Enact the Larry Henderson Act

Summary

HB 372 amends Ohio’s aggravated‑murder statute to include the intentional killing of a peace officer, corrections officer, prosecutor, first responder, or military member as an aggravated‑murder offense. Offenders are subject to the same sentencing range already available for aggravated murder, which can include death, life without parole, or life with parole eligibility after a set number of years. The bill defines each new victim category and moves the House for committee review.
