OH HB723

Authorizes the Attorney General to investigate any criminal or improper activity committed on state property (facilities, buildings, premises, or property owned, leased, or controlled by the state).

Allows the Attorney General to investigate independently or jointly with local prosecuting attorneys, directors of law, or other chief legal officers.

Permits the Attorney General to either prosecute crimes directly through grand jury indictment or refer evidence to local prosecutors, who must notify the AG of their decision within 30 days.

If local prosecutors fail to act within required timeframes (30 days notification for grand jury referral, 60 days for prosecution initiation), the Attorney General may proceed with prosecution independently.

Names the legislation the "State Property Protection and Prosecution Act" and applies it to criminal activity occurring on or after the effective date, plus prior activity with no pending charges.
