Bail Vs Bond In Ohio

Q: What is the new bail law in Ohio?

The amendment which voters overwhelmingly approved in November 2022 requires judges to consider public safety when setting bail. The amendment also took power away from the Ohio Supreme Court to set rules on bail amounts or conditions and gave it to state lawmakers.

Q: Do you need a job to bail someone out of jail?

No - if you signed the bond it doesn&#039;t matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
