Bill > HB805

This bill establishes a new specialty license plate for "Paul Laurence Dunbar High School" and amends existing law regarding the license plate contribution fund. Specifically, it adds section 4503.938 to the Revised Code, which allows owners or lessees of certain vehicles to apply for these special plates. The plates will feature an appropriate logo and words selected by representatives of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School and approved by the registrar of motor vehicles. To obtain these plates, applicants will pay the standard license tax, any applicable additional fees, a ten-dollar administrative fee to cover the costs of issuing the plates, and a twenty-dollar contribution. This twenty-dollar contribution will be deposited into the license plate contribution fund, which is managed by the registrar of motor vehicles and distributes funds to various charitable organizations as outlined in section 4501.21 of the Revised Code. The bill also repeals existing section 4501.21, implying that the new section 4503.938 will govern the distribution of funds collected for the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School license plate.
