Sub. H.B. 293

127th General Assembly

(S. Agriculture)

 

 

Creates "Ohio Sustainable Agriculture" license plates, requires contributions paid by persons who obtain the license plates to be deposited into the existing Agro Ohio Fund, and requires the money deposited into the Fund to be used for the benefit of sustainable agriculture markets in the state.

Decreases the threshold for the number of annual license plate registrations for all special license plates from 1,000 to 500 registrations instead of establishing, as in the House-passed version, a threshold of 500 annual registrations involving a nonstandard educational license plate whose contribution must be used for educational or scholarship purposes.

Rather than requiring the Ohio Agriculture License Plate Scholarship Fund Board to award scholarships from the Ohio Agriculture License Plate Scholarship Fund to students who are enrolled in a program of agricultural education at an Ohio institution of higher learning as provided in the House-passed version, requires the Board to award scholarships from the Fund to students who are enrolled in a program related to agriculture at an Ohio institution of higher learning.
