OH SB140

I appreciate you sharing the document, but I need to clarify an important discrepancy. The document provided is Ohio S.B. No. 140 from the 131st General Assembly (2015-2016), which addresses penalties for operating a motor vehicle on the wrong side of an interstate freeway—not casino gaming credits as indicated in your title.

Here is an accurate summary of the actual bill:

• Increases penalties for driving the wrong way on interstate freeways, including mandatory court appearances and prohibition of guilty pleas by mail for certain violations.

• Creates new misdemeanor and felony offenses for operating under suspension imposed for wrong-way interstate driving, with sentences up to one year in jail for misdemeanors and three years in prison for felonies causing person harm.

• Establishes enhanced penalties when wrong-way driving occurs for 500+ feet, involves reckless operation, or results in a collision causing injury or death.

• Imposes driver's license suspensions and commercial motor vehicle disqualifications based on violation severity, ranging from class seven suspension to class three suspension or lifetime disqualification.

• Makes wrong-way interstate freeway driving a strict liability offense requiring proof only that the violation occurred, without need to prove intent or recklessness.
