31        Sec.   3-412.  Registration   plates   and   registration
32    stickers to be furnished by the Secretary of State.
33        (a)  The  Secretary  of  State upon registering a vehicle
                            -11-          SRS90SB0030AKcham02
 1    subject to annual registration  for  the  first  time   shall
 2    issue   or  shall  cause  to  be  issued  to  the  owner  one
 3    registration plate for a  motorcycle,  trailer,  semitrailer,
 4    motorized  pedalcycle or truck-tractor, 2 registration plates
 5    for other  motor  vehicles  and,  where  applicable,  current
 6    registration   stickers  for  motor  vehicles  of  the  first
 7    division.   The  provisions  of  this  Section  may  be  made
 8    applicable to such vehicles of the second  division,  as  the
 9    Secretary  of State may, from time to time, in his discretion
10    designate. On subsequent annual registrations during the term
11    of the registration plate as provided in Section 3-414.1, the
12    Secretary shall issue or  cause  to  be  issued  registration
13    stickers  as  evidence  of current registration. However, the
14    issuance  of  annual  registration   stickers   to   vehicles
15    registered  under  the  provisions of Section 3-402.1 of this
16    Code may not be required if the Secretary deems the  issuance
17    unnecessary.
18        (b)  Every  registration  plate shall have displayed upon
19    it the registration number assigned to the vehicle for  which
20    it   is  issued,  the  name  of  this  State,  which  may  be
21    abbreviated, the year number for which it was  issued,  which
22    may  be  abbreviated, the phrase "Land of Lincoln", except as
23    provided in Sections  3-626,  Section  3-629,  3-633,  3-634,
24    3-637, and 3-638 and Section 3-631, and such other letters or
25    numbers  as  the  Secretary  may  prescribe.    However,  for
26    apportionment  plates  issued  to  vehicles  registered under
27    Section 3-402.1, the phrase "Land of Lincoln" may be  omitted
28    to  allow  for  the  word "apportioned" to be displayed.  The
29    Secretary may in his discretion  prescribe  that  letters  be
30    used  as  prefixes  only  on  registration  plates  issued to
31    vehicles of the first division  which  are  registered  under
32    this  Code and only as suffixes on registration plates issued
33    to other vehicles.   Every  registration  sticker  issued  as
34    evidence  of  current  registration  shall designate the year
                            -12-          SRS90SB0030AKcham02
 1    number for which it is  issued  and  such  other  letters  or
 2    numbers  as  the  Secretary  may  prescribe and shall be of a
 3    contrasting  color   with   the   registration   plates   and
 4    registration stickers of the previous year.
 5        (c)  Each registration plate and the required letters and
 6    numerals  thereon,  except  the year number for which issued,
 7    shall be of sufficient size to be  plainly  readable  from  a
 8    distance  of  100  feet  during daylight, and shall be coated
 9    with reflectorizing material.  The dimensions  of  the  plate
10    issued  to  vehicles  of  the first division shall be 6 by 12
11    inches.
12        (d)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  for   every
13    passenger motor vehicle rented without a driver the same type
14    of  registration  plates  as  the type of plates issued for a
15    private passenger vehicle.
16        (e)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  for   every
17    passenger  car  used  as  a  taxicab  or  livery, distinctive

19        (f)  The  Secretary  of  State  shall  issue  for   every
20    motorcycle  distinctive  registration  plates  distinguishing
21    between  motorcycles  having  150  or  more cubic centimeters
22    piston displacement, or having less than 150 cubic centimeter
23    piston displacement.
24        (g)  Registration plates issued to vehicles for-hire  may
25    display  a  designation  as  determined by the Secretary that
26    such vehicles are for-hire.
27        (h)  The Secretary of State shall issue for each electric
28    vehicle   distinctive   registration   plates   which   shall
29    distinguish  between  electric  vehicles  having  a   maximum
30    operating speed of 45 miles per hour or more and those having
31    a maximum operating speed of less than 45 miles per hour.
32        (i)  The  Secretary of State shall issue for every public
33    and private ambulance  registration  plates  identifying  the
34    vehicle  as an ambulance.  The Secretary shall forward to the
                            -13-          SRS90SB0030AKcham02
 1    Department of Public Aid  registration  information  for  the
 2    purpose  of  verification of claims filed with the Department
 3    by ambulance  owners  for  payment  for  services  to  public
 4    assistance recipients.
 5        (j)  The  Secretary of State shall issue for every public
 6    and  private  medical  carrier  or  rescue   vehicle   livery
 7    registration  plates  displaying  numbers  within  ranges  of
 8    numbers reserved respectively for medical carriers and rescue

13    to public assistance recipients.

15    begin to replace multi-year registration plates issued  under
16    Section  3-414.1  After  completion of the replacement of the
17    multi-year  registration  plates  beginning  in   1999,   the
18    Secretary  of  State  shall,  in  the  Secretary  of  State's

20    plates issued under Section 3-414.
