Bill Summary
To amend sections 4781.40, 5301.072, 5311.191, and 5321.131 of the Revised Code to prohibit manufactured home park operators, condominium associations, neighborhood associations, and landlords from restricting the display of the thin blue line flag and to name this act the Chief Steven DiSario Act.
AI Summary
This bill, named the Chief Steven DiSario Act, amends existing Ohio law to prohibit manufactured home park operators, condominium associations, neighborhood associations, and landlords from restricting the display of the "thin blue line flag," which is defined as a flag depicting a black rectangle with stars and thirteen horizontal stripes, with the top and bottom stripes being black, alternating white and black stripes in between, and the eighth stripe from the top being blue. The bill ensures that residents in these types of housing arrangements can display this flag, along with the U.S. flag, POW/MIA flag, and state flag, under certain conditions related to size, placement, and adherence to state and federal laws, without facing prohibitions from their respective governing bodies or landlords.
