I don't think it matters where you are in the country if you fall under the guidelines you'll need big brother watching over you. Search the recent threads on this topic and decide if you fall under the vague and hard to interpret rules of whether you need to or not. I don't think being in Ohio has anything to do with it, still under the federal rules.
The threads are very informative with links. Maybe someone knows how to post the thread link.
