15sticker. The special plates issued under this Section shall be

13to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, the
14amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. When
15necessary, the authorizing language shall create a special fund
16in the State treasury into which fees may be deposited for an
17authorized Universal special license plate. Additional fees
18may only be charged if the fee is to be paid over to a State
19agency or to a charitable entity that is in compliance with the
20registration and reporting requirements of the Charitable
21Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. Any charitable
22entity receiving fees for the sale of Universal special license
