| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by adding | ||||
Section 5.935 as follows: | ||||
(30 ILCS 105/5.935 new) | ||||
Sec. 5.935. The Experimental Aircraft Association Fund. | ||||
Section 10. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by | ||||
changing Section 3-699.14 as follows: | ||||
(625 ILCS 5/3-699.14) | ||||
Sec. 3-699.14. Universal special license plates. | ||||
(a) In addition to any other special license plate, the | ||||
Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and | ||||
applications made in the form prescribed by the Secretary, may | ||||
issue Universal special license plates to residents of | ||||
Illinois on behalf of organizations that have been authorized | ||||
by the General Assembly to issue decals for Universal special | ||||
license plates. Appropriate documentation, as determined by | ||||
the Secretary, shall accompany each application. Authorized | ||||
organizations shall be designated by amendment to this | ||||
Section. When applying for a Universal special license plate |
the applicant shall inform the Secretary of the name of the | ||
authorized organization from which the applicant will obtain a | ||
decal to place on the plate. The Secretary shall make a record | ||
of that organization and that organization shall remain | ||
affiliated with that plate until the plate is surrendered, | ||
revoked, or otherwise cancelled. The authorized organization | ||
may charge a fee to offset the cost of producing and | ||
distributing the decal, but that fee shall be retained by the | ||
authorized organization and shall be separate and distinct | ||
from any registration fees charged by the Secretary. No decal, | ||
sticker, or other material may be affixed to a Universal | ||
special license plate other than a decal authorized by the | ||
General Assembly in this Section or a registration renewal | ||
sticker. The special plates issued under this Section shall be | ||
affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first division, | ||
including motorcycles and autocycles, or motor vehicles of the | ||
second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds. Plates | ||
issued under this Section shall expire according to the | ||
multi-year procedure under Section 3-414.1 of this Code. | ||
(b) The design, color, and format of the Universal special | ||
license plate shall be wholly within the discretion of the | ||
Secretary. Universal special license plates are not required | ||
to designate "Land of Lincoln", as prescribed in subsection | ||
(b) of Section 3-412 of this Code. The design shall allow for | ||
the application of a decal to the plate. Organizations | ||
authorized by the General Assembly to issue decals for |
Universal special license plates shall comply with rules | ||
adopted by the Secretary governing the requirements for and | ||
approval of Universal special license plate decals. The | ||
Secretary may, in his or her discretion, allow Universal | ||
special license plates to be issued as vanity or personalized | ||
plates in accordance with Section 3-405.1 of this Code. The | ||
Secretary of State must make a version of the special | ||
registration plates authorized under this Section in a form | ||
appropriate for motorcycles and autocycles. | ||
(c) When authorizing a Universal special license plate, | ||
the General Assembly shall set forth whether an additional fee | ||
is to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, | ||
the amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. | ||
When necessary, the authorizing language shall create a | ||
special fund in the State treasury into which fees may be | ||
deposited for an authorized Universal special license plate. | ||
Additional fees may only be charged if the fee is to be paid | ||
over to a State agency or to a charitable entity that is in | ||
compliance with the registration and reporting requirements of | ||
the Charitable Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. | ||
Any charitable entity receiving fees for the sale of Universal | ||
special license plates shall annually provide the Secretary of | ||
State a letter of compliance issued by the Attorney General | ||
verifying that the entity is in compliance with the Charitable | ||
Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. | ||
(d) Upon original issuance and for each registration |
renewal period, in addition to the appropriate registration | ||
fee, if applicable, the Secretary shall collect any additional | ||
fees, if required, for issuance of Universal special license | ||
plates. The fees shall be collected on behalf of the | ||
organization designated by the applicant when applying for the | ||
plate. All fees collected shall be transferred to the State | ||
agency on whose behalf the fees were collected, or paid into | ||
the special fund designated in the law authorizing the | ||
organization to issue decals for Universal special license | ||
plates. All money in the designated fund shall be distributed | ||
by the Secretary subject to appropriation by the General | ||
Assembly.
