Bill > SB1160

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to expand eligibility for United Nations Protection Force (UNPF) license plates to include residents who served in Somalia, Panama, and Grenada, in addition to the existing provision for those who served in Yugoslavia. The special license plates can be issued for passenger vehicles, motorcycles, autocycles, and certain motor vehicles weighing up to 8,000 pounds. The Secretary of State has discretion over the plate design and can offer these as standard or personalized vanity plates. Applicants will be charged a $15 fee for initial issuance and a $2 renewal fee, with these fees being deposited into the Secretary of State Special License Plate Fund. The plates will follow the state's standard multi-year registration expiration procedure, providing a way to recognize and honor veterans who served in UN peacekeeping missions in these specific countries.
