The Ohio Blacks Laws of 1804/1807 mandated that blacks entering the state post bonds of $500 (a huge sum). Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Oregon all enacted various bond requirements (up to $1000) and laws preventing immigration of blacks.

Similar to laws in effect in the southern states much later. When they didn't outlaw free blacks from entering completely, that is.
