| 7 | | Sec. 3-600. Requirements for issuance of special plates.
| 8 | | (a) The
The Secretary of State shall issue only special | 9 | | plates that have been authorized by the General Assembly. The | 10 | | Secretary of State shall not issue a series of special plates
| 11 | | unless applications, as prescribed by the Secretary, have been | 12 | | received for
10,000 plates of that series; except that the | 13 | | Secretary of State may
prescribe some other required number of | 14 | | applications if that number is
sufficient to pay for the total | 15 | | cost of designing, manufacturing and
issuing the special | 16 | | license plate. Where a special plate is authorized by law to | 17 | | raise funds for a specific civic group, charitable entity, or | 18 | | other identified organization, and where the Secretary of State | 19 | | has not received the required number of applications to issue | 20 | | that special plate within 2 years of the effective date of the | 21 | | Public Act authorizing the special plate, the Secretary of | 22 | | State's authority to issue the special plate is nullified. | 23 | | (b) The Secretary of State, upon issuing a new series of |
| | | HB2543 | - 2 - | LRB098 09231 MLW 39370 b |
|
| 1 | | special license
plates, shall notify all law enforcement | 2 | | officials of the design, color and
other special features of | 3 | | the special license plate series.
| 4 | | (c) This Section shall not apply to the
Secretary of | 5 | | State's discretion as established in Section 3-611.
| 6 | | (d) If a law authorizing a special license plate provides | 7 | | that the sponsoring organization is to designate a charitable | 8 | | entity as the recipient of the funds from the sale of that | 9 | | license plate, the designated charitable entity must be in | 10 | | compliance with the registration and reporting requirements of | 11 | | the Charitable Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. | 12 | | In addition, the charitable entity must annually provide the | 13 | | Secretary of State's office a letter of compliance issued by | 14 | | the Illinois Attorney General's office verifying the entity is | 15 | | in compliance with the Acts. | 16 | | In the case of a law in effect before the effective date of | 17 | | this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, the name of | 18 | | the charitable entity which is to receive the funds shall be | 19 | | provided to the Secretary of State within one year after the | 20 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | 21 | | Assembly. In the case of a law that takes effect on or after | 22 | | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General | 23 | | Assembly, the name of the charitable entity which is to receive | 24 | | the funds shall be provided to the Secretary of State within | 25 | | one year after the law takes effect. If the organization fails | 26 | | to designate an appropriate charitable entity within the |
| | | HB2543 | - 3 - | LRB098 09231 MLW 39370 b |
|
| 1 | | one-year period, or if the designated charitable entity fails | 2 | | to annually provide the Secretary of State a letter of | 3 | | compliance issued by the Illinois Attorney General's office, | 4 | | any funds collected from the sale of plates authorized for that | 5 | | organization and not previously disbursed shall be transferred | 6 | | to the General Revenue Fund, and the special plates shall be | 7 | | discontinued. | 8 | | (e) If fewer than 1,000 sets of any special license plate | 9 | | authorized by law and issued by the Secretary of State are | 10 | | actively registered for 2 consecutive calendar years, the | 11 | | Secretary of State may discontinue the issuance of that special | 12 | | license plate. | 13 | | (f) Where special license plates have been discontinued | 14 | | pursuant to subsection (d) or (e) of this Section, all | 15 | | previously issued plates of that type shall be recalled. Owners | 16 | | of vehicles which were registered with recalled plates shall | 17 | | not be charged a reclassification or registration sticker | 18 | | replacement plate fee upon the issuance of new plates for those | 19 | | vehicles. | 20 | | (Source: P.A. 97-409, eff. 1-1-12.)
