The bill, introduced by Senator Johnson and co-sponsored by Senator Reineke, seeks to amend section 4501.21 and enact section 4503.947 of the Revised Code to create a new specialty license plate called the "Land of U.S. Grant." This initiative is designed to generate contributions for various charitable organizations and causes through a newly established license plate contribution fund within the state treasury. The bill outlines the registrar of motor vehicles' responsibilities in allocating these contributions to designated organizations, ensuring that funds are directed towards specific purposes such as health care, education, and support services, thereby enhancing the impact of the funds raised.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for the registration and renewal of the "Land of U.S. Grant" license plates, including the collection of various fees, such as a new administrative fee of ten dollars and a twenty-dollar contribution for each application, which will be deposited into the license plate contribution fund. The bill also repeals the existing section 4501.21, streamlining the registration process while ensuring that funds are allocated for public safety and administrative services related to these specialty plates. Overall, the legislation emphasizes the importance of using contributions for designated educational and charitable purposes while expanding vehicle registration options.
