Rep. Bird is a Co-Sponsor of House Bill 338
Representative Bird is a co-sponsor of House Bill 338 – also known as Andy’s Law – legislation that expands the offense of aggravated murder or assault of correctional facility employees and instills new measures to reduce inmate drug possession.
House Bill 338 works to do the following:
- Expands the offense to sentence of life in prison without parole if an inmate murders a Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC) or Department of Youth Services (DYS) employee
- Creates a mandatory, 7-year consecutive sentence for inmates who commit a felonious assault against an ODRC or DYS employees
- Creates a mandatory, 3-year sentence for the assault of throwing bodily fluids at an ODRC or DYS employee
- Allows supervisors and higher-ranking staff members of prisons to detain individuals who are found to be attempting to bring illegal substances into prisons or to give to inmates
- Ensures all Level 3 and 4 prisons have drug-sniffing dogs at their institution within 2 years and all lower-level prisons have K9 units within 5 years
- Instills no-contact visitations at all Level 3 and 4 prisons
House Bill 338 now heads to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.
 Rep. Bird is thankful for Barb Bruner and everything she does for the Batavia community.
