Under Substitute HB 142, a concealed
handgun licensee is only required to present the license or verbally
notify a police officer once requested to present their driver’s license
upon being stopped by an officer for a law enforcement purpose. By
clarifying this disclosure requirement, it gives motorists a clear set
of steps to follow when stopped by law enforcement. This substitute
bill also lowers the penalty to a minor misdemeanor, eliminates the
possibility of a suspended license or imprisonment, and reduces the fine
not to exceed $25.
Your NRA would like to thank the
legislators who voted in favor of this critical legislation to move Ohio
in the right direction towards reforming the law to ensure penalties
are closer in matching the offense. Substitute HB 142 will now be
referred to a Senate committee for further consideration. Stay tuned to
