Delay offender financial sanctions until 180 days after release

Summary

The bill amends Ohio law so that any financial sanctions—such as restitution, fines, surcharges or reimbursement costs—cannot be imposed until 180 days after a felon leaves prison or completes transitional control. It applies to individuals sentenced for felonies who would otherwise owe these payments immediately. The delay gives released offenders time to secure income before payment is required.
