House panel hears sponsor testimony for Ironton Fighting Tigers specialty license plate
Summary
Representative Stevens presented sponsor testimony for House Bill 310, which would create an 'Ironton Fighting Tigers' specialty license plate to celebrate local high-school football traditions and support students; the bill received its first hearing but no committee action.
Representative Stevens told the House Transportation Committee on June 10 that House Bill 310 would create an Ironton Fighting Tigers specialty license plate to honor the Ironton community and its century-long football traditions.
Stevens recounted local history, including the Ironton Tanks and Tanks Memorial Stadium, and said the plate would celebrate a program that has produced state championships and decades of postseason appearances. He argued the plate would recognize community pride and "create much needed opportunities to help current graduates and athletes succeed into the future." The sponsor answered questions and offered historical details connecting early semi-pro teams in Ironton to the present-day Detroit Lions.
No other proponents asked to testify and the committee took no formal action; the bill stood as a first hearing.
