AN ACT
To amend section 4503.53 of the Revised Code to eliminate the
additional $10 fee that a person pays to compensate the Bureau
of Motor Vehicles for additional services when issuing
special
license plates to those who served in certain combat zones and
when renewing the registration of a motor vehicle bearing such
license plates.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio:
SECTION 1 . That section 4503.53 of the Revised Code be amended
to read as follows:
Sec. 4503.53. Any person who
served in the armed forces of the United States in Saudi
Arabia or Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield,
in Panama during the invasion, in Grenada during the invasion, in
Lebanon during the invasion, during the Vietnam conflict, during
the Korean conflict, during World War II, or during World War I,
and who is on active duty or is an honorably discharged veteran may
apply to the registrar of motor vehicles for the registration of any passenger
car, noncommercial motor vehicle, motor home, or other
vehicle of a class approved by the registrar the person owns or
leases. The application shall be accompanied by such written
evidence of the applicant's service as the registrar
requires by rule. In the case of an honorably discharged
veteran, the written evidence shall include a copy of the applicant's
DD-214 form or an equivalent document. Upon receipt of an application for registration of a motor
vehicle under this section, presentation of satisfactory evidence
of military service in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait during Operation
Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield, in Panama during the
invasion, in Grenada during the invasion, in Lebanon during the
invasion, during the Vietnam conflict, during the Korean
conflict, during World War II, or during World War I, and payment of
the regular license tax as prescribed under section 4503.04 of
the Revised Code and any applicable local tax levied under Chapter
4504. of the Revised Code, and payment of an additional fee of
ten dollars, the registrar shall issue to the applicant the
appropriate motor vehicle registration and a set of license
plates and a validation sticker, or a validation sticker alone
when required by section 4503.191 of the Revised Code. In
accordance with rules adopted by the registrar, each license
plate shall be inscribed with identifying letters or numerals and
the word "VETERAN",; in addition, each license plate
shall be
inscribed with a design and words indicating service in Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Panama, Grenada, or Lebanon, or during the
Vietnam conflict, the Korean conflict, World War II, or World War
I. The additional fee of ten dollars charged under this section
shall be for the purpose of compensating the bureau of motor
vehicles for additional services required in the issuing of
license plates under this section and shall be transmitted by the
registrar to the treasurer of state for deposit into the state
treasury to the credit of the state bureau of motor vehicles fund created by
section 4501.25 of the Revised Code. SECTION 2 . That existing section 4503.53 of the Revised Code is
hereby repealed.
