Enact the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act
This bill, known as the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act, would prohibit planting a flagpole and flag in the center of Ohio Stadium on the day of any college football game. It directly affects the Ohio State University and anyone involved in organizing or executing the flag display during these events. The law classifies such an action as a fifth-degree felony and treats it as a strict liability offense, meaning intent is not required to be proven for a violation. If passed, the measure would make displaying a flag in that specific location on game days illegal under state law.
