SB 75 Ohio Senate · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Increase penalty for failure to report a lost or stolen firearm

SB 75 increases the penalty for failing to report a lost or stolen firearm or dangerous ordnance to law enforcement. It directly affects firearm owners who lose or have their weapons stolen, requiring them to report immediately or face stricter consequences. The bill amends Ohio law to elevate the penalty for this specific violation from a misdemeanor to a more severe classification (described as "misdemeanor of the fourth first degree" in the text, though the exact classification appears to be a typo). This is a concrete policy change to strengthen accountability for firearm reporting, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
