on the public roads and highways as follows: (1) For club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and similar uses; (2) To and from a location where maintenance is performed on the replica motor vehicle. (B) In lieu of the annual license tax levied in sections 4503.02 and 4503.04 of the Revised Code , the registrar of motor vehicles or a deputy registrar shall collect a license fee

of ten dollars for the registration of a replica motor vehicle under this section.  The fee shall be deposited into the public safety - highway purposes fund established

in section 4501.06 of the Revised Code . (C) A person who owns a replica motor vehicle and applies for registration and a replica

license plate under this section shall execute an affidavit that the replica motor

vehicle for which the plate is requested is owned and operated solely for the purposes

enumerated in division (A) of this section.  The affidavit also shall set forth that the replica motor vehicle has been inspected

and found safe to operate on the public roads and highways in the state.  No registration issued pursuant to this section need specify the weight of the replica

motor vehicle. (D) The owner of a replica motor vehicle registered under this section shall display

in plain view on the rear of the replica motor vehicle a replica license plate issued

by the registrar.  A replica license plate shall not display a date, but shall display the inscription

“Replica Motor Vehicle--Ohio” and the registration number assigned to that replica

motor vehicle. (E) A replica license plate is valid without renewal as long as the replica motor vehicle

for which it was issued or procured is in existence.  A replica license plate is issued for the owner's use only for such replica motor

vehicle unless later transferred to another replica motor vehicle owned by that person.  In order to effect such a transfer, the owner of the replica motor vehicle that

originally displayed the replica license plate shall comply with division (C) of this

section.  In the event of a transfer of title, the transferor shall surrender the replica

license plate or transfer it to another replica motor vehicle owned by the transferor.  The registrar may revoke any replica license plate issued under this section, for

cause shown and after a hearing, for failure of the applicant to comply with this

section.  Upon revocation, a replica license plate shall be surrendered.
