collected shall be transferred to the State |
agency on whose behalf the fees were collected, or paid into |
the special fund designated in the law authorizing the |
organization to issue decals for Universal special license |
plates. All money in the designated fund shall be distributed |
by the Secretary subject to appropriation by the General |
Assembly.
