Ohio added a substantial-compliance rule for registered motor vehicle repair businesses

Ohio rule 4775-2-07 took effect February 24, 2025. It allows the repair board to deem a registered operator substantially compliant when required documentation, permits and registrations are in place but newly imposed equipment, training, controls or similar requirements cannot yet be fully implemented.

What to check

Ohio registered repair businesses facing newly imposed requirements should keep required registrations and documentation current and document progress toward full compliance rather than assuming a new requirement can simply be ignored.
