Create the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School license plate
This bill creates a specialty license plate in Ohio named after Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, allowing vehicle owners to purchase the plate and contribute funds to a designated state fund. The money collected from these license plate sales will be deposited into the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School license plate contribution fund, which is managed by the state registrar of motor vehicles. The bill amends existing Ohio Revised Code sections to establish this new plate and fund, following the same process used for other specialty plates that support various causes. Ohio residents who wish to support Paul Laurence Dunbar High School can purchase the plate, and the funds will be used for the school's benefit as determined by the fund's management.
