The proposed bill, H.B. No. 2025-2026, seeks to enact a new section, 109.70, in the Revised Code of Ohio, which prohibits law enforcement agencies from using quotas for arrests and citations. The bill defines key terms such as "law enforcement official or agency," "local or state police officer," and "quota." It explicitly states that no law enforcement agency can establish or maintain a quota system for evaluating or compensating officers, require officers to meet quotas, or offer rewards based on quotas. However, the bill allows agencies to collect and analyze data on arrests and citations to ensure compliance with legal obligations.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Attorney General to create a reporting mechanism for officers to report violations of the quota prohibition. Upon receiving a report, the Attorney General is required to investigate the allegations within one year and determine if the agency in question is indeed violating the law. If a violation is found, the Attorney General will order the agency to cease the use of quotas. This legislation aims to promote fair policing practices and prevent the potential negative consequences of quota-based law enforcement.
