Ohio AirTag bill that would ban nonconsensual tracking heads to governor

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – The Ohio Statehouse passed a bill last week that would criminalize using an electronic device to track someone without their consent. 

Senate Bill 100, sponsored by Sens. Nickie Antonio (D-Lakewood) and Nathan Manning (R-North Ridgeville), would prohibit residents from using technology to track someone without their permission. This includes devices and apps such as Apple AirTags or Life360. Currently, in Ohio, putting a tracker on someone’s personal property is not its own crime.
