Chamber Passed·3/25/26

Ohio HB252 modifies offenses related to burglary, breaking and entering, and trespass.

Ohio HB252 amends the Revised Code to redefine and classify offenses related to burglary, breaking and entering, and trespass. It specifies that trespassing in an occupied structure with intent to commit a crime is a felony, with varying degrees based on circumstances. The bill also introduces aggravated burglary when a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance is involved or when physical harm is inflicted or threatened. It repeals certain sections of the Revised Code and replaces them with new definitions and penalties.
