| Section.

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.
