❌ SB189
Create the COSI specialty license plate
Current Status: In House Committee (Transportation)
Summary
The bill creates a specialty license plate for the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) in Ohio, requiring applicants to pay a $25 contribution for the license plate, which will be deposited into a license plate contribution fund. The funds collected will support COSI programs that inspire interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.
Rationale
The bill involves government action to create a specialty license plate and collect fees, which may conflict with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free market operations. However, it does not directly infringe on individual rights or impose significant restrictions, leading to a mixed alignment with both platforms.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased government involvement in private sector initiatives
- Creation of a precedent for more specialty license plates funded by government fees
