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