Ohio SB179 mandates verification of veteran status for imprisoned individuals.

Ohio SB179 requires institutions under the control of the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, as well as county, municipal, and multicounty correctional institutions, to verify the veteran status of individuals in their care. These institutions must designate individuals to investigate and verify veteran status using the veteran's reentry search service. If an individual is verified as a veteran, the institution must assist them in contacting veteran-related services.
