Revised Code, and any fees paid to the council for conferences,
meetings, or events sponsored by the council shall be deposited
into the Ohio community service council gifts and donations fund,
which is hereby created in the state treasury. Moneys in the fund
may be used only as follows:
(1) To pay operating expenses of the council, including
payroll, personal services, maintenance, equipment, and subsidy
payments;
(2) To support council programs promoting volunteerism and
community service in the state;
(3) As matching funds for federal grants.
Sec. 4503.93. (A) The owner or lessee of any passenger car,
noncommercial motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, or other
vehicle of a class approved by the registrar of motor vehicles may
apply to the registrar for the registration of the vehicle and
issuance of Ohio "volunteer" license plates. The application for
Ohio "volunteer" license plates may be combined with a request for
a special reserved license plate under section 4503.40 or 4503.42
of the Revised Code. Upon receipt of the completed application and
compliance with divisions (B) and (C) of this section, the
registrar shall issue to the applicant the appropriate vehicle
registration and a set of Ohio "volunteer" license plates with a
validation sticker or a validation sticker alone when required by
section 4503.191 of the Revised Code.
In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed
on license plates, Ohio "volunteer" license plates shall be
inscribed with words and markings designed by the Ohio community
service council created by section 121.40 of the Revised Code and
approved by the registrar. Ohio "volunteer" license plates shall
bear county identification stickers that identify the county of
registration by name or number.
(B) Ohio "volunteer" license plates and a validation sticker,
or a validation sticker alone, shall be issued upon receipt of a
contribution as provided in division (C) of this section and upon
payment of the regular license tax prescribed in section 4503.04
of the Revised Code, any applicable motor vehicle tax levied under
Chapter 4504. of the Revised Code, any applicable additional fee
prescribed by section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of the Revised Code, a
bureau of motor vehicles fee of ten dollars, and compliance with
all other applicable laws relating to the registration of motor
vehicles.
(C)(1) For each application for registration and registration
renewal received under this section, the registrar shall collect a
contribution of fifteen dollars. The registrar shall transmit this
contribution to the treasurer of state for deposit in the Ohio
community service council gifts and donations fund created by
section 121.403 of the Revised Code. The council shall use all
such contributions for the purposes described in divisions (B)(2)
and (3) of that section.
(2) The registrar shall deposit the bureau of motor vehicles
fee of ten dollars specified in division (B) of this section,
which is for the purpose of compensating the bureau for the
additional services required in issuing Ohio "volunteer" license
plates, in the state bureau of motor vehicles fund created in
section 4501.25 of the Revised Code.
Section 2. That existing section 121.403 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
