A BILL
To enact section 4931.71 of the Revised Code to
prohibit broadcasting an actual 9-1-1 call that
has been made available as a public record.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4931.71 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4931.71. A recording of a 9-1-1 call is a public record
under section 149.43 of the Revised Code. However, a recording of
a 9-1-1 call that has been made available as a public record may
not be played over a broadcast medium such as radio, television,
or the internet. This restriction does not prohibit reading a
transcript of a recording of a 9-1-1 call over a broadcast medium.
Rather, it prohibits only causing a recording to give out an
actual 9-1-1 call over a broadcast medium.
