The fee shall be deposited into the public safety - highway purposes fund established in section4501.06of 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.
