DeWine Signs Tougher Slow-Vehicle Bill

The bill that treats golf carts, scooters and certain off-road transportation as motor vehicles subject to Ohio vehicular homicide laws has been signed by Governor Mike DeWine.

Operators of those vehicles can face criminal charges if the vehicle causes a death or serious injury.

Motorized bicycles are also included.

The bill takes effect in three months.
