HB 926, the Felony Accountability for Frequent Offenders Act, would enact Revised Code section 2941.1427 and amend sentencing, parole, and post-release control provisions to establish a specification for a habitual felony offender. The bill was referred to committee on May 20, 2026, with no further action recorded.
Constitutional basis: Recidivist sentencing enhancement is a settled legislative power, but the bill sits in committee with no enactment or judicial review of its proportionality.
