❌ SB85
Create the Ohio NAACP license plate
Current Status: In House Committee (Transportation)
Summary
This bill creates the 'Ohio NAACP' license plate, allowing vehicle owners to apply for these plates, which will feature a logo and words approved by the Ohio NAACP. The application process includes a contribution fee, and the funds collected will support the NAACP's mission. The registrar of motor vehicles will issue the plates upon compliance with the application requirements.
Rationale
The bill involves government action to create a specialty license plate that supports a specific organization, which may conflict with the LP's principles of limited government and individual freedom. The LPO's mixed score reflects some alignment with community support but also concerns about government involvement in funding specific organizations.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for government favoritism towards specific organizations
- Increased government involvement in private matters
- Possible misallocation of funds
