Create Hilliard Davidson Wildcats license plate
SB 179 creates a specialty license plate in Ohio featuring the "Hilliard Davidson Wildcats" design for motor vehicle registrants. Money collected from owners who choose this plate is directed to various organizations, including cancer research groups, special needs foundations, and universities that offer scholarships to Ohio residents. The bill also establishes specific rules for how these funds must be used, such as prohibiting certain organizations from using the money for abortion-related activities. Once passed, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles will manage the collection and distribution of these contributions to the designated entities.
