## Resource

The Ohio Supreme Court cleared the way for updated laws governing how crime victims and accident survivors can be contacted — and when their phone numbers become public record. While upholding the revised statutes, the court acknowledged that earlier versions had flaws, which were later fixed through amendments. Accident victims now get a 24-hour window to receive one contact from solicitors, replacing the old 30-day rule — but crime victims and witnesses still face the 30-day restriction. Phone numbers in police reports are now public after 30 days only for accident-related cases; others remain protected. Though the court deemed the current laws valid, the case remains active as lower courts continue to debate whether it can proceed as a class action or warrant a preliminary injunction.
