The bill proposes the enactment of section 4503.472 of the Revised Code to establish the "Law Enforcement Purple Heart" license plate in Ohio. This new provision allows individuals who have been awarded the law enforcement purple heart to apply for special license plates for their vehicles, including passenger cars, motorcycles, and recreational vehicles. Applicants must provide documentary evidence of their award and may also request to display the international symbol of access if they are eligible. The license plates will feature the inscription "LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPLE HEART" and will be issued without the payment of standard registration fees or local vehicle taxes.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to prevent fraudulent claims regarding the law enforcement purple heart, making it a misdemeanor for individuals to falsely represent themselves as recipients of the award for the purpose of obtaining these license plates. It also stipulates that upon the transfer of ownership of a vehicle registered under this section after the owner's death, the special plates must be replaced with standard plates. Overall, the legislation aims to honor law enforcement officers who have received this commendation while ensuring the integrity of the program.
