THIS NOTICE AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THIS SETTLEMENT WEBSITE CAREFULLY.

Jack Kacin has sued the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (“BMV”) and has alleged that BMV violated Ohio law when it collected fees paid to Deputy Registrars by veterans who purchased Specialty Military License Plates on or after October 17, 2019 if those veterans were entitled to receive a Specialty Military License Plate for which registration taxes and fees should have been waived because they had been determined to have a 100% service-connected disability when they made the purchase. BMV denies all these claims.
The Parties in the Litigation have negotiated a Settlement Agreement to resolve the Litigation.
The Court concluded that the Settlement Agreement falls within the range of possible approval and therefore has conditionally approved a settlement. Accordingly, the Court has authorized the dissemination of notice to each Settlement Class member.
The Court has not found that BMV did anything wrong. It has certified a Settlement Class for settlement purposes.
Your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now.
