Create the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. license plate.
This bill creates a new specialty license plate in Ohio named "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." that drivers can purchase to show support for civil rights history. The revenue generated from sales of these plates will be deposited into a dedicated fund managed by the state registrar of motor vehicles. Money collected from this plate design will be distributed to support various causes, including civil rights education and programs honoring Dr. King's legacy, alongside other specialty plate funds that support health organizations, scholarships, and community programs. Motor vehicle registrants in Ohio who choose to purchase this plate will contribute to the fund, while the state will handle the collection and distribution of proceeds according to established procedures.
