HB 345 amends Ohio's Revised Code section 2907.08 to increase penalties for voyeurism offenses. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of secretly recording or observing others in private settings without consent. Key provisions raise the severity of criminal penalties under existing voyeurism laws, though specific penalty levels (e.g., fines or prison terms) are not detailed in the abstract. This change modifies the legal consequences for perpetrators but does not alter the definition of voyeurism itself. The summary is based solely on the official abstract provided.
To amend sections 2923.123 and 2923.14 of the Revised Code to allow a concealed handgun licensee to carry a handgun in a building or structure that is not a courthouse but in which a courtroom is located in specified circumstances and to permit a nonresident of Ohio to obtain statutory relief from firearms disability based on an Ohio conviction, guilty plea, or delinquent child adjudication.
HB 396 expands Ohio's Address Confidentiality Program to protect more individuals in high-risk situations. It directly affects victims of domestic violence, stalking, and other threats who need to keep their home addresses private from public records. The key provision updates the law to allow these individuals to use a secure P.O. box for official mail and address verification instead of their actual residence. This change helps them maintain safety while still accessing government services without revealing their location.
