❌ SB212
Create Play Golf Ohio license plate
Summary
The bill creates a 'Play Golf Ohio' specialty license plate, allowing vehicle owners to apply for registration and issuance of these plates. A contribution of $25 is required for each application, which will be deposited into a license plate contribution fund to support golf promotion in Ohio. The bill also includes provisions for the collection of regular vehicle registration fees and an administrative fee.
Rationale
The bill involves government action to create a specialty license plate and requires contributions from vehicle owners, which may conflict with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free markets. Both LP and LPO platforms emphasize limited government roles and individual freedoms, which this bill does not fully support.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government involvement in personal choices
- Potential for misuse of funds collected through contributions
- Encouragement of government-sponsored initiatives over private sector solutions
