❌ SB228
Create the Lifetown license plate
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Transportation)
Summary
The bill creates the 'Lifetown' specialty license plate in Ohio, requiring applicants to pay a regular license tax, an administrative fee, and a contribution of fifteen dollars to a designated fund. The funds collected will support Lifetown, incorporated, and its programs and activities. The registrar of motor vehicles will issue the plates upon compliance with application requirements.
Rationale
The bill involves government regulation and funding of specific charitable organizations, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free market solutions. It also imposes additional fees on vehicle registration, which contradicts the Libertarian Party's stance against taxation and government spending.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over charitable contributions
- Imposes additional fees on citizens
- Potential for misuse of funds
