Franklin County jail in downtown Columbus.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers launched another effort to overhaul the state’s bail system, which has been talked about for years and is backed by conservative and liberal groups.
The newly introduced Senate bill doesn’t eliminate cash bail, but caps it at 25% of a person’s monthly net income. Sen. Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) is sponsoring the bill with Sen. Steve Huffman (R-Tipp City) and three co-sponsors, two of them Democrats.
McColley said it will help in an unequal system where some can afford the bail imposed on them and some can’t.
