Sub. H.B. No. 33 - Summary

• Establishes the Methamphetamine Awareness and Notification Act requiring law enforcement agencies to report discoveries of illegal methamphetamine manufacturing laboratories to the Ohio Attorney General's bureau of criminal identification and investigation, including property location and vehicle identification numbers.

• Creates a statewide database of properties and motor vehicles where methamphetamine labs have been discovered, maintained on the Attorney General's website with information accessible through title searches, and allows removal only upon receipt of an affidavit certifying residue removal.

• Requires the Ohio Department of Health to establish guidelines for methamphetamine residue removal from real property when federal guidelines are adopted, and mandates contractors submit notarized affidavits to property owners certifying compliance with removal standards.

• Amends residential property disclosure requirements to include information about any illegal methamphetamine manufacturing laboratory discovered on the property and its inclusion in the state database, with exemption for properties successfully removed from the database.

• Adds falsification of affidavits required under the methamphetamine residue removal rules as a criminal offense and requires motor vehicle titles to indicate if a seized vehicle is listed on the methamphetamine lab database.
