OH HB527

Creates a new "Shriners" specialty license plate in Ohio, with logos and words selected by representatives of the Antioch shrine foundation in Dayton and approved by the registrar.

Vehicle owners can apply for Shriners plates upon payment of regular license tax plus a $10 administrative fee and a $15 contribution to the license plate contribution fund.

The $15 contribution per application and renewal is deposited into the license plate contribution fund, which distributes money to dozens of charitable organizations, educational institutions, and community groups specified in the law.

The $10 administrative fee is deposited into the public safety-highway purposes fund to compensate the bureau of motor vehicles for additional services required to issue the specialty plates.

Amends section 4501.21 and enacts section 4503.704 of the Revised Code to establish the framework for the Shriners license plate program and fund distribution.
