A BILL
To amend section 4503.19 of the Revised Code to
require a motor vehicle certificate of
registration to have a supplemental portion that
contains all the information contained in the main
portion of the certificate except for the address
of the person to whom the certificate is issued.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4503.19 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 4503.19.
(A) Upon the filing of an application for
registration and the payment of the tax for
registration, the
registrar
of motor vehicles or a deputy registrar shall determine
whether the owner
previously has
been issued license plates for
the motor vehicle
described in the application. If no license
plates previously have
been
issued to the owner for that motor
vehicle, the registrar or deputy registrar
shall assign to the
motor vehicle a distinctive number and issue
and deliver to the
owner in the manner
that the registrar may
select a certificate of
registration, in the form
that the
registrar shall
prescribe, and,
except as otherwise provided in this section, two
license plates,
duplicates of each other, and a validation
sticker, or a
validation
sticker alone, to be attached to the number plates as
provided in section
4503.191 of the Revised Code. The registrar
or
deputy registrar also shall
charge the owner any fees required
under division (C) of section 4503.10 of
the Revised Code.
Trailers, manufactured homes, mobile homes,
semitrailers, the
manufacturer thereof, the
dealer, or in transit companies therein,
shall be issued one
license plate only and one validation sticker,
or a validation sticker
alone, and the license plate and
validation sticker shall
be displayed
only on the rear of such
vehicles. A commercial tractor that
does not receive an
apportioned license plate under the
international registration
plan shall be issued two license
plates and one validation
sticker, and the
validation sticker shall be displayed on the
front of the
commercial tractor. An apportioned vehicle receiving
an
apportioned
license plate under the international registration
plan shall be
issued one license plate only and one validation
sticker, or a validation
sticker alone; the license plate shall be
displayed only on the front of
a semitractor and on the rear of
all other vehicles. School
buses shall not be issued license
plates but shall bear
identifying numbers in the manner prescribed
by section 4511.764
of the Revised Code. The certificate of
registration and license plates and
validation stickers, or
validation stickers
alone, shall be issued and delivered to the
owner in person or by
mail. Chauffeured limousines shall be
issued
license plates, a
validation sticker, and a livery sticker
as
provided in section
4503.24 of the Revised Code. In the event
of
the loss,
mutilation, or destruction of any certificate of
registration, or
of any license plates or validation stickers, or
if
the owner
chooses to replace license plates previously issued
for a motor vehicle,
or if the registration certificate and
license plates have been
impounded as
provided by division
(B)(1)
of section 4507.02 and
section
4507.16 of the Revised Code, the
owner of
a motor
vehicle, or
manufacturer or dealer, may obtain
from the
registrar, or from a
deputy registrar if authorized by
the registrar, a
duplicate
thereof or new license plates bearing a
different number, if the
registrar
considers it advisable, upon
filing an application
prescribed by the
registrar, and upon paying
a fee of one dollar
for such certificate of
registration, a fee of
two dollars for
each set of two
license plates, or one dollar for
each single
license plate or
validation sticker. In addition,
each
applicant
for a replacement
certificate of
registration,
license
plate, or
validation sticker shall pay the fees provided
in
divisions (C)
and (D) of section 4503.10 of the Revised Code.
Additionally, the registrar and each deputy registrar who
either issues license plates and a validation sticker for use on
any vehicle other than a
commercial tractor, semitrailer, or
apportioned vehicle, or who issues
a validation sticker alone for
use on such a vehicle and the owner
has changed the owner's county
of residence since the
owner last was issued county
identification
stickers, also shall issue and deliver to the
owner either one or
two county identification stickers, as appropriate,
which shall be
attached to the
license plates in a manner
prescribed by the
director of public safety. The county
identification stickers
shall identify prominently
by name or number
the county in which
the owner of the vehicle resides at the time of
registration.
(B)
A certificate of registration issued under this section
shall have attached to it a supplemental portion that contains all
the information contained in the main portion of the certificate
except for the address of the person to whom the certificate is
issued. Except as provided in this division, whenever a reference
is made in the Revised Code to a motor vehicle certificate of
registration that is issued under this section, the reference
shall be deemed to refer to either the main portion of the
certificate or the supplemental portion. If a reference is made in
the Revised Code to the seizure or surrender of a motor vehicle
certificate of registration that is issued under this section, the
reference shall be deemed to refer to both the main portion of the
certificate and the supplemental portion.
(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor
misdemeanor.
Section 2. That existing section 4503.19 of the Revised Code
is hereby repealed.
