Ohio House Bill 100 (135th GA)

The legislation prevents various forms of property governance from restricting the display of flags that support law enforcement, specifically protecting the right to fly the "thin blue line" flag. The bill was named in honor of Chief Steven DiSario, a law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty.

Supporters of HB 100 argue that it upholds First Amendment rights and honors fallen police officers. However, critics have raised concerns about the "thin blue line" flag, which has been associated with white supremacist groups and prominently displayed during the January 6 United States Capitol attack.^[3] Opponents argue that the law may embolden public displays of divisive or racially charged symbolism under the guise of honoring law enforcement.
