Current through all regulations passed and

[Comment: For dates and availability of material incorporated
				by reference in this rule, see paragraph (A) in rule
				4501-7-39
				of the Administrative Code.]
(A) No
			 school shall offer behind-the-wheel training programs for persons with a
			 disability unless that school employs a driver training instructor who is
			 certified by the director to provide training for persons with a disability. 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.
(B) 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 under the age of eighteen to another licensed driver
			 training school for the required theory
			 instruction. The school shall also employ instructors certified to provide
			 driver training instruction for beginning drivers with a disability, and only
			 certified instructors may provide driver training.
(1) The authorizing official or training
			 manager 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 training manager
			 
									copies all records produced at that school for
			 students under the age of eighteen taking behind-the-wheel training and forward
			 those records to the driver training school that will complete each student's
			 classroom instruction required by division (C) of section
			 4508.02
			 of the Revised Code. The authorizing official or training manager of the driver
			 training school in which a student under eighteen completed classroom training
			 , upon the official's or manager's
			 determination of the student's successful completion,
			 issues
			 the student a "Certificate of Completion." Each school's authorizing official
			 or training manager  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 driver education as required by division (C) of section
			 4508.02
			 of the Revised Code in an online driver education program, the hospital or
			 rehabilitation facility that provides the behind-the-wheel instruction
			 supplies a "Certificate of Completion" compliant with
			 rule
			 4501-7-11 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(3) The
			 medically based hospital or rehabilitation facility shall have sufficient space
			 for storing files. If classroom driver training is not being provided at the
			 medically based hospital or rehabilitation facility, the requirement for a
			 classroom is waived for this type of facility. The facility shall comply with
			 all other requirements of a driver training school under Chapter 4501-7 of the
			 Administrative Code.
