The proposed bill enacts sections 993.15 and 993.16 of the Revised Code, which mandates amusement park operators to establish and maintain a system that communicates the real-time operational status of each amusement ride. The bill defines key terms such as "amusement park," "ride status," and "real-time," and requires that the ride status be updated within five minutes of any change. Operators must provide clear indications of whether rides are operational, temporarily closed, under maintenance, or closed for other reasons. To ensure public access to this information, the bill stipulates that operators must install digital signage at the park and ride entrances, as well as display ride statuses on their websites and social media platforms.

Additionally, the bill outlines penalties for non-compliance, including a warning for first violations and a civil fine of $10,000 per day for subsequent violations. It also mandates that the director of agriculture adopt rules within 180 days of the bill's effective date to implement and enforce these provisions, including inspection and compliance monitoring. The provisions of section 993.15 will take effect one year after the bill's effective date.
