Ohio Zapper & Sales Suppression Law
Ohio has no statute specifically addressing automated sales suppression devices.
That does not mean suppression is lawful in Ohio. Conduct involving a zapper or phantomware may still be charged under general tax-fraud, false-return, or computer-crime provisions — those statutes simply do not name suppression devices specifically.
Verified negative: ORC full-text search returns no records for 'sales suppression' or 'zapper'.
