HB 423 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Create "Blue Star Banner" license plate

This bill creates a new "Blue Star Banner" license plate available to the immediate family members of U.S. military personnel currently serving on active duty. Eligible applicants, who include spouses, parents, siblings, children, and grandparents, must provide proof of their relative's active service and pay a standard registration fee plus a ten-dollar administrative charge. Once approved, the registrar will issue these special plates featuring a specific logo and county identification stickers to recognize the family's connection to the armed forces. The legislation also includes a provision prohibiting individuals from falsely claiming this relationship to obtain the plates.
