State Senator Stephanie Kunze | The Ohio Senate
The Ohio Senate has approved Senate Bill 290, which introduces a new license plate dedicated to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. State Senator Stephanie Kunze, a Republican from Dublin, has been a strong advocate for this initiative. The bill aims to raise awareness about child literacy through the special license plate.
"Readers are leaders," Kunze stated. "The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is a wonderful program that I have supported for years. This legislation brings awareness to child literacy, and I am grateful to Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio for bringing this bill to committee. I look forward to seeing these plates on vehicles across the Buckeye State in the future."
Purchasing this license plate will contribute $25 to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Ohio, which helps distribute books to enrolled children in the state. An additional $10 will cover processing fees at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
The program is available at no cost to families with children aged zero to five in Ohio. Once enrolled, each child receives a book delivered monthly to their home.
The bill will now proceed to the Ohio House for further consideration.
