HB 389: Eliminate additional registration fee for hybrid motor vehicles

HB 389 eliminates an extra registration fee currently charged for hybrid motor vehicles in Ohio. It directly affects owners of hybrid cars and light trucks who would no longer pay this additional cost on top of standard vehicle registration. The bill amends specific sections of Ohio's Revised Code to remove this fee requirement from the registration process. This change simplifies registration costs for hybrid vehicle owners without altering other registration rules.
