Bill > HB667

This bill, known as the Reagan Tokes and Patrick Heringer Act, enacts several changes to Ohio law, primarily focusing on offender monitoring and warrant processing. Key provisions include requiring certain warrants to be entered into LEADS (Law Enforcement Automated Data System), a statewide database used by law enforcement, and mandating GPS (Global Positioning System) monitoring for offenders released from prison, which will include specific restrictions like inclusionary and exclusionary zones and curfews, and will be managed by a single vendor with a crime scene correlation program allowing law enforcement real-time access to offender location data. The bill also modifies requirements for the Targeted Community Alternatives to Prison (T-CAP) program, which aims to divert certain offenders from state prisons to community-based sanctions, by clarifying when offenders are ineligible for T-CAP and by updating the conditions under which counties can participate. Additionally, it adjusts penalties for post-release control violations and clarifies the application of certain laws to offenders released on or after specific dates.
