The bill amends several sections of the Revised Code and introduces a new section, 2950.035, which establishes specific restrictions for sex offenders and child-victim offenders regarding their proximity to their victims. It prohibits these offenders from residing within 2,000 feet and loitering within 1,000 feet of the victim's residence. The bill also provides legal recourse for property owners and authorities if these restrictions are violated, allowing for injunctive relief without the need to prove irreparable harm. Additionally, it clarifies that these restrictions apply only if the offender is listed on the state registry and that they do not apply if the victim moves within the restricted distance of the offender.

Moreover, the bill introduces regulations that prevent individuals with a history of sexually oriented offenses from volunteering in capacities that involve extensive contact with minors, with violations subject to injunctive relief or criminal prosecution. It modifies landlord-tenant laws to enable landlords to terminate rental agreements with tenants who are registered sex offenders, particularly if the premises are near schools or childcare facilities. The bill also includes new definitions related to children's crisis care and residential infant care facilities, while repealing several existing sections of the Revised Code to restructure the legal framework. Lastly, it presents section 2950.99 as a composite of amendments from previous bills to ensure clarity and consistency in the law.
