New Law

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signs Senate Bill 288, which strengthens laws in Ohio related to the use of cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. The bill, which was initially part of House Bill 283, contains several safety measures championed by DeWine, including a wide ban on using and holding a phone while driving. Although distracted driving is known to be underreported, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reports that there have been at least 73,945 distracted driving crashes in Ohio since 2017.
