State Rep. Bob Peterson | The Ohio House of Representatives
State Representative Bob Peterson has announced the passage of House Bill 131 by the Ohio House of Representatives. The bipartisan bill seeks to eliminate quotas for arrests and citations within law enforcement agencies.
The bill aims to prioritize quality over quantity in police work, fostering better relationships between officers and community members. Current regulations allow mandating a specific number of tickets per day for officers.
Representative Peterson expressed his support, stating, “I appreciate the work of our excellent law enforcement officers and know that their focus is on protecting and serving the public. I was glad to support this important common-sense legislation that clarifies this requirement.”
The legislation has garnered backing from both law enforcement communities and civil justice reform advocates. The next step for House Bill 131 is consideration by the Ohio Senate.
