Today,
the Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 339, which creates seven
new special license plates in the state, five of which are available to the
general public.
“I
think this bill pays tribute to Ohio’s spirit and heritage,” House Speaker
William G. Batchelder said. “These license plates showcase our state’s great
history, as well as recognize the countless Ohioans who admirably served our
country in uniform.”
Four
of the plates require payment of a contribution upon issuance or renewal, which
will go towards the organization that is featured on the plate. All
contributions toward the select four plates include a $15-$25 fee to the
License Plate Contribution Fund and a $10 BMV fee.
Details
of the license plates and information regarding contributions and fees are as
