Ohio HB488 requires amusement parks to provide real-time ride status updates.

Ohio HB488 mandates that amusement parks implement and maintain a system to publicly communicate the real-time operational status of each ride. This includes installing digital signage and updating online platforms within five minutes of any change. Non-compliance results in penalties, including fines. The Director of Agriculture must adopt rules for this requirement within 180 days of the bill's effective date.
