Universal special license plates. | 15 | | (a) In addition to any other special license plate, the | 16 | | Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and applications | 17 | | made in the form prescribed by the Secretary, may issue | 18 | | Universal special license plates to residents of Illinois on | 19 | | behalf of organizations that have been authorized by the | 20 | | General Assembly to issue decals for Universal special license | 21 | | plates. Appropriate documentation, as determined by the | 22 | | Secretary, shall accompany each application.

|
| 1 | | authorized organization from which the applicant will obtain a | 2 | | decal to place on the plate. The Secretary shall make a record | 3 | | of that organization and that organization shall remain | 4 | | affiliated with that plate until the plate is surrendered, | 5 | | revoked, or otherwise cancelled. The authorized organization | 6 | | may charge a fee to offset the cost of producing and | 7 | | distributing the decal, but that fee shall be retained by the | 8 | | authorized organization and shall be separate and distinct from | 9 | | any registration fees charged by the Secretary. No decal, | 10 | | sticker, or other material may be affixed to a Universal | 11 | | special license plate other than a decal authorized by the | 12 | | General Assembly in this Section or a registration renewal | 13 | | sticker. The special plates issued under this Section shall be | 14 | | affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first division, | 15 | | including motorcycles and autocycles, or motor vehicles of the | 16 | | second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds.

Universal special license plates are not required to | 22 | | designate "Land of Lincoln", as prescribed in subsection (b) of | 23 | | Section 3-412 of this Code. The design shall allow for the | 24 | | application of a decal to the plate. Organizations authorized | 25 | | by the General Assembly to issue decals for Universal special | 26 | | license plates shall comply with rules adopted by the Secretary |
| | | 10000SB1505ham002 | - 7 - | LRB100 11143 AXK 26984 a |
|
| 1 | | governing the requirements for and approval of Universal | 2 | | special license plate decals. The Secretary may, in his or her | 3 | | discretion, allow Universal special license plates to be issued | 4 | | as vanity or personalized plates in accordance with Section | 5 | | 3-405.1 of this Code. The Secretary of State must make a | 6 | | version of the special registration plates authorized under | 7 | | this Section in a form appropriate for motorcycles and | 8 | | autocycles. | 9 | | (c) When authorizing a Universal special license plate, the | 10 | | General Assembly shall set forth whether an additional fee is | 11 | | to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, the | 12 | | amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. When | 13 | | necessary, the authorizing language shall create a special fund | 14 | | in the State treasury into which fees may be deposited for an | 15 | | authorized Universal special license plate. Additional fees | 16 | | may only be charged if the fee is to be paid over to a State | 17 | | agency or to a charitable entity that is in compliance with the | 18 | | registration and reporting requirements of the Charitable | 19 | | Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. Any charitable | 20 | | entity receiving fees for the sale of Universal special license | 21 | | plates shall annually provide the Secretary of State a letter | 22 | | of compliance issued by the Attorney General verifying that the | 23 | | entity is in compliance with the Charitable Trust Act and the | 24 | | Solicitation for Charity Act. | 25 | | (d) Upon original issuance and for each registration | 26 | | renewal period, in addition to the appropriate registration |

The fees shall be collected on behalf of the | 4 | | organization designated by the applicant when applying for the | 5 | | plate. All fees collected shall be transferred to the State | 6 | | agency on whose behalf the fees were collected, or paid into | 7 | | the special fund designated in the law authorizing the | 8 | | organization to issue decals for Universal special license | 9 | | plates. All money in the designated fund shall be distributed | 10 | | by the Secretary subject to appropriation by the General | 11 | | Assembly.
