Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that beginning with the 2014 registration year, the Secretary of State (instead of the General Assembly) may authorize the issuance of special plates. Provides that the Secretary may not issue a new series of special plates unless enough applications have been received to offset the cost of producing the special plate. Provides that if a special plate is authorized to raise funds for a specific cause and the Secretary has not received the required number of applications within 2 years of date the plate is approved, the Secretary may revoke its approval of the new special plate. Provides that the Secretary shall notify all law enforcement officials of the design, color, and other special features of any new plates it issues. Provides, with exceptions, that the new provisions shall not affect the issuance or reissuance of special plates in existence on the effective date of the amendatory Act or the Secretary's discretion to make special designations in relation to certain categories of plates. Provides that revenues from special plates shall benefit only designated charitable entities, which must be in compliance with specified requirements. Provides that in the case of a failure to comply with the requirements, the special plates shall be discontinued and any undisbursed funds collected from the sale of plates authorized for that organization shall be transferred to the General Revenue Fund. Provides that if fewer than 1,000 sets of any special plate are actively registered for 2 consecutive calendar years, the Secretary may discontinue the issuance of that special plate, discontinued plates shall be recalled, and owners of vehicles registered with recalled plates shall not be charged a reclassification or sticker replacement plate fee upon the issuance of new plates.
