Bill > HB378

This bill creates a new specialty license plate for the "Blue Knights L.E.M.C." (Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club) and amends existing law regarding the license plate contribution fund. Specifically, it adds section 4503.717 to the Revised Code, which allows owners or lessees of certain vehicles to apply for "Blue Knights L.E.M.C." license plates. These plates will feature an appropriate logo and words selected by the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club and approved by the registrar of motor vehicles. To obtain these plates, applicants will pay the standard license tax, any applicable local motor vehicle taxes, an additional administrative fee of ten dollars, and a ten-dollar contribution. This ten-dollar contribution will be deposited into the license plate contribution fund, which is established in section 4501.21 of the Revised Code and distributes funds to various charitable organizations. The administrative fee will go to the public safety - highway purposes fund to cover the costs of issuing these special plates. The bill also repeals existing section 4501.21 of the Revised Code, though the context suggests this is a procedural repeal related to the amendments made.
