| 14 | | and, where applicable, current registration stickers for motor | 15 | | vehicles of the
first division. The provisions of this Section | 16 | | may be made applicable to such
vehicles of the second division, | 17 | | as the Secretary of State may, from time to
time, in his | 18 | | discretion designate. On subsequent annual registrations
| 19 | | during the term of the registration plate as provided in | 20 | | Section 3-414.1, the
Secretary shall issue or cause to be | 21 | | issued registration stickers as evidence
of current | 22 | | registration. However, the issuance of annual registration | 23 | | stickers

displayed. Registration plates issued to a vehicle | 15 | | registered as a fleet
vehicle may display a designation | 16 | | determined by the Secretary.

of the first division which are registered under this | 20 | | Code and only as suffixes
on registration plates issued to | 21 | | other vehicles. Every registration sticker
issued as evidence | 22 | | of current registration shall designate the year number
for | 23 | | which it is issued and such other letters or numbers as the | 24 | | Secretary may
