Around 2 a.m. during the 17-hour marathon lame duck session, lawmakers passed H.B. 315, a massive, roughly 450-page omnibus bill. In it was a provision that could cost people money to get access to video from police and jails. Law enforcement could charge people for the "estimated cost" of processing the video — and you would have to pay before the footage is released. Governments could charge up to $75 an hour for work, with a fee cap of $750 per request. Legal experts say this could affect access to video from dash and body cameras, as well as surveillance video from inside jails — which are public records in Ohio. The policy was not public, nor had a hearing, prior to being snuck into the legislation.

Tonight, near midnight, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed bill into law to charge public for footage from law enforcement, including body cams

This follows a massive bill passed in December at 2 am (via @morgantrau.bsky.social) www.news5cleveland.com/news/politic...
