Provides that a person who sells or advertises the sale of registration plate covers shall be guilty of a business offense. Provides that a person may not modify a vehicle's original mounting location so as to hinder a peace officer from obtaining the registration; that a person who does so is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor; and that the Secretary of State may suspend the driving privileges of a person who violates the new provisions. Adds concealing or altering a vehicle's license plate to the list of aggravating factors for fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer. Provides that the owner of a vehicle involved in a commission of aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer must, upon request, provide the name of the operator of the vehicle at the time of the offense and provides penalties for noncompliance. Provides that a police officer may order the removal of a vehicle that has had its registration suspended, cancelled, or revoked. Provides that the handlebars of a motorcycle may not be higher than the height of the operator's head and that the operator must keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times the motorcycle is in motion. Provides that a person commits aggravated operating a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or moped on one wheel when he or she operates on one wheel while speeding. Provides that a first violation of aggravated operating a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or moped on one wheel is a petty offense with a minimum fine of $1,000, a second violation is a Class A misdemeanor with a minimum fine of $2,500, and a third or subsequent violation is a Class 4 felony with a minimum fine of $5,000. Provides that motorcycles and motor-driven cycles may be equipped with a red or amber stop lamp on the rear of the vehicle that flashes and becomes steady only when the brake is actuated.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the original bill, with the following changes: (1) adds images recorded by an automated speed enforcement system to the list of recorded images included in the definition of "registration plate cover; (2) corrects a typographical error in a Section concerning the Secretary of State's discretionary authority to suspend or revoke license or permit; (3) removes changes providing that that the owner of a vehicle involved in a commission of aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer must, upon request, provide the name of the operator of the vehicle at the time of the offense and removes the penalties for noncompliance; (4) provides that the handlebar grips (instead of "handlebars") of a motorcycle may not be higher than the height of the operator's head and that the operator must keep at least one hand on a handlebar grip (instead of "the handlebars") at all times the motorcycle is in motion; (5) provides that aggravated operating on a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or moped on one wheel is a petty offense with a minimum fine of $100 (instead of $1,000), except a second conviction is a Class B misdemeanor for a second conviction, and a third or subsequent conviction is a Class A misdemeanor; and (6) provides that penalties for aggravated operating a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or moped on one wheel take effect upon a conviction of a violation of the new provisions (instead of upon "a violation").
