(A) Not later than December 31, 2009, the Ohio turnpike commission shall establish a program for the placement of business logos for identification purposes on directional signs within the turnpike right-of-way.

(B)(1) The commission shall establish, and may revise at any time, a fee for participation in the business logo sign program. All direct and indirect costs of the business logo sign program established pursuant to this section shall be fully paid by the businesses applying for participation in the program. The direct and indirect costs of the program shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of capital, directional signs, blanks, posts, logos, installation, repair, engineering, design, insurance, removal, replacement, and administration.

(2) Money generated from participating businesses in excess of the direct and indirect costs and any reasonable profit earned by a person awarded a contract under division (C) of this section shall be remitted to the commission.

(3) If the commission operates such a program and does not contract with a private person to operate it, all money collected from participating businesses shall be retained by the commission.

(C) The commission, in accordance with rules adopted pursuant to section 111.15 of the Revised Code, may contract with any private person to operate, maintain, or market the business logo sign program. The contract may allow for a reasonable profit to be earned by the successful applicant. In awarding the contract, the commission shall consider the skill, expertise, prior experience, and other qualifications of each applicant.

(D) The program shall permit the business logo signs of a seller of motor vehicle fuel to include on the seller’s signs a marking or symbol indicating that the seller sells one or more types of alternative fuel so long as the seller in fact sells that fuel. As used in this division, “alternative fuel” has the same meaning as in section 125.831 of the Revised Code.
