HB 696: Modify jurisdiction of the Erie County prosecuting attorney

HB 696 modifies Ohio law to shift prosecution jurisdiction for criminal cases in municipal courts. It requires county prosecuting attorneys (not local village solicitors or city law directors) to handle most violations of state law arising in unincorporated areas of their counties, including Erie County starting January 2026. The bill specifies exceptions for certain townships in Erie County and outlines that some counties (like Hamilton, Portage, and Wayne) will receive annual stipends ($4,800) for this duty. Municipal corporations (villages/cities) retain authority to prosecute cases within their own boundaries. This change affects county prosecutors, municipal legal officers, and residents in unincorporated areas across multiple counties.

HB 679: Increase the penalties for engaging in prostitution

HB 679 increases penalties for engaging in prostitution by amending Ohio law to classify violations as misdemeanors or felonies based on prior offenses. It specifically enhances penalties when the victim has a developmental disability, requiring felony charges and mandatory sex offender registration for repeat offenses. The bill also mandates offenders to complete education/treatment programs and imposes fines ($1,000-$1,500) for misdemeanor violations, with funds directed to human trafficking survivor services. It directly affects individuals engaging in or facilitating prostitution, particularly those exploiting vulnerable populations. The bill does not change the definition of prostitution but escalates consequences for repeat violations and cases involving developmental disabilities.
