Bill Summary
A BILL To enact section 4507.113 of the Revised Code to require the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to translate the Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws into additional languages.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Director of Public Safety to ensure that the Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws (a comprehensive document explaining motor vehicle regulations) is translated and made publicly available in every language in which the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) administers driver's license and temporary instruction permit examinations. The bill modifies existing law by expanding the requirement to include not just the digest, but also any other reference documents related to the written portions of driver's license examinations. This change aims to make critical driving information more accessible to non-English speaking residents of Ohio, helping ensure that all individuals taking driver's license exams can fully understand the rules and regulations, regardless of their primary language.
