8delayed effective date)

10    (a) In addition to any other special license plate, the
11Secretary, upon receipt of all applicable fees and applications
12made in the form prescribed by the Secretary, may issue
13Universal special license plates to residents of Illinois on
14behalf of organizations that have been authorized by the

1affiliated with that plate until the plate is surrendered,
2revoked, or otherwise cancelled. The authorized organization
3may charge a fee to offset the cost of producing and
4distributing the decal, but that fee shall be retained by the
5authorized organization and shall be separate and distinct from
6any registration fees charged by the Secretary. No decal,
7sticker, or other material may be affixed to a Universal
8special license plate other than a decal authorized by the
9General Assembly in this Section or a registration renewal
10sticker. The special plates issued under this Section shall be
11affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first division,
12including motorcycles and autocycles, or motor vehicles of the
13second division weighing not more than 8,000 pounds. Plates
14issued under this Section shall expire according to the
15multi-year procedure under Section 3-414.1 of this Code.
16    (b) The design, color, and format of the Universal special
17license plate shall be wholly within the discretion of the
18Secretary. Universal special license plates are not required to
19designate "Land of Lincoln", as prescribed in subsection (b) of
20Section 3-412 of this Code. The design shall allow for the
21application of a decal to the plate. Organizations authorized
22by the General Assembly to issue decals for Universal special
23license plates shall comply with rules adopted by the Secretary
24governing the requirements for and approval of Universal
25special license plate decals. The Secretary may, in his or her
26discretion, allow Universal special license plates to be issued

23-405.1 of this Code. The Secretary of State must make a
3version of the special registration plates authorized under
4this Section in a form appropriate for motorcycles and
5autocycles.
6    (c) When authorizing a Universal special license plate, the
7General Assembly shall set forth whether an additional fee is
8to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, the
9amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. When
10necessary, the authorizing language shall create a special fund
11in the State treasury into which fees may be deposited for an
12authorized Universal special license plate. Additional fees
13may only be charged if the fee is to be paid over to a State
14agency or to a charitable entity that is in compliance with the
15registration and reporting requirements of the Charitable
16Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. Any charitable
17entity receiving fees for the sale of Universal special license
18plates shall annually provide the Secretary of State a letter
19of compliance issued by the Attorney General verifying that the
20entity is in compliance with the Charitable Trust Act and the
21Solicitation for Charity Act.

23renewal period, in addition to the appropriate registration
24fee, if applicable, the Secretary shall collect any additional
25fees, if required, for issuance of Universal special license
26plates. The fees shall be collected on behalf of the

2plate. All fees collected shall be transferred to the State
3agency on whose behalf the fees were collected, or paid into
4the special fund designated in the law authorizing the

6plates. All money in the designated fund shall be distributed
7by the Secretary subject to appropriation by the General
