Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to provide for the issuance of Universal special license plates. Provides that no further special license plates, after the creation of Universal special license plates, shall be authorized by the General Assembly unless that special license plate recognizes the applicant's military service or receipt of a military medal or award. Provides that when authorizing a Universal special license plate, the General Assembly shall set forth whether an additional fee is to be charged for the plate and, if a fee is to be charged, the amount of the fee and how the fee is to be distributed. Provides that additional fees may only be charged if the fee is to be paid over to a State agency or to a charitable entity that is in compliance with the registration and reporting requirements of the Charitable Trust Act and the Solicitation for Charity Act. Requires that upon original issuance and for each registration renewal period, in addition to the appropriate registration fee, if applicable, the Secretary shall collect any additional fees, if required, for issuance of Universal special license plates. Provides that the Secretary of State shall not issue a series of special plates, or Universal special license plates, unless applications have been received for 2,000 (rather than 10,000) plates of that series. Repeals Section allowing for issuance of Universal Charitable Organization license plates. Makes conforming changes. Effective July 1, 2016.
