Summary

The bill requires Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation to keep a registry of people convicted of domestic‑violence offenses who have prior convictions. Courts must order these repeat offenders to register within seven days, providing personal and case information, which the bureau posts online except for address, Social Security, driver’s license or state ID numbers. The goal is to make repeat offenders’ information publicly available while protecting certain private identifiers.
