A BILL
To enact sections 4501.243 and 4503.563 of the
Revised Code to create the "Ohio Nature Preserves"
license plate.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 4501.243 and 4503.563 of the Revised
Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4501.243. There is hereby created in the state treasury
the Ohio nature preserves fund. The fund shall consist of the
contributions that are paid to the registrar of motor vehicles by
applicants who obtain Ohio nature preserves license plates
pursuant to section 4503.563 of the Revised Code. All investment
earnings of the fund shall be credited to the fund.
The department of natural resources shall use the money in
the fund to help finance nature preserve education, nature
preserve clean-up projects, and nature preserve maintenance,
protection, and restoration.
Sec. 4503.563. (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 nature preserves license plates. The application
for Ohio nature preserves 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 division (B) of this section, the
registrar shall issue to the applicant the appropriate vehicle
registration and a set of Ohio nature preserves 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
thereon, Ohio nature preserves license plates shall be inscribed
with identifying words or markings designed by the department of
natural resources and approved by the registrar. Ohio nature
preserves license plates shall bear county identification stickers
that identify the county of registration by name or number.
(B) The Ohio nature preserves license plates and validation
sticker shall be issued upon receipt of a contribution as provided
in division (C) of this section and upon payment of the regular
license fees as prescribed under section 4503.04 of the Revised
Code, a bureau of motor vehicles administrative fee of ten
dollars, any applicable motor vehicle tax levied under Chapter
4504. of the Revised Code, and compliance with all other
applicable laws relating to the registration of motor vehicles. If
the application for Ohio nature preserves license plates 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 the
contribution, fees, and taxes contained in this division and the
additional fee prescribed under section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of the
Revised Code.
(C) For each application for registration and registration
renewal submitted under this section, the registrar shall collect
a contribution in an amount not to exceed forty dollars as
determined by the department. The registrar shall transmit this
contribution to the treasurer of state for deposit in the Ohio
nature preserves fund created in section 4501.243 of the Revised
Code.
The registrar shall deposit the ten-dollar bureau
administrative fee, the purpose of which is to compensate the
bureau for additional services required in issuing Ohio nature
preserves license plates, in the state bureau of motor vehicles
fund created in section 4501.25 of the Revised Code.
