Serv. <br />On February 4, 1997 the Marion County Commission, adopted the attached resolu#W ftthe <br />purpose of seeking Legislative support to consider approving a specialty license pletodp,=Mote '/ Q— . <br />adoption of children in lieu of women terminating unwanted pregnancies. Before the <br />Department of Safety and Motor Vehicles will approve and produce a special license plate, a <br />petition of 10,000 signatures is required along with $30,000 to offset the State's cost to <br />manufacture the plates. Copies of the February 5 news article and editorial from the Ocala Star <br />Banner are enclosed which further explain the resolution. I might add that all contributions will <br />be from individuals and private entities - no government funds will be contributed. <br />I am requesting that your Board adopt a similar type resolution at your next meeting. This same <br />request is being made of all Florida counties, and I hope to receive similar resolutions from every <br />county. A packet of information, including the requested resolutions, will be submitted to the <br />Marion County Legislative Delegation within three weeks. Therefore, your favorable <br />consideration and response to the request at your earliest possible opportunity will be <br />sincerely appreciated. Please forward the signed resolutions to my attention by February 17 in <br />order for us to meet the State filing deadlin-. And thank you for your support. <br />Sincerely, <br />m Lowry, <br />County Administrator <br />Several Commissioners expressed their differing feelings on <br />the proposal for special license plates to discourage abortion of <br />unwanted pregnancies and encouraging the adoption of unwanted <br />children. <br />24 <br />February 18, 1997 <br />
