The bill amends section 4507.09 of the Revised Code to require the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to send a notification to individuals whose driver's licenses are scheduled to expire not less than fourteen days prior to the expiration date, rather than notifying them after the license has expired. This change aims to provide drivers with timely reminders to renew their licenses, thereby potentially reducing the number of expired licenses on the road. The notification will be sent by regular mail to the individual's last known address as recorded by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that failure to provide such notification does not constitute a renewal or extension of any license. The existing language that required notification after expiration has been deleted, and the new requirement for advance notification has been inserted into the law. This legislative change is intended to enhance communication between the Registrar and drivers, ensuring that they are aware of their license status and can take appropriate action to maintain their driving privileges.
