BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 4511.095 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 4511.095. (A) Section 34 of Article II, Ohio
Constitution, provides that laws may be passed providing for the
comfort, health, safety and general welfare of all employees. The
general assembly finds these ends will be served by enacting

34 of Article II, Ohio Constitution, the general assembly hereby
enacts this section of the Revised Code.

or township.
(2) "Traffic law photo-monitoring device" means an electronic
system consisting of a photographic, video, or electronic camera
and a means of sensing the presence of a motor vehicle that
automatically produces photographs, videotape, or digital images
of the vehicle or its license plate.
(C) (1) Except as provided in division (C)(2) of this
section, no local authority or the state highway patrol, utilizing
either its own employees, those of another public entity, or those
of a private entity, shall use a traffic law photo-monitoring
device to determine compliance with, or to detect a violation of,
section 4511.13 or 4511.21 of the Revised Code or a substantially
equivalent municipal ordinance or county or township resolution.
(2) A local authority may use a traffic law photo-monitoring
device to determine compliance with, or to detect a violation of,
section 4511.21 of the Revised Code or a substantially equivalent
municipal ordinance or county or township resolution within a
school zone during school recess and while children are going to
or leaving school during opening or closing hours only if a law
enforcement officer employed by the local authority is present at
the location of the traffic law photo-monitoring device.
Section 2. That sections 4511.092 and 4511.094 of the
Revised Code are hereby repealed.
