Senator Johnson's bill proposes the establishment of the "1905 Wright Flyer III" specialty license plate, which will generate contributions directed to the Ohio war orphans and severely disabled veterans' children scholarship donation fund. The bill introduces new legal language under section 4503.4913 to facilitate the registration and issuance of these license plates, which will feature a logo approved by the Ohio history connection. Additionally, the bill mandates the collection of various fees, including a ten-dollar administrative fee and a twenty-five dollar contribution for each application, which will be deposited into the newly created license plate contribution fund. The legislation also outlines the distribution of contributions from existing specialty license plates to various charitable organizations and initiatives, ensuring that funds are used for their intended purposes, such as educational programs and support for veterans. It emphasizes transparency and accountability by requiring contributions to be deposited into separate accounts established by the respective organizations. Furthermore, the bill specifies that contributions received by school districts and private schools must be used exclusively for services aimed at enhancing students' mental and emotional well-being, while prohibiting the use of these funds for political purposes or employee salaries. The bill repeals existing sections 4501.21 and 5910.07 to streamline the legal framework surrounding these provisions.
