❌ HB555
Create Ohio Council of Skin and Scuba Divers, Inc. license plate
Summary
The bill creates a specialty license plate for the Ohio Council of Skin and Scuba Divers, Inc., allowing vehicle owners to apply for these plates. A contribution of ten dollars is required for each application, which will be deposited into a license plate contribution fund to support the organization's scholarships, outreach, and educational activities.
Rationale
The bill involves government involvement in the creation of a specialty license plate and requires contributions from vehicle owners, which may be seen as a form of taxation or government intervention. This conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government and free markets. However, it does not directly infringe on personal liberties or rights, resulting in a mixed alignment score.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government control over personal choices regarding vehicle registration.
- Encourages a precedent for more specialty license plates, which could lead to further government involvement.
