The bill, introduced by Representative Brennan, seeks to amend section 4501.21 and enact section 4503.966 of the Revised Code to create a new specialty license plate titled "Ohio Council of Skin and Scuba Divers, Inc." This initiative is part of a broader effort to establish specialty license plates that support various causes within the state. The bill also introduces a license plate contribution fund, which will collect contributions from motor vehicle registrants to support designated organizations and programs. The contributions will be allocated to various organizations focused on health, education, and community support, ensuring transparency and accountability in the distribution of funds.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific provisions for the allocation of contributions to educational institutions and nonprofit organizations, emphasizing the use of funds for mental and emotional well-being services for students, tuition assistance, and community programs. It mandates that contributions must not be used for political purposes or to pay salaries of district employees. The bill also includes a ten-dollar administrative fee for the issuance of the new license plates, which will support the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and it repeals the existing section 4501.21, updating the legal framework for motor vehicle registration and associated fees.
