A BILL
To enact section 4503.549 of the Revised Code to
create the "Combat Action Ribbon" license plate.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4503.549 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4503.549. (A) Any person who has been awarded the combat
action ribbon 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 the award
of the combat action ribbon, 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 action ribbon" and bear a reproduction of the combat
action ribbon. 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 is not a recipient of the combat action
ribbon shall willfully and falsely represent that the person is a
recipient of the combat action ribbon 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.
