Prohibit interfering with motor vehicle-related arrests

Final Passage·6/10/26

Ohio HB492 prohibits interference with motor vehicle-related arrests and mandates driver disclosure of personal information.

Ohio HB492 amends the Revised Code to prohibit any person from interfering with law enforcement officers during motor vehicle-related arrests. It also requires drivers to disclose their name, address, and date of birth upon request by a police officer who suspects a motor vehicle violation. Violators face misdemeanor charges, with interference with arrests carrying a second-degree minor misdemeanor and failure to disclose information resulting in a fourth-degree misdemeanor.
