Our Take on This Bill

The ACLU of Ohio urges the passage of HCR 31 as it sends an important message to the federal government that Ohio opposes broad, warrantless surveillance of those accused of no wrongdoing. Commonsense reforms that are pro-privacy but protect our security are needed now more than ever in Ohio. There is more to do and we look forward to Ohio becoming a leader on these issues for the rest of the country.
