AN ACT to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
Section 3-806.4.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
changing Section 3-806.4 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/3-806.4) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-806.4)
Sec. 3-806.4. Gold Star recipients. Commencing with the
1991 registration year, upon proper application, the
Secretary of State shall issue one pair of registration
plates to any Illinois resident, who as the surviving widow
or widower, or in the absence thereof, as the surviving
parent, is awarded the Gold Star by the United States in
recognition of spouses or children who served in the Armed
Forces of the United States and lost their lives while in
service whether in peacetime or war. If the parent no longer
survives, the Secretary of State shall issue the plates to a
surviving sibling, of the person who served in the Armed
Forces, who is an Illinois resident. No more than one set of
plates shall be issued for each Gold Star awarded, and only
one surviving parent, or in the absence of a surviving
parent, only one surviving sibling shall be issued a set of
registration plates, except for those surviving parents who,
as recipients of the Gold Star, have legally separated or
divorced, in which case each surviving parent shall be
allowed one set of registration plates. Registration plates
issued under this Section shall be for first division
vehicles and second division vehicles of 8,000 pounds or
less. An applicant shall be charged a $15 fee for the
original issuance in addition to the appropriate registration
fee which shall be deposited into the Road Fund to help
defray the administrative processing costs. For each
registration renewal period, a $2 fee, in addition to the
appropriate registration fee, shall be charged and
deposited into the Road Fund.
