COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio may force motorists to replace their license plates after seven years.
Currently, drivers are required to replace plates
only when the numbers and letters become unreadable. But a budget
proposal from the Department of Public Safety would require replacement
after seven years.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/XaA4ym
) reports that the same proposal would also retire all red, white and
blue bicentennial plates, along with the older gold-tinted plates, in
December.
In a letter to Gov. John Kasich (KAY-sihk), Public
Safety Director Thomas Charles said the 7-year limit on plates would
address concerns by law enforcement agencies about the difficulty of
reading rusted and faded letters and numbers.
The Department of Public Safety also is proposing a $10 fee to replace old plates.
