AI Summary

Here is a summary of the key provisions of the bill in a single paragraph: This bill enacts the Reagan Tokes Act, which provides for indefinite prison terms for certain first or second degree felonies and specified third degree felonies, with a presumption of release at the end of the minimum term. The bill allows the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to reduce the minimum term for exceptional conduct or adjustment, and to rebut the release presumption and continue incarceration under certain findings. It requires the Department to establish a reentry program for offenders released to halfway houses or similar facilities, and to operate a statewide database on offenders subject to GPS monitoring, which must include crime scene correlation capabilities. The bill also requires the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission to appoint an Offender Supervision Study Committee.
