OH HB537

Requires all applicants under 18 years of age to complete a first-aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training course within one year before applying for a driver's license.

Registrar of Motor Vehicles must adopt rules governing approved first-aid and CPR training courses in accordance with standards from the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, or other nationally recognized certification bodies.

Registrar shall develop a list of organizations offering approved training courses, create certification forms, and provide notification of the requirement through driver training materials.

State agencies including the Attorney General, Department of Health, and Department of Public Safety may provide information about grant opportunities and available funds to help reduce costs for applicants taking the required training course.

Violating the requirement or knowingly making false statements on affidavits related to driver's license applications is a minor misdemeanor with a $100 fine.
