HB 519 amends Ohio law to make it a crime to possess an electronic device (like a key fob or hacking tool) when circumstances suggest the intent to steal a motor vehicle. It directly affects individuals who attempt to steal vehicles using electronic means, such as bypassing security systems. The key provision prohibits holding such devices in situations where the intent to commit vehicle theft is evident, rather than requiring actual theft to occur. This change clarifies and strengthens existing statutes to address electronic vehicle theft methods.

To enact section 5534.971 of the Revised Code to designate a portion of Interstate 275 in Hamilton County as the "Deputy Larry Henderson Memorial Highway."

SB 114 bans law enforcement agencies from setting mandatory targets for arrests or citations. It directly affects police departments and officers who previously may have been required to meet specific numerical goals. The bill creates a new state law section (109.70) making it illegal to use such quotas. This is a direct policy change prohibiting a specific practice, not a broader reform.
