A BILL
To enact sections 4503.548 and 4503.549 of the
Revised Code to
create the Vietnam Combat
Infantry and Combat Medic license plates.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 4503.548 and 4503.549 of the Revised
Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4503.548. (A) Any person who served in the armed forces
of the United States during the Vietnam conflict and was awarded
the combat
infantryman badge may apply to the registrar of motor
vehicles for
the registration of any passenger car, noncommercial
motor
vehicle, recreational vehicle, or other vehicle of a class
approved by the registrar that the person owns or leases. The
application shall be accompanied by such documentary evidence in
support of the award as the registrar may require. The application
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 an application for registration of a motor
vehicle under this section and the required taxes and fees, and
upon presentation of the required supporting evidence of service
during the Vietnam conflict and the award
of the combat
infantryman badge, 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 addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed
on license plates, the license plates shall be inscribed with the
words "combat infantry" and bear a reproduction of the
combat
infantryman badge above the word "Vietnam." The license plates
shall bear county
identification stickers that identify the
county of registration
by name or number.
The license plates and a validation sticker or, when
applicable, a validation sticker alone shall be issued upon
payment of the regular license tax required by section 4503.04 of
the Revised Code, payment of any local motor vehicle license tax
levied under Chapter 4504. of the Revised Code, payment of any
applicable additional fee prescribed by section 4503.40 or 4503.42
of the Revised Code, and compliance with all other applicable laws
relating to the registration of motor vehicles.
(B) No person who did not serve during the Vietnam conflict
or is not a recipient of the combat
infantryman badge shall
willfully and falsely represent that the
person had such service
or is a recipient of the combat infantryman badge for the
purpose
of obtaining license plates under this section. No person
shall
own a motor vehicle bearing license plates issued under this
section unless the person is eligible to be issued those license
plates.
(C) Sections 4503.77 and 4503.78 of the Revised Code do not
apply to license plates issued under this section.

approved by the registrar that the person owns or leases. The
application shall be accompanied by such documentary evidence in
support of the award as the registrar may require. The application
