The bill, introduced by Representatives Abrams and Ghanbari, seeks to amend section 4501.21 and enact section 4503.937 of the Revised Code to establish the "DoItForJack" specialty license plate. This initiative aims to support various charitable organizations through contributions collected from the sale of these plates, which will be directed to a newly created license plate contribution fund within the state treasury. The bill outlines the allocation of these contributions to organizations focused on health care, education, and support for individuals with specific medical conditions, ensuring that funds are used for designated purposes such as patient assistance and research funding.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the registrar to issue "DoItForJack" license plates to owners or lessees of certain vehicles, with a $20 contribution collected for each application, which will be deposited into the license plate contribution fund. An administrative fee of $10 will also be collected for processing these applications. The bill emphasizes that contributions received by various educational institutions and charitable organizations must be used exclusively for enhancing student welfare and educational outcomes, prohibiting the use of funds for political purposes or employee salaries. The existing section 4501.21 is repealed, and the amendments are harmonized for simultaneous operation.
