The bill, introduced by Senator Schaffer, seeks to amend section 4501.21 and enact section 4503.912 of the Revised Code to establish a new specialty license plate called the "American Motorcyclist Association" license plate. This initiative is part of a broader effort to create various specialty license plates that support different causes and organizations through contributions collected by the registrar of motor vehicles. The bill also outlines the distribution of contributions from these plates to specific funds and organizations, ensuring that the funds are used for their intended purposes, such as supporting health, education, and community initiatives.

In addition to the new license plate provisions, the bill establishes a special bank account for the state chapter of Ducks Unlimited, Inc., and mandates the allocation of contributions to various educational institutions and organizations for services aimed at enhancing students' mental and emotional well-being. The contributions are designated for specific uses, including bereavement counseling and sensitivity training, while explicitly prohibiting the use of funds for political purposes or employee salaries. The bill also includes provisions for the issuance of the new license plates, requiring a contribution and administrative fee, and repeals the existing section 4501.21 to harmonize amendments from previous legislation.
