Introduced Text

Ohio HB722 prohibits individuals without legal presence in the U.S. from driving in Ohio.

Ohio HB722 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit individuals without legal presence in the United States from operating any motor vehicle on Ohio highways. This applies regardless of whether they are permitted to drive in another state or hold a valid driver's license from another state. Violators face a strict liability misdemeanor charge. The bill also mandates that law enforcement officers send copies of tickets, citations, or summonses to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for violations involving nonresidents.
