OH HB331

Prohibits any person from using information from motor vehicle accident reports to solicit business for pecuniary gain, with an exception for contacts to persons with whom a pre-existing business relationship exists.

Maintains existing provisions allowing law enforcement agencies to furnish accident reports to interested parties for a nonrefundable fee of $4, with board of county commissioners discretion to approve higher fees for photographs and electronic formats.

Requires the Ohio Attorney General to establish a hotline for reporting violations of the commercial solicitation prohibition.

Directs the Attorney General to adopt rules that investigate reported violations, place violators on a publicly accessible list on the Attorney General's website with details of the violation, and provide an adjudication process for persons who object to violation determinations.

Allows persons found not to have violated the prohibition to avoid placement on the violators' list if they successfully object to the Attorney General's determination.
