Ohio enacts law to issue public alerts for escaped felons, similar to AMBER Alerts.
Ohio has passed the Escaped Convict Alert Program, signed by Governor DeWine on December 1, allowing law enforcement to issue public alerts for escaped felons, similar to AMBER Alerts.
The law, under House Bill 23, enables rapid dissemination of information to enhance public safety, with liability protection for broadcasters and communication systems that share alerts in good faith.
The program applies statewide, excluding those in community-based correctional facilities, and implementation is left to local authorities.
State Senator Terry Johnson (R-McDermott), who led the legislation, emphasized the importance of timely alerts and community vigilance.
