The House Criminal Justice Committee, chaired by Rep. John White (R-38), will hold a fourth hearing on HB264 (Castle Doctrine), on Thursday, May 1 at 9:30 a.m. in Statehouse Room 121.

The chairman has indicated that a substitute bill may be introduced.

The Senate's version of Castle Doctrine (SB184) passed the Senate earlier this month with unanimous support.

Meanwhile in the Senate, Ohio's "Firearms Modernization" (Concealed Carry Fix-it) bill (SB318), has been added to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice's agenda for Wednesday, April 30 at 10:00 a.m. in the Senate Building's North Hearing Room.

This will be the second formal hearing of the bill by this committee, and is being held for the purpose of considering opponent testimony.
