❌ SB91
Authorize private vendor contract for specialty license plates
Current Status: In Senate Committee (Transportation)
Summary
SB91 authorizes a contract with a private vendor for the issuance of specialty license plates in Ohio. The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code to facilitate a competitive selection process for vendors who will design and market specialty plates while ensuring that the registrar of motor vehicles remains responsible for their issuance and related tax collection.
Rationale
The bill aligns moderately with Libertarian Party principles emphasizing competition and private sector involvement, but lacks a strong emphasis on individual liberties and minimizing governmental oversight, which are central to the party's platform.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for increased costs due to vendor fees
- Concerns over data privacy with vendor involvement
- Reliability on a private entity for government functions
