The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026, introduced by Representatives Abdullahi and Sigrist, aims to enhance accessibility to motor vehicle laws in Ohio by requiring the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to translate the Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws into multiple languages. This initiative is intended to ensure that non-English speakers can better understand the laws and regulations related to driving and vehicle operation.
To implement this, the bill enacts a new section, 4507.113, in the Revised Code, which mandates that the director of public safety ensure the digest, along with any reference documents for the written portions of the temporary instruction permit and drivers' license examinations, is available in every language in which the Bureau administers these examinations. This change is designed to promote inclusivity and improve the comprehension of motor vehicle laws among diverse populations in Ohio.
