The bill raises the application requirement for issuing special plates from 2,000 to 10,000.

  • 625 ILCS 5/3-600

    the Secretary of State shall not issue a series of special plates, or Universal special plates associated with an organization authorized to issue decals for Universal special plates, unless applications, as prescribed by the Secretary, have been received for 2,000 plates of that series. → the Secretary of State shall not issue a series of special plates unless applications, as prescribed by the Secretary, have been received for 10,000 plates of that series; except that the Secretary of State may prescribe some other required number of applications if that number is sufficient to pay for the total cost of designing, manufacturing and issuing the special license plate.

    This change increases the number of applications needed before the Secretary of State can issue a special plate.

  • 625 ILCS 5/3-600

    Unless applications, as prescribed by the Secretary, have been received for 2,000 plates of that series. → Unless applications, as prescribed by the Secretary, have been received for 10,000 plates of that series; except that the Secretary of State may prescribe some other required number of applications if that number is sufficient to pay for the total cost of designing, manufacturing and issuing the special license plate.

    This modification allows for flexibility in application requirements based on cost considerations, while increasing the standard application threshold.

  • 625 ILCS 5/3-600

    Where a special plate is authorized by law to raise funds for a specific civic group, charitable entity, or other identified organization, or when the civic group, charitable entity, or organization is authorized to issue decals for Universal special license plates, and where the Secretary of State has not received the required number of applications to issue that special plate within 2 years of the effective date of the Public Act authorizing the special plate or decal, the Secretary of State's authority to issue the special plate or a Universal special plate associated with that decal is nullified. → Where a special plate is authorized by law to raise funds for a specific civic group, charitable entity, or other identified organization, and where the Secretary of State has not received the required number of applications to issue that special plate within 2 years of the effective date of the Public Act authorizing the special plate, the Secretary of State's authority to issue the special plate is nullified.

    This change simplifies the provisions concerning the nullification of the Secretary's authority to issue a special plate by removing the mention of Universal special plates.
