CONTENT AND OPERATION
The bill creates the following new special license plates:
Under the bill, any person who is a retired veteran of the Ohio National Guard 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 the person owns or leases. The application must be accompanied by such written evidence that the applicant is a retired veteran of the Ohio National Guard as the Registrar requires by rule.
Upon receipt of an application for registration of a motor vehicle under the bill, presentation of satisfactory evidence documenting that the applicant is a retired veteran of the Ohio National Guard, and payment of the regular license fee and any applicable local motor vehicle license tax, the Registrar is required to 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 current law. In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed on license plates, the "Ohio National Guard Retired" license plates must contain one of the following inscriptions, as appropriate: "Ohio Army National Guard Retired," or "Ohio Air National Guard Retired." The license plates must bear county identification stickers that identify the county of registration by name or number. (R.C. 4503.481(A).)
Under the bill, any person who served in the armed forces of the United States as a paratrooper may apply to the Registrar for the registration of any passenger car, noncommercial motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, or other vehicle of a class approved by the Registrar the person owns or leases and for issuance of "U.S. Paratrooper" license plates. The application may be combined with a request for a special reserved license plate provided in current law. The application must be accompanied by such written evidence of the applicant's service in the United States armed forces as a paratrooper as the Registrar requires by rule, which may include requiring the submission of a copy of the applicant's DD-214 form or an equivalent document. (R.C. 4503.547(A).)
Upon receipt of a completed application for registration of a motor vehicle requesting the issuance of "U.S. Paratrooper" license plates, presentation of evidence of service in the United States armed forces as a paratrooper, and compliance with all other applicable registration provisions, the Registrar is required to issue to the applicant the appropriate motor vehicle registration and a set of "U.S. Paratrooper" license plates and a validation sticker, or a validation sticker alone when required by current law. In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed on license plates, the "U.S. Paratrooper" license plates must contain the words "U.S. Paratrooper" and an appropriate symbol approved by the Registrar. (R.C. 4503.547(A).)
"U.S. Paratrooper" license plates and validation stickers are issued upon payment of the regular license fee, payment of any applicable local motor vehicle license tax, and compliance with all other applicable laws relating to motor vehicle registration. If the application is combined with a request for a special reserved license plate, the additional fee prescribed in current law for that type of reserved license plate also must be paid. (R.C. 4503.547(A).)
Under the bill, 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 for issuance of "Support Our Troops" license plates. The application may be combined with a request for a special reserved license plate provided in current law. Upon receipt of the completed application and compliance with the bill's requirements, the Registrar is required to issue to the applicant the appropriate vehicle registration and a set of "Support Our Troops" license plates and a validation sticker or a validation sticker alone when required by current law.
In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed on the license plates, "Support Our Troops" license plates must bear an appropriate logo and the words "Support Our Troops." The Bureau of Motor Vehicles is required to design "Support Our Troops" license plates, and they must display county identification stickers that identify the county of registration by name or number. (R.C. 4503.92(A).)
"Support Our Troops" license plates and validation stickers are issued upon payment of the regular license tax as prescribed in current law, any applicable local motor vehicle license tax, any applicable additional special reserved license plate fee, an additional $10 BMV fee, and a $25 contribution; as well as compliance with all other applicable laws relating to the registration of motor vehicles (R.C. 4503.92(B)).
The Registrar must collect the $10 BMV fee and the $25 contribution for every new and renewal registration application received under the bill. The additional $10 BMV fee is to compensate the Bureau for additional services required in connection with the issuance of "Support Our Troops" license plates. The Registrar must deposit all such fees into the state treasury to the credit of the existing State Bureau of Motor Vehicles Fund. (R.C. 4503.92(C).)
The Registrar must transmit the $25 contribution to the Treasurer of State for deposit in the existing License Plate Contribution Fund for distribution to the national, nonprofit corporation Support Our Troops, Inc. The organization is required to use the money in accordance with its articles of incorporation and for the benefit of servicemembers of the United States armed forces and their families when they are in financial need. (R.C. 4501.21(B)(25) and 4503.92(C).)
Under current law, any person who is on active duty or is an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Armed Forces is eligible for special license plates in recognition of the following military service: (1) in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm or Operation Desert Shield, (2) in Panama during the invasion, (3) in Grenada during the invasion, (4) in Lebanon during the invasion, (5) during the Vietnam Conflict, (6) during the Korean Conflict, (7) during World War II, or (8) during World War I. The person 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. Written evidence of the applicant's service must accompany the application as required by the Registrar; specifically, in the case of an honorably discharged veteran, the written evidence must include a copy of the applicant's DD-214 form or an equivalent document.
Upon receipt of an application for registration, presentation of satisfactory evidence of military service in or during the specified war or conflict, payment of the regular license tax and any applicable local tax, the Registrar must issue the applicant the appropriate motor vehicle registration and a set of license plates and a validation sticker, or a validation sticker alone when so required by current law. In accordance with rules adopted by the Registrar, each license plate is inscribed with identifying letters or numerals, the word "VETERAN," and, in addition, a design and words indicating service in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Panama, Grenada, or Lebanon, or during the Vietnam Conflict, the Korean Conflict, World War II, or World War I, as applicable.
In addition to these currently available license plates, the bill establishes that any person who served in the United States Armed Forces during the Global War on Terrorism may apply for special license plates indicating that service. The license plate is issued upon proof of service and payment of the regular state and local license plate taxes and is inscribed to indicate service during the Global War on Terrorism. The bill also revises existing law so that if the applicant for a military service license plate is still on active duty, the plate is not required to bear the word "veteran." (R.C. 4503.53.)
Under the bill, any person who has been awarded the (1) Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, (2) Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, (3) Afghanistan Campaign Medal, or (4) Iraq Campaign Medal may apply to the Registrar 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 must be accompanied by such written evidence that the applicant has been awarded the specified medal as the Registrar may require. The application may be combined with a request for a special reserved license plate provided in current law.
Upon receipt of an application for registration of a motor vehicle under the bill, presentation of the required supporting evidence of the award, compliance with all registration-related laws, and payment of the regular license fee, any applicable local motor vehicle license tax, and any applicable fee for issuance of special reserved license plates, the Registrar is required to 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 current law.
In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed on license plates, the license plates must be inscribed with appropriate words indicating the applicable award and bear a reproduction of the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, or Iraq Campaign Medal, as applicable. However, the Registrar may not issue the license plates under the bill unless the Registrar first receives written permission from the United States Department of Defense allowing the Registrar to place the image of the medal on the license plates. The license plates must bear county identification stickers that identify the county of registration by name or number. (R.C. 4503.531(A).)
Under the bill, no person who is not a recipient of one of the four medals may willfully and falsely represent that the person is a recipient of any such medal for the purpose of obtaining the license plates authorized by the bill. Further, no person may own a motor vehicle bearing the service medal special license plates issued under the bill unless the person is eligible to be issued those license plates. The bill does not establish a penalty for violation of these prohibitions. (R.C. 4503.531(B).)
Under current law, certain enumerated special license plates and generally all special license plates created since October 21, 1997, are subject to a minimum registration requirement and to termination and revival procedures. For example, the Registrar is not required to implement any legislation that creates a new license plate until the Registrar receives written statements from at least 500 persons indicating that they intend to apply for and obtain the special license plate. (R.C. 4503.78, not in the bill.) If, during any calendar year, the total number of new and renewal motor vehicle registrations involving such a special license plate totals less than 500, the issuance of that special license plate may cease as of December 31 of the following year. A special license plate whose issuance is so ended may be revived if certain conditions are met. (R.C. 4503.77, not in the bill.)
The bill exempts "Ohio National Guard Retired," "U.S. Paratrooper," and the combat zone and military service special license plates discussed above from both the minimum registration requirement and the termination and revival procedures (R.C. 4503.481(B) and 4503.547(B)). This is consistent with the law's treatment of the military-related special license plates that existed at the time of enactment of the special license plate minimum requirement and the termination and revival procedures and the military-related special license plates that have been created since the enactment of those provisions.
Under the bill, the owner or lessee of any passenger car, noncommercial motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, motorcycle, or other vehicle of a class approved by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles may apply for issuance of "volunteer" license plates. The application for "volunteer" license plates may be combined with a request for a special reserved license plate under current law. Upon receipt of the completed application and compliance by the applicant with the bill's requirements, the Registrar is required to issue to the applicant the appropriate vehicle registration and a set of "volunteer" license plates with a validation sticker or a validation sticker alone when required by current law.
In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed on the license plates, "volunteer" license plates must be inscribed with words and markings designed by the Ohio Community Service Council and approved by the Registrar. "Volunteer" license plates also must display county identification stickers that identify the county of registration by name or number. (R.C. 4503.93(A).)
"Volunteer" license plates and validation stickers are to be issued upon payment of the regular license tax as prescribed in current law; any applicable local motor vehicle license tax; any applicable additional special reserved license plate fee; a Bureau of Motor Vehicles $10 administrative fee; a contribution of $15; and compliance with all other applicable laws relating to motor vehicle registration (R.C. 4503.93(B) and (C)).
The Registrar must collect the $10 BMV fee and the $15 contribution for every new and renewal registration application received under the bill. The Registrar is required to deposit the BMV fee, which is to compensate the Bureau for the additional services required in issuing "volunteer" license plates, into the existing State Bureau of Motor Vehicles Fund (R.C. 4503.93(C)(2)).
The Registrar must transmit the $15 contribution to the Treasurer of State for deposit into the existing Ohio Community Service Council Gifts and Donations Fund. The Ohio Community Service Council, which is an existing 21 member body responsible for assisting in the development of community service programs, must use the contributions (1) to support Council programs promoting volunteerism and community service in the state or (2) as matching funds for federal grants. (R.C. 121.403(B)(2) and (3) and 4503.93(C)(1).)
Under the bill, 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 for the issuance of "Fairport Harbor Breakwall Lighthouse" license plates. The application may be combined with a request for a special reserved license plate provided in current law. Upon receipt of the completed application and compliance with the bill's requirements, the Registrar is required to issue to the applicant the appropriate vehicle registration and a set of "Fairport Harbor Breakwall Lighthouse" license plates and a validation sticker or a validation sticker alone when required by current law.
In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed on the license plates, "Fairport Harbor Breakwall Lighthouse" license plates must bear identifying words or markings selected by the Fairport Lights Foundation and approved by the Registrar. The license plates must display county identification stickers that identify the county of registration by name or number. (R.C. 4503.523(A).)
"Fairport Harbor Breakwall Lighthouse" license plates and validation stickers are to be issued upon submission of a completed motor vehicle registration application and payment of the regular license tax as prescribed in current law, any applicable local motor vehicle license tax, any applicable additional special reserved license plate fee, an additional $10 BMV fee, and a $15 contribution, as well as compliance with all other applicable laws relating to motor vehicle registration (R.C. 4503.523(B)).
The Registrar must collect the $15 contribution and the $10 BMV fee for every new and renewal registration application received under the bill. Each $15 contribution must be transmitted to the Treasurer of State for deposit in the existing License Plate Contribution Fund for distribution to the Fairport Lights Foundation. The organization is required to use the money to pay for the restoration, maintenance, and preservation of the lighthouses of Fairport Harbor. (R.C. 4501.21(B)(8) and 4503.523(C).)
The additional $10 BMV fee is to compensate the Bureau for additional services required in connection with the issuance of "Fairport Harbor Breakwall Lighthouse" license plates. The Registrar must deposit all such fees into the state treasury to the credit of the existing State Bureau of Motor Vehicles Fund (R.C. 4503.523(C).)
Current
law allows a person who was a World War II prisoner of war to apply to the Registrar
for the registration of one passenger car, noncommercial motor vehicle, or
other vehicle of a class approved by the Registrar that the person owns or
leases. The application must be
accompanied by written evidence that the person was a prisoner of war, was
honorably discharged, and is eligible for the former POW license plate. The license plates are issued without payment
of any state or local registration fee or service fee. Additionally, current law allows the spouse
of a deceased former prisoner of war who has not remarried, to have a former
POW license plate if the deceased person received or was eligible to receive the
license plates. No person who is not a
former prisoner of war or spouse of a deceased former prisoner of war who has
not remarried may willfully and falsely represent that the person is such a
former prisoner of war or spouse, for the purpose of obtaining the license
plates and no person may own or lease a motor vehicle bearing former POW license
plates unless the person is eligible to be issued the license plates. Violation of these prohibitions is a fourth
degree misdemeanor.
The bill allows the spouse of a former prisoner of war to obtain the special former POW license plates on one vehicle that the former prisoner of war or the spouse owns or leases, but only one set of former POW license plates may be issued between the person who was the prisoner of war and/or the person's spouse. (R.C. 4503.46.)
Am. Sub. H.B. 406 of the 125th General
Assembly created the Pets license plate and directed that contributions for
issuance of the license plate be deposited in the License Plate Contribution
Fund for distribution to the Pets Program Funding Board, which consists of
seven members with specific qualifications who are appointed by the Ohio Pet
Fund, a nonprofit corporation. Am.
Sub. H.B. 406 required the Board to disburse money
from the Pets license plates for the purpose of supporting programs for the
sterilization of dogs and cats and educational programs concerning the proper
veterinary care of those animals. The Board
disburses money to organizations meeting eligibility requirements established
by the Ohio Pet Fund.
The bill requires that the Registrar of Motor Vehicles pay the contributions from Pets license plates to the Ohio Pet Fund, rather than to the Pets Program Funding Board, and requires that the Ohio Pet Fund distribute the money in amounts determined by the Board to organizations meeting eligibility requirements established by the Ohio Pet Fund. The bill also makes minor language revisions in the Pet license plate contribution distribution provisions. (R.C. 955.202(C) and 4501.21(B)(10).)
Under current law, the Registrar and any employee or contractor of the Bureau are permitted to disclose personal information (but not sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers) about an individual that the Bureau obtained in connection with a motor vehicle record for certain uses and in certain specified circumstances, such as for use in research activities or in producing statistical reports. The bill requires the Registrar of Motor Vehicles or a deputy registrar to ask each person who, after July 1, 2009, is applying for or renewing a special license plate and paying a contribution to an organization for issuance of the special license plate, whether the person consents to contact from the organization sponsoring the special license plate. The applicant must sign a form provided by the Registrar granting or withholding such consent to contact. Upon request from the sponsoring organization, the bill authorizes the Registrar to provide to the organization a list of the names and addresses of those applicants who have consented to contact; however, the Registrar is prohibited from disclosing sensitive personal information. (R.C. 4501.272.)
Current law permits a United States service organization that is chartered by Congress to apply to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles for issuance of a special license that covers the operation of specially equipped motor vehicles for parade and exhibition purposes. This license, which must display the voiture (car) or post number, authorizes the motor vehicle to be operated no more than 12 times per year. The annual license fee is $2. (R.C. 4503.18.)
In place of this law, the bill permits a motor vehicle that is titled in the name of a United States veterans service organization and is used solely for participation in organizational activities, exhibitions, parades, and similar purposes to be registered without the payment of any registration tax, local motor vehicle tax, or service fee. In applying for registration of such a motor vehicle, a member of the service organization must sign an affidavit, prescribed by the Registrar, stating that the vehicle is to be used solely for such purposes. The member also must present satisfactory evidence of the organization's status as a United States veterans service organization. Upon receipt of the evidence, affidavit, and registration application, the Registrar is required to issue the applicant permanent license plates for the vehicle. (R.C. 4503.18(B).)
Current law also permits the president, commander, or adjutant of a United States service organization chartered by Congress to present a paid valid current year registration and apply for an honorary license plate designating the organization with which the applicant is affiliated. This honorary license plate must be displayed in lieu of the regular license plate. The original registration card must be in the vehicle at all times and be submitted for inspection upon the demand of any police officer. The annual fee for an honorary license plate is $5. The bill provides that the organization must be a United States veterans service organization, but it does not have to be chartered by Congress. (R.C. 4503.18(C).)
The bill defines a "United States veterans service organization" as meaning any organization chartered by Congress or recognized by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for purposes of representing veterans affairs claimants (R.C. 4503.18(A)). United States veterans service organizations that are chartered by Congress include the American Legion and the Disabled American Veterans.
The bill designates 19 memorial highways. The Director of Transportation is authorized to erect suitable markers along each highway, indicating its name. The memorial highways are as follows:
Current law designates part of Interstate Route 76 as "The Military Order of the Purple Heart Memorial Highway" and the entire route as the "Purple Heart Trail."
