The bill introduced by Senator Roegner aims 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 against 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 be shielded from arrest, detention, or custody by law enforcement agencies in Ohio. This provision applies regardless of the nature of the proceedings—administrative, civil, or criminal—and supersedes any conflicting rules or policies enacted by public offices or officials.

Additionally, the bill prohibits public offices and officials from granting any privileges that would protect unlawfully present individuals from arrest, enforcing conflicting rules, or obstructing law enforcement actions. It also allows inquiries into an individual's immigration status in the context of immigration enforcement actions. 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 in the new provisions.
