Urge House Members to Support HB 89 and Repeal "Duty to Inform"
The House State and Local Government Committee passed House Bill 89 to amend Ohio’s “duty to inform” law. The bill now should move to he House floor for a vote. Please ask your Representative to support the passage of HB 89.
Current law requires gun owners to "promptly" inform an officer. But no one can define what "promptly" means. This creates unnecessary confusion and tension between citizens and officers, and can result in criminal penalty and a fine.
HB 89 solves this problem by giving full control to the officer. If he or she wants to know if there is a firearm present, the officer simply asks.
