Ohio HB146 revises civil service status of certain county probation positions.
Ohio HB146 revises the civil service status of certain county probation positions, changing them from classified to unclassified. It allows courts of common pleas to establish county probation departments or contract with agencies for probation services. These agencies are designated as criminal justice agencies and can access certain databases. Probation officers have police powers and must meet training and experience standards. The bill also outlines procedures for appointing chief probation officers and specifies that probation officers are not part of the county's civil service.
