The bill, introduced by Representatives Salvo and Kishman, seeks to amend section 4501.21 and enact section 4503.727 of the Revised Code to create the "Save22" license plate in Ohio. This new license plate will generate contributions from motor vehicle registrants, which will be directed to a license plate contribution fund. The bill outlines the allocation of these contributions to various organizations and causes, including breast cancer support, autism awareness, and mental health initiatives. Additionally, it specifies that contributions collected under different sections of the Revised Code will be used for designated purposes such as educational programs, health care support, and charitable activities.

Moreover, the bill establishes provisions for the issuance of the "Save22" license plates, requiring a contribution of twenty-two dollars for each application, along with a ten-dollar administrative fee for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. It also mandates that contributions received by educational institutions and charitable organizations must be used for specific purposes, including tuition assistance and mental health services for students. The bill repeals the existing section 4501.21 and presents a composite version to harmonize previous amendments, ensuring clarity and consistency in the law.
