Enact Megan's Way Out Act
📋 What This Bill Does
The bill requires all new drive-through facilities and those undergoing major renovations in Ohio to include a separate by-pass lane adjacent to the drive-through lane for emergency vehicle access. The by-pass lane must meet specific width, clearance, and signage requirements. Exceptions apply for existing facilities where compliance would force closure or relocation.
