Bill Summary
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that, beginning with the next registration year after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the Secretary of State, upon registering a vehicle subject to annual registration for the first time, shall issue or shall cause to be issued to the owner one registration plate for a motorcycle, trailer, semitrailer, motorized pedalcycle, or truck-tractor, one registration plate for other motor vehicles, and, when applicable, current registration stickers for motor vehicles of the first division. Provides that the registration plate issued for a motor vehicle other than a motorcycle, trailer, semitrailer, truck-tractor, apportioned bus, or apportioned truck shall be attached to the rear of the vehicle.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to modify how registration plates are issued and displayed for various types of vehicles. Starting with the next registration year, the Secretary of State will now issue only one registration plate for motorcycles, trailers, semitrailers, motorized pedalcycles, and truck-tractors, and one registration plate for other motor vehicles. Specifically, for most motor vehicles (except motorcycles, trailers, semitrailers, truck-tractors, apportioned buses, and apportioned trucks), the registration plate must be attached to the rear of the vehicle. This change simplifies the plate issuance process by reducing the number of plates for many vehicle types and standardizing plate placement. The bill also updates various references in the Vehicle Code to reflect this new single-plate approach, ensuring consistency in language across different sections of the law. The changes aim to streamline vehicle registration procedures and potentially reduce costs associated with plate production and distribution.
