Ohio HB548 mandates alcohol and drug testing for officers after use of force incidents.

Ohio HB548 requires peace officers and corrections officers to submit to chemical tests within three hours after using force in an incident. The tests determine the presence and concentration of alcohol, controlled substances, or their metabolites. Employers must report test results to prosecutors and the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation if investigating the officer's use of force. The bill also outlines corrective actions for officers with prohibited concentrations and exceptions for officers not directly involved in the incident.
