OH HB580

Peace officers who lawfully stop, detain, or arrest an individual and have reasonable suspicion they are an alien unlawfully present in the United States shall make a reasonable attempt to determine their immigration status when practicable, unless it would hinder an investigation.

Peace officers shall not consider a person's race, color, or national origin when determining whether reasonable suspicion exists.

Every jail or place of custody in Ohio must designate an official to determine the immigration status of each individual arrested after this section's effective date prior to their release.

Immigration status verification must be conducted with the federal government pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1373(c) of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 1997.

An individual is presumed not to be unlawfully present if they provide a valid state driver's license, tribal identification, federal government identification, or foreign government document granting temporary legal U.S. presence.
