In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, Governor DeWine signed Ohio House Bill 197, which tolled all criminal and civil statutes of limitations that were set to expire between March 9th and July 30th, 2020. Because the tolling provision was set to expire on either July 30th, 2020, or when Governor DeWine lifted his emergency declaration, the statutes will be lifted when the state of emergency ends in the state of Ohio.
