The proposed bill, known as the Keep Them Safe Act, aims to establish guidelines and civil immunity for the voluntary storage of firearms in Ohio. It introduces a new section, 2923.26, to the Revised Code, which defines key terms such as "legal cause," "federally licensed firearms dealer," and "law enforcement agency." The bill allows firearm owners or authorized individuals to store firearms with federally licensed dealers or law enforcement agencies, while outlining the responsibilities and limitations of these entities regarding the storage and return of firearms.

Additionally, the bill provides civil immunity to federally licensed firearms dealers and law enforcement agencies for any injuries or losses related to the storage or return of firearms, unless they act with malicious intent. It also stipulates that if a court finds that a dealer or agency wrongfully withheld a firearm, the court must award reasonable costs and attorney's fees to the individual seeking the return. Furthermore, any information related to the storage agreement is deemed confidential and not subject to public record laws.
