OH SB100

Creates new offense of "illegal use of a tracking device or application" prohibiting knowingly installing tracking devices or applications on another person's property without consent or failing to remove them when consent is revoked.

Establishes presumption that consent is revoked if the consenting person and person given consent file for divorce, file for protection orders, or an Ohio protection order is issued against the other person.

Provides broad exemptions for law enforcement, parents tracking minor children (subject to custody conditions), caregivers of elderly or disabled persons with physician certification, licensed private investigators with property owner consent, vehicle owners/lessees, aircraft operators, and surety bail bond agents.

Classifies violation as first-degree misdemeanor, except escalates to fourth-degree felony if offender has prior conviction, was subject to protection order, had history of violence, or represents substantial risk of physical harm.

Applies statewide to any person installing tracking devices or applications, with "person" defined as individuals but excluding business entities.
