Ohio HB690 establishes penalties for failing to obey a school crossing guard.

Ohio HB690 amends the Ohio Revised Code to establish penalties for failing to obey a school crossing guard. The bill specifies that knowingly failing to obey a lawful order given by a school crossing guard while they are performing official duties is a misdemeanor in the first degree. If the violation occurs in a school zone during the hours when the speed limit is in effect, the penalty increases to a felony of the first degree. The bill also outlines additional penalties for reckless operation offenses in construction zones and other specified circumstances.
