Bill Summary

To amend sections 2903.41, 2903.42, and 2903.43 and to enact section 5503.102 of the Revised Code to expand the violent offender database, to make public records in that database available on the internet, and to make the database information available through LEADS.

AI Summary

This bill expands the definition of "violent offender" to include individuals convicted of certain felony violations of section 2903.18 of the Revised Code, and it mandates that information collected for the violent offender database, which includes details like name, address, employment, and distinguishing marks, be made publicly accessible online. Furthermore, the bill requires that this database information be available through LEADS (Law Enforcement Automated Data System), a system used by law enforcement, and ensures that LEADS will prominently flag when an officer is viewing the information of a registered violent offender. This aims to increase public awareness and law enforcement access to information about violent offenders.
