House Bill 315
Residents of the City of Columbus
House Bill 315 threatens the public's right to access public information that directly impacts the ability to obtain necessary body camera footage and other video camera footage to hold Columbus Police accountable for heinous crimes and the murder of civilians.
This bill allows the Columbus Police Department to continue avoiding transparency and creates a financial barrier for organizers, social justice organizations, law firms, and victims' families.

By signing this petition, you’re supporting the request for public records’ cost not to change in the city of Columbus in response to the signage of House Bill 315.
By signing this petition, you support the public’s right to access public documents without undue financial burden. We, the undersigned, demand that the City of Columbus keep public record request prices at their current affordable rate despite the recent passage of House Bill 315, which allows them to charge up to $750 for access to bodycam footage.
