Ohio HB632 allows Gold Star Family members to display the Gold Star Family symbol on their driver's licenses and ID cards.

Ohio HB632 amends the state's Revised Code to allow Gold Star Family members to display the Gold Star Family symbol on their driver's licenses and ID cards. The bill defines "Gold Star Family member" as any member of the immediate family of a person who died in a combat zone while a member of the armed forces of the United States. The symbol consists of a folded military burial flag with golden stars and the words "Gold Star Family." The bill requires the registrar of motor vehicles to offer the opportunity for applicants to specify if they wish to indicate their Gold Star Family status on.
