Summary
The House Transportation Committee adopted an amendment to HB378 to add a $10 contribution to a Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club specialty license plate and reported the bill favorably by unanimous vote, sending it to the next stage in the process.
The Ohio House Transportation Committee on March 10 adopted an amendment and unanimously reported House Bill 378, which would create a Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club specialty license plate.
The amendment (AM1361233) – moved by Vice Chair Daniels and read into the record by the committee – would add a $10 contribution tied to the plate and require that the contribution be paid to the Blue Knights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club for use in furthering the group’s mission. “This amendment will add a $10 contribution for the blue nights, LEMC license plate, and it requires the contribution to be paid to the blue nights International Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club,” the vice chair explained during the hearing.
The committee adopted the amendment without objection and then moved to report the amended bill favorably. The clerk called the roll; members voting yes included the chair, the vice chair, the ranking member and several representatives, and the committee recorded unanimous passage. Chair Willis asked members to sign the report as it goes around and noted the rule will remain open until 5 p.m. for those who cannot sign immediately.
The amendment also directed the legislative staff to harmonize the bill text. No additional public testimony was recorded after the amendment discussion, and the committee concluded the bill’s second hearing with a favorable recommendation.
The bill will proceed according to the normal legislative process with the committee’s report sent to the next chamber or calendar for further action.
