Bill > SB2354

This bill modifies the Illinois Vehicle Code by repealing several sections related to special registration plates for current and retired members of the General Assembly, Congress, and executive branch officers. Specifically, the bill removes language that previously allowed special license plates for retired members of Congress and the General Assembly. The changes impact how vanity and personalized license plates can be issued, eliminating specific provisions that previously granted special plate privileges to certain government officials. The bill maintains the existing rules for vanity and personalized license plates, which allow vehicle owners to request custom plate combinations containing letters and numbers, subject to approval by the Secretary of State. These plates can be issued for various types of vehicles including passenger vehicles, vehicles weighing up to 8,000 pounds, trailers, funeral home vehicles, electric vehicles, and recreational vehicles. The modifications appear to standardize license plate regulations by removing special exemptions for government officials, ensuring that all vehicle owners follow the same process for obtaining personalized or vanity license plates.
