A driver's License suspension may no longer be mandatory in many drug cases in Ohio. Senate Bill 204 and a companion bill currently under consideration in the House would eliminate the imposition of mandatory driver's license suspensions in the majority of criminal drug offenses in Ohio. Currently, Ohio is one of sixteen states that requires a driver's license suspension be imposed by a sentencing court even in minor misdemeanor marijuana possession cases. The minimum suspension in such matters is six months. The new proposals would instead give judges discretionary powers to impose suspensions unless a motor vehicle was used while committing the drug offense or in OVI matters where such suspensions would continue to be mandatory. This proposal would bring Ohio in line with the surrounding states of Kentucky, Michigan, and West Virginia which do not mandate the imposition of drug-offense suspensions.

No more checking Facebook statuses while driving for young drivers….
The Ohio House of Representatives is considering banning texting while driving for all drivers, and prohibiting sixteen and seventeen-year-olds from using any hand-held devices while behind the wheel.
The Ohio Senate passed the bill last week, and it is now under consideration by the House. Ultimately, the ban must be signed into law by Governor John Kasich.
Under the proposal, texting would be prohibited for all drivers. The law would go even further for drivers under eighteen, prohibiting all use of cellphones and other electronic devices for typing and talking.
Adults violating the law would face a minor misdemeanor charge and a maximum fine of $150. Juveniles would face a $150 fine and a sixty day operator’s license suspension, with subsequent violations resulting in higher penalties.
