Issue 1
Proposed Constitutional Amendment
TO REQUIRE COURTS TO CONSIDER FACTORS LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY WHEN SETTING
THE AMOUNT OF BAIL
Proposed by Joint Resolution of the General Assembly
To amend Section 9 of Article I of the Constitution of the State of Ohio
A majority yes vote is necessary for the amendment to pass.
The proposed amendment would:
• Require Ohio courts, when setting the amount of bail, to consider public safety, including the
seriousness of the offense, as well as a person's criminal record, the likelihood a person will return
to court, and any other factor the Ohio General Assembly may prescribe.
• Remove the requirement that the procedures for establishing the amount and conditions of bail be
determined by the Supreme Court of Ohio.
If passed, the amendment will be effective immediately.
YES SHALL THE AMENDMENT BE
APPROVED?
