A BILL
To enact section 4503.513 of the Revised Code to
create "Historically Black Fraternity-Sorority"
license plates.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4503.513 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4503.513. (A) The owner or lessee of any passenger car,
noncommercial motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, or vehicle of a
class approved by the registrar of motor vehicles, who is a member
of a historically black fraternity or sorority, may apply to the
registrar for the registration of the vehicle and issuance of
"historically black fraternity-sorority" license plates bearing
the name or Greek letters of the historically black fraternity or
sorority of which the applicant is a member. The request for a
"historically black fraternity-sorority" license plate 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, proof of membership in a historically
black fraternity or sorority as required by the registrar, and
compliance with division (B) of this section, the registrar shall
issue to the applicant appropriate vehicle registration and the
particular "historically black fraternity-sorority" license plates
indicating the fraternity or sorority of which the applicant is a
member, 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
thereon, each "historically black fraternity-sorority" license
plate shall be inscribed with the name of a historically black
fraternity or sorority or the Greek letters of the fraternity or
sorority, or both. The registrar shall approve the design of each
"historically black fraternity-sorority" license plate, and the
license plates shall bear county identification stickers that
identify the county of registration by name or number.
(B) The "historically black fraternity-sorority" license
plates and validation sticker shall be issued upon payment of the
regular license tax as prescribed under 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, and
an additional fee of ten dollars, and compliance with all other
applicable laws relating to the registration of motor vehicles.
(C) The additional fee of ten dollars specified in division
(B) of this section is to compensate the bureau of motor vehicles
for additional services required in the issuing of "historically
black fraternity-sorority" license plates. The registrar shall
deposit this additional fee into the state treasury to the credit
of the state bureau of motor vehicles fund created in section
4501.25 of the Revised Code.
(D) Sections 4503.77 and 4503.78 of the Revised Code do not
apply to license plates issued under this section.
(E) As used in this section, "historically black fraternity
or sorority" means the alpha kappa alpha sorority, inc., alpha phi
alpha fraternity, inc., delta sigma theta sorority, inc., zeta phi
beta sorority, inc., iota phi theta fraternity, inc., kappa alpha
psi fraternity, inc., sigma gamma rho sorority, inc., phi beta
sigma fraternity, inc., and omega psi phi fraternity, inc., each
