[Comment: For dates and availability of material incorporated
				by reference in this rule, see paragraph (A) in rule
				4501-8-21
				of the Administrative Code.]
(A) No
			 school shall offer behind-the-wheel training programs for persons with a
			 disability unless that school employs an instructor who is certified by the
			 director to provide training for persons with a disability.
(B) No instructor shall provide
			 behind-the-wheel training to a student with a disability unless that instructor
			 has been certified by the director to train persons with a
			 disability.
(C) A medically based
			 hospital or rehabilitation facility that offers instruction for beginning
			 drivers with a disability shall appoint an authorizing official who
			 applies for a driver training school license for each
			 driver training facility or school it operates. The school may offer only
			 behind-the-wheel driver training and may refer students to another licensed
			 driver training school for the required theory
			 instruction. The school shall also employ instructors certified to provide
			 driver training instruction for drivers with a disability, and only certified
			 instructors may provide driver training.
(1)
			 The authorizing official or adult training coordinator of the driver training
			 school at a hospital or rehabilitation facility shall maintain complete records
			 of each student's training at that school. For a hospital or rehabilitation
			 facility that does not supply the required classroom training, the authorizing
			 official or adult training coordinator copies all records produced at that
			 school for students taking behind-the-wheel training and forward those records
			 to the driver training school that will complete each student's classroom
			 instruction required by paragraph (A) of rule
			 4501-8-09 of
			 the Administrative Code. The authorizing official or adult training coordinator
			 of the driver training school in which a student completed classroom training
			 shall, upon the official's or coordinator's determination of the student's
			 successful completion, issues the student a "Certificate of Completion." Each
			 school's authorizing official or adult training coordinator
			 
									maintains complete driver training records applicable
			 to this student, including copies of those completed by another school for the
			 same student.
(2) For those
			 students who have completed the abbreviated adult course through an online
			 program, the hospital or rehabilitation facility that provides the
			 behind-the-wheel instruction 
									maintains the "Certificate of Completion of an
			 Online Adult Program" for each student. The authorizing official or adult
			 training coordinator of a medically based hospital or rehabilitation facility
			 determines the student's successful completion and
			 supplies a "Certificate of Completion" compliant with
			 rule
			 4501-8-10
			 of the Administrative Code.
