HB 297 amends Ohio law to increase the maximum amount a county can provide to military and veterans organizations for Memorial Day expenses. The bill raises the funding cap under Section 307.66 of the Revised Code, allowing counties to allocate more public funds toward these events.

The change is a straightforward adjustment to existing funding limits, with no new requirements or programs created.

The bill establishes the plate's name and administrative process but does not specify fees or fund allocation.

It does not create new laws or affect policy; it simply establishes an annual observance day for recognition. The bill directly affects Ohio residents by adding this day to the state's calendar of commemorative dates.
