AN ACT concerning transportation.

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 3-644 as follows:

| ||||
(a) The Secretary, upon receipt of an application made in | ||||
the form
prescribed by the Secretary, may issue special | ||||
registration plates designated
as Police Memorial Committee | ||||
license plates. The special plates issued under
this Section
| ||||
shall be affixed only to passenger vehicles of the first | ||||
division and motor
vehicles of the second division weighing not | ||||
more than 8,000 pounds. Plates
issued under this Section shall | ||||
expire according to the multi-year procedure
established by | ||||
Section 3-414.1 of this Code.
| ||||
(b) The design and color of the plates is wholly within the | ||||
discretion of
the Secretary. The Secretary may allow the plates | ||||
to be issued as vanity

3-405.1 of the Code. The Secretary shall
prescribe stickers or | ||||
decals as provided under Section 3-412 of this Code.

(c) An applicant for the special plate shall be charged a | ||||
$25 fee for
original issuance in addition to the appropriate |
registration fee. Of this
fee, $10 shall be deposited into the | ||
Police Memorial Committee Fund and $15
shall be deposited into | ||
the Secretary of State Special License Plate Fund, to
be used | ||
by the Secretary to help defray the administrative processing | ||
costs.
| ||
For each registration renewal period, a $25 fee, in | ||
addition to the
appropriate registration fee, shall be charged. | ||
Of this fee, $23 shall be
deposited into the Police Memorial | ||
Committee Fund and $2 shall be deposited
into the Secretary of | ||
State Special License Plate Fund.
| ||
(d) The Police Memorial Committee Fund is created as a | ||
special fund in the

Memorial Committee Fund shall be paid,
subject to appropriation | ||
by the General Assembly
and distribution by the Secretary, as | ||
grants to the Police Memorial Committee for
maintaining a | ||
memorial statue, holding an annual memorial commemoration, and
| ||
giving scholarships or grants to children and spouses of police | ||
officers killed in the line of
duty.
