The Ohio Department of Public Safety, Office of Criminal Justice Services ("OCJS"), will conduct a public hearing for the purpose of soliciting comments on the proposed amendment of rule 4501-53-12, entitled "Basic rider course two," of the Ohio Administrative Code. The purpose of the amendment is to allow persons who hold valid temporary instruction identification cards (TIPICs) to participate in the basic rider course- two (BRC-2) of the Motorcycle Safety and Education Program operated pursuant to section
