Senate approves Dublin students’ license plate idea to help food pantry

COLUMBUS – A bill the Statehouse that originated with some Dublin students who wanted to help their local food pantry has cleared the Ohio Senate.

Senate Bill 163, sponsored by Sen. Stephanie Kunze (R-Dublin), creates the Dublin City Schools license plate, which will serve to help raise funds the Dublin Food Pantry.

The legislation stemmed from the efforts of Dublin students who were interested in creating a license plate for the Dublin City Schools and Kunze’s office.

“These students showed that they are passionate, determined, and thoughtful about their ‘why’ and I am grateful to them for their passion for helping others in their community,” Kunze said.

When purchased, the Dublin City Schools license plate allocates $25 to the food pantry and $10 for the processing fees at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The measure passed unanimously and now heads to the House of Representatives.
