Ohio SB432 amends the offense of abuse of a corpse by altering the penalties and definitions. It specifies that no person shall treat a human corpse in a way that would outrage reasonable family or community sensibilities. The bill defines "abuse a corpse" to include treatment by a professional person that is not generally accepted as suitable practice. Violations of these provisions are now classified as misdemeanors or felonies of varying degrees, with gross abuse of a corpse being a felony of the third degree.
