Enact the Ohio Right to Compute Act

Summary

The bill bars Ohio state agencies and local governments from prohibiting lawful use of computers, software, AI and related technologies unless a top‑level public need is shown. It also requires any AI that controls critical infrastructure to follow recognized risk‑management standards, with exemptions for simple or cybersecurity‑only tools. The aim is to protect essential services while preserving the right to use technology.
