OH HB532

Requires court officers or law enforcement to immediately notify the public children services agency when a child taken into custody cannot be released to a parent, guardian, or custodian, with exceptions for arrests, delinquency proceedings, and certain other circumstances

Mandates that public children services agencies take immediate custody of children upon receiving such notification from law enforcement or court officers

Establishes inter-county coordination procedures: when a child is taken into custody outside their county of residence, the local agency acts as temporary custodian and must immediately notify the agency in the child's home county, which then takes over as lead agency

Amends six sections of Ohio Revised Code (2151.27, 2151.31, 2151.419, 2152.72, 3109.58, and 3109.68) with conforming cross-reference changes to accommodate the new custody notification requirements
