A BILL
To enact sections 2937.223 and 2967.132 of the Revised Code to require the court clerk to promptly give written notice to the county sheriff and chief law enforcement officer of the political subdivision in which a person accused of an offense of violence will reside as a condition of bail if the offense was not committed in that political subdivision and to require the Adult Parole Authority to give similar notice to the chief law enforcement officer of the political subdivision in which an inmate who served a prison term for an offense of violence and is on parole or post-release control establishes a residence if not the political subdivision in which that offense was committed.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That sections 2937.223 and 2967.132 of the Revised Code be enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 2937.223. (A) In any case involving an alleged commission of an offense of violence, if a condition of bail set by the court under Criminal Rule 46 requires the accused to reside in a political subdivision other than the political subdivision in which the alleged offense was committed, the clerk of the court in which the case is being heard promptly shall provide the written notice set forth in division (B) of this section to the chief law enforcement officer of that political subdivision if the accused posts bail.
(B) The written notice provided by the clerk pursuant to division (A) of this section shall include, but is not limited to, the accused's name, a description of the accused, a list of all criminal charges against the accused in the case, a copy of the criminal complaint, information, or indictment filed in the case, the accused's home address, the address where the accused will be residing pursuant to the condition of bail, and, in cases in which the accused is incarcerated at the time that the court imposes bail, the name of the jail or other residential facility from which the accused was released. The supreme court may adopt a standard notification form to be used by all clerks of court.
Sec. 2967.132. (A) If a person serving a prison term for an offense of violence is released from a state correctional institution on parole or under a period of post-release control imposed pursuant to section 2967.28 of the Revised Code and establishes a residence in a political subdivision other than the political subdivision in which the offense of violence was committed or if that person establishes a residence in a political subdivision of that nature at any time during the person's period of parole or post-release control, the adult parole authority promptly shall provide the written notice set forth in division (B) of this section to the chief law enforcement officer of that political subdivision.
(B) The written notice provided by the adult parole authority pursuant to division (A) of this section shall include, but is not limited to, the person's name, a description of the person, a list of all criminal offenses for which the person was confined, a copy of the criminal complaint, information, or indictment filed in the case that resulted in the person's confinement, a copy of the court's sentence, the person's residential address, and the name of the state correctional institution from which the person was released.
