§ 1547.56.
All applications for a registration certificate filed with the chief of the division
of parks and watercraft shall bear a notation as to water principally used by the
watercraft. The division of wildlife, conservancy districts, and other political subdivisions
having impounded bodies of water upon which boating is permitted and authorized shall
file annually with the chief an application for refund. The chief shall annually reimburse the division of wildlife, conservancy districts,
and such other political subdivisions which have made proper application, in the amount
of money collected by the chief as fees for the issuance of registration certificates
commensurate with the number of watercraft having designated the waters of the division,
conservancy district, or political subdivision as the water principally used. The amounts so refunded shall not be less than ninety per cent of the amounts separately
collected by the division of wildlife, conservancy districts, and other political
subdivisions, in the calendar year 1959, for watercraft license fees so long as the
total revenue received by the division of parks and watercraft in each succeeding
license year thereafter is equal to, or in excess of, the total revenue derived by
all state departments, conservancy districts, and political subdivisions of this state,
requiring licenses, and received by them in the calendar year 1959. The chief shall first deduct from the amount to be refunded the applicable pro rata
share of all costs of operation of the division of watercraft determined by the ratio
between the amount to be so refunded and the total fees received by the division for
issuances of registration certificates. On all applications which have designated water other than those specified above
as water principally used, the chief shall pay the fees received from the applications
to the waterways safety fund established in section 1547.75 of the Revised Code .
