A BILL
To amend section 4503.571 of the Revised Code to
create a "Purple Heart" motorcycle license plate.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4503.571 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 4503.571. Any person who has been awarded the purple
heart may apply to the registrar of motor vehicles for the
registration of any passenger car, noncommercial motor vehicle,
recreational vehicle, motorcycle, 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 any required taxes,
and
upon
presentation of the required supporting evidence of the
award of
the purple
heart, 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 the license plates, the
license plates shall be inscribed with
the words "PURPLE HEART." The
license plates shall bear county
identification stickers that identify the
county of registration
by name or number.
The license plates and validation stickers shall be issued
without the payment of any registration
fee and service fee
required by sections 4503.04, 4503.10,
and 4503.102 of the
Revised Code, and without the payment
of any
local motor vehicle
license tax levied under Chapter 4504. of the
Revised Code. The
applicant shall comply with
all
other applicable laws relating to
the registration of motor
vehicles. If
the application is
combined with a request for a
special reserved license
plate
under section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of
the Revised Code, the license
plates
and validation sticker shall
be issued upon payment of
seventy-five per cent of the additional fee prescribed
under
section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of the Revised Code.
No person who is not a recipient of the purple heart shall
willfully and falsely represent that the person is a recipient of
a
purple heart for the purpose of obtaining license plates under
this section. No person shall own a motor vehicle bearing
license
plates under this section unless the person is eligible
to be
issued those license plates.
Section 2. That existing section 4503.571 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
