Key to winning approval was a change in how the added money is distributed. The plan would earmark at least $20 from each plate for vocational rehabilitation programs. A plan to let motorists put NASCAR license plates on their cars zoomed out of the Illinois House. The proposal had spent the last year in the legislative repair shop after it failed to garner enough votes to move to the Senate for further debate. State Rep.
