Which statement about Ohio's OVI offender registry is true?

• A. It is private to law enforcement
• B. It lists all OVI convictions
• C. It lists drivers with 5 or more OVI charges and is public
• D. It lists only first-time OVI offenses

Answer: (C)

OVI stands for operating a vehicle impaired, Ohio’s term for driving under the influence. The registry is meant to publicly warn and inform about repeat offenders. It is public, not private to law enforcement, and it does not list every OVI conviction. The registry focuses on drivers with five or more OVI charges, not first-time offenses. That’s why the statement that it lists drivers with 5 or more OVI charges and is public is true.
