โœ”๏ธ HB108

Enact the Self-Defense Protection Act

Current Status: In House Committee (Judiciary)

Summary

The bill amends section 2901.05 of the Revised Code to establish a pretrial procedure for individuals asserting self-defense, defense of another, or defense of their property. It allows accused individuals to file a pretrial motion for a rebuttable presumption of self-defense, requiring the prosecution to prove otherwise beyond a reasonable doubt if the motion is granted. The bill also outlines conditions under which the presumption applies and defines terms related to self-defense.

Rationale

The bill aligns with the principles of both the Libertarian Party and the Libertarian Party of Ohio regarding self-defense rights and the presumption of innocence, enhancing individual rights and limiting government intervention in personal defense matters.
