Romanchuk Celebrates Passage of Law Enforcement Purple Heart License Plate

COLUMBUS—The Ohio Senate passed Senate Bill 229, sponsored by State Senator Mark Romanchuk (R-Ontario), which creates the Law Enforcement Purple Heart license plate.

"It is my honor to recognize those who courageously protect and serve our communities," said Romanchuk. "This bill acknowledges the sacrifice and commitment of Ohio's law enforcement officers who are injured in the line of duty. I'm proud to see this legislation honor the men and women who bravely serve the citizens of Ohio."

Senate Bill 229 allows any individual awarded the Law Enforcement Purple Heart to apply for this specialty license plate in the State of Ohio. The Law Enforcement Purple Heart is issued to officers who are injured or disabled in the line of duty. The bill ensures that officers who sustain injuries in the line of duty and receive the Law Enforcement Purple Heart from an organization or local police department are recognized for their dedication.
