The bill introduced by Representative Johnson seeks to amend section 4501.21 and enact section 4503.739 of the Revised Code to create a new specialty license plate called the "Chillicothe Paints." This initiative is designed to generate contributions for charitable causes through a license plate contribution fund established within the state treasury. The registrar of motor vehicles will be responsible for distributing these funds to various organizations focused on health care, education, and community support, ensuring that the contributions are used exclusively for their intended charitable purposes.

Additionally, the bill outlines the application process for obtaining the "Chillicothe Paints" license plates, which will feature a logo approved by representatives of the Chillicothe Paints. It mandates the payment of a ten-dollar administrative fee for each registration and renewal application, which will be allocated to the public safety - highway purposes fund. The bill also includes a repeal of the existing section 4501.21, indicating a significant change in the management of funds related to license plate contributions. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance community welfare through targeted contributions while maintaining strict guidelines on fund usage.
