SPEED IDENTIFICATION SYMBOL

Required by October 19, 2007

Ohio Governor Strickland signed the Speed Identification Symbol (SIS) bill into law in mid July. The law, effective October 19, 2007, is primarily directed to identifying farm machinery (includes commercial applicators and some towed equipment) which has been designed in its original equipment configuration for specified ground speeds greater than 25mph. The law allows said machinery to operate above 25mph when displaying both Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) and SIS emblems.
