Retroactive Application (Non-EPF)

State v. Hubbard (Ohio 2021)

Posted: November 3, 2021
In a split decision, the Supreme Court of Ohio held that retroactive application of "Sierah's Law", imposing a registration requirement on certain categories of violent offenders, is not an additional punishment or such a burden that it can be considered a violation of the Ohio Constitution's Retroactivity Clause.  In so holding, the Court compared the registration requirements of the Violent Offender Database to Ohio's sex-offender-registration laws.
