The Ohio Department of Public Safety licenses driving schools and renews licenses to schools
that meet and/or exceed standards outlined in the Ohio Revised Code. ODPS has vowed to be
vigilant in its investigation and discipline of schools not meeting these standards or those in
violation of current Ohio law.

The Ohio Traffic Safety Office inspects driving schools, including teenage driver schools,
driver training schools for those with disabilities, and CDL training schools to verify they are
meeting and/or exceeding state-set standards.

Upon completion of the inspection and closure of any related administrative case, an inspection
report can be obtained by contacting Wendy Forbes, Driver Training.

Changes to Temporary Permit Procedure - Effective December 15, 2008,
the Ohio BMV and the Ohio State Highway Patrol implemented new measures to
increase efficiency and security when issuing temporary driving permits.

Substitute House Bill 343 - Signed into law on January 4, 2007, this addition to the
Graduated Driver License law went into effect on April 4, 2007.
