| 8 |
| Sec. 3-412. Registration plates and registration stickers | 9 |
| to be
furnished by the Secretary of State.
| 10 |
| (a) The Secretary of State upon registering a vehicle | 11 |
| subject to annual
registration for the first time shall issue | 12 |
| or shall cause to be issued to the
owner one registration plate | 13 |
| for a motorcycle, trailer, semitrailer, motorized
pedalcycle ,
| 14 |
| or truck-tractor, or Corvette for which a special plate has | 15 |
| been issued under Section 3-663, 2 registration plates for | 16 |
| other motor vehicles
and, where applicable, current | 17 |
| registration stickers for motor vehicles of the
first division. | 18 |
| The provisions of this Section may be made applicable to such
| 19 |
| vehicles of the second division, as the Secretary of State may, | 20 |
| from time to
time, in his discretion designate. On subsequent | 21 |
| annual registrations
during the term of the registration plate | 22 |
| as provided in Section 3-414.1, the
Secretary shall issue or | 23 |
| cause to be issued registration stickers as evidence
of current | 24 |
| registration. However, the issuance of annual registration | 25 |
| stickers
to vehicles registered under the provisions of | 26 |
| Sections 3-402.1 and 3-405.3 of
this Code may not be required | 27 |
| if the Secretary deems the issuance unnecessary.
| 28 |
| (b) Every registration plate shall have displayed upon it | 29 |
| the registration
number assigned to the vehicle for which it is | 30 |
| issued, the name of this State,
which may be abbreviated, the | 31 |

| numerals thereon,
except the year number for which issued, | 22 |
| shall be of sufficient size to be
plainly readable from a | 23 |
| distance of 100 feet during daylight, and shall be
coated with | 24 |
| reflectorizing material. The dimensions of the plate issued to
| 25 |
| vehicles of the first division shall be 6 by 12 inches.
| 26 |
| (d) The Secretary of State shall issue for every passenger | 27 |

| 31 |
