Ohio House Bill 796 (HB796)

LOVEboldly's Position - 

OPPOSED

Ensure inmates, prisoners housed according to biological sex

Why Should Christians Care?

Summary

HB796 would require Ohio jails and prisons to house inmates by their "biological sex" (that is, their gender as assigned at birth) rather than their current gender identity.

Status

HB796 was introduced in the House on March 25, 2026. It has not yet been assigned to a committee.

Take Action

Congregational Action

Additional Resources

LOVEboldly exists to create spaces where LGBTQIA+ people can flourish in Christianity. Though oriented to Christianity, we envision a world where all Queer people of faith can be safe, belong, and flourish both within and beyond their faith traditions.
