Summary
The bill amends the state’s peace officer definition to include the inspector general and deputy inspector general when they are performing their official duties. Those officials must now obtain a certificate from the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission proving they have completed an approved basic training program, just like sheriffs, police, and other listed officers. The change aligns their authority and oversight with existing law‑enforcement standards.
