To amend section 4503.571 of the Revised Code to | 1 |
create a "Purple Heart" motorcycle license plate. | 2 |
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4503.571 of the Revised Code be | 3 |
amended to read as follows: | 4 |
Sec. 4503.571. Any person who has been awarded the purple | 5 |
heart may apply to the registrar of motor vehicles for the | 6 |
registration of any passenger car, noncommercial motor vehicle, | 7 |
recreational vehicle, motorcycle, or other vehicle of a class | 8 |
approved by the registrar that the person owns or leases. The | 9 |
application shall be accompanied by such documentary evidence in | 10 |
support of the award as the registrar may require. The | 11 |
application may be combined with a request for a special reserved | 12 |
license plate under section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of the Revised | 13 |
Code. | 14 |
Upon receipt of an application for registration of a motor | 15 |
vehicle under this section and any required taxes, and upon | 16 |
presentation of the required supporting evidence of the award of | 17 |
the purple heart, the registrar shall issue to the applicant the | 18 |
appropriate motor vehicle registration and a set of license | 19 |
plates and a validation sticker, or a validation sticker alone | 20 |
when required by section 4503.191 of the Revised Code. | 21 |
In addition to the letters and numbers ordinarily inscribed | 22 |
on the license plates, the license plates shall be inscribed with | 23 |
the words "PURPLE HEART." The license plates shall bear county | 24 |
identification stickers that identify the county of registration | 25 |
by name or number. | 26 |
The license plates and validation stickers shall be issued | 27 |
without the payment of any registration fee and service fee | 28 |
required by sections 4503.04, 4503.10, and 4503.102 of the | 29 |
Revised Code, and without the payment of any local motor vehicle | 30 |
license tax levied under Chapter 4504. of the Revised Code. The | 31 |
applicant shall comply with all other applicable laws relating to | 32 |
the registration of motor vehicles. If the application is | 33 |
combined with a request for a special reserved license plate | 34 |
under section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of the Revised Code, the license | 35 |
plates and validation sticker shall be issued upon payment of | 36 |
seventy-five per cent of the additional fee prescribed under | 37 |
section 4503.40 or 4503.42 of the Revised Code. | 38 |
No person who is not a recipient of the purple heart shall | 39 |
willfully and falsely represent that the person is a recipient of | 40 |
a purple heart for the purpose of obtaining license plates under | 41 |
this section. No person shall own a motor vehicle bearing license | 42 |
plates under this section unless the person is eligible to be | 43 |
issued those license plates. | 44 |
Section 2. That existing section 4503.571 of the Revised Code | 45 |
is hereby repealed. | 46 |
