 7        Sec.   3-412.  Registration   plates   and   registration
 8    stickers to be furnished by the Secretary of State.
 9        (a)  The Secretary of State upon  registering  a  vehicle
10    subject  to  annual  registration  for  the first time  shall
11    issue  or  shall  cause  to  be  issued  to  the  owner   one

29    it  is  issued,  the  name  of  this  State,  which  may   be

12    prescribe  and  shall  be  of  a  contrasting  color with the
13    registration plates and registration stickers of the previous

 9    and  private  ambulance  registration  plates identifying the
10    vehicle as an ambulance.  The Secretary shall forward to  the
11    Department  of  Public  Aid  registration information for the
12    purpose of verification of claims filed with  the  Department
