3-11-2009 Ohio:
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio Senate has passed a bill to prevent sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools or day care facilities even if they committed their crimes before passage of a state law prohibiting such residency.
The Senate voted 30-0 Tuesday in response to a 2008 Ohio Supreme Court decision that says the sex offender residency law could not be applied retroactively. The Legislature enacted the law in 2003.
The court said the law was vague and that it could not determine that lawmakers wished to make it apply to sex offenders who committed their crimes before the residency law was enacted.
The bill applying the law retroactively now goes to the Ohio House. ..News Source.. by NewsNet5.com

Well welcome to Ohio.. It is rated number 38 in the lack of personal liberties survey. Keep up the good work and we may even get the last spot number 50. Keep up the repression or would it be opre3ssion of all RSO's in the state. Drive them all underground since nowhere will be fit to live by the time the law makers get done.
