Introduced Text

Ohio HB211 requires courts to consider an offender's status as a primary caretaker of a child when determining eligibility for community control.

Ohio HB211 amends sections 2929.19, 2951.03, and 2951.041 of the Revised Code to require courts to consider an offender's status as a primary caretaker of a child when deciding on community control sanctions or intervention in lieu of conviction. Courts must weigh this status as a mitigating factor, alongside other considerations like the offender's age, family environment, and potential mental health issues.
