AI Summary
This bill, known as the Ohio Veterans' Heritage Protection Act, prohibits the sale, disposal, destruction, relocation, removal, alteration, or disturbance of war relics located on public property or on the property of a cemetery association, except under certain circumstances. The bill defines "war relic" as a cannon, artillery, statue, monument, memorial, or plaque related to a war or an individual's or group's service in a war. The bill imposes fines on those who violate these provisions, with the revenue used for the maintenance, repair, installation, or restoration of veterans' memorials and to support congressionally chartered veterans' services organizations. The bill also allows the return of war relics to the federal government or their transfer to the Ohio History Connection or the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Department of Ohio, if the federal government or Ohio History Connection do not accept them.
