The bill, introduced by Senator Roegner, seeks to enact section 9.631 of the Revised Code, which clarifies that individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States do not have the privilege of being exempt from arrest. The new section defines "public office" and "public official," and establishes that, subject to constitutional protections, no person suspected of being unlawfully present can avoid arrest, detention, or custody by law enforcement agencies in Ohio, regardless of the nature of the proceedings. This provision overrides any conflicting rules or policies previously enacted by public offices or officials.

Additionally, the bill prohibits public offices and officials from granting any privileges to unlawfully present individuals, enforcing conflicting rules, or obstructing law enforcement actions related to such individuals. It also allows inquiries into an individual's immigration status when necessary for immigration enforcement. Importantly, the bill protects individuals acting in good faith under this section from civil or criminal liability, ensuring they cannot be penalized for complying with the law as outlined.
