OH HB283

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

Registrar of Motor Vehicles must adopt rules establishing minimum course curriculum standards in accordance with training courses certified by the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, or other nationally recognized first-aid and CPR certification standards.

Registrar must develop a list of approved organizations offering the required training course, prescribe evidence forms for course completion, provide notification through driver training materials, and make available information about grants or funds to reduce training costs.

Applicants under 18 must present evidence of successfully completing an approved first-aid and CPR training course on a form prescribed by the registrar as part of their driver's license application.

Registrar must adopt all necessary rules and procedures within 180 days of the effective date; violating false statement provisions results in a minor misdemeanor with a $100 fine.
