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 5.875 as follows:
|
(30 ILCS 105/5.875 new) |
Sec. 5.875. The Horsemen's Council of Illinois 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.
|
(e) The following organizations may issue decals for |
Universal special license plates with the original and renewal |
fees and fee distribution as follows: |
(1) The Illinois Department of Natural Resources. |
(A) Original issuance: $25; with $10 to the |
Roadside Monarch Habitat Fund and $15 to the Secretary |
of State Special Plate Fund. |

Plate Fund. |
