BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 2927.12 of the Revised Code be
amended to read as follows:
Sec. 2927.12. (A) As used in this section, "disability"
means a physical, sensory, cognitive, or mental disorder that
substantially limits one or more major life activities, including,
but not limited to, the functions of caring for one's self,
performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking,
breathing, learning, and working; a record of a physical, sensory,
cognitive, or mental disorder; or being regarded as having a
physical, sensory, cognitive, or mental disorder.
(B) No person shall violate section 2903.21, 2903.22,
2909.06, or 2909.07, or division (A)(3), (4), or (5) of section
2917.21 of the Revised Code by reason of the race, color,
religion, or national origin, or disability of another person or
group of persons.
(B)(C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of ethnic
intimidation. Ethnic intimidation is an offense of the next higher
