    Vol. 1 Issue 1 Spring 2016 Published by the Ohio State Bar Association Animal Law Committee Animal Law News An elephant’s journey: How the laws and regulations affecting zoos have evolved leading to the modern zoo If we look back 60 years, which is the average lifespan of an African Elephant, we can witness the significant changes which have occurred in the approach to animal welfare at zoos. There are numerous regulations with which zoos must comply; however, more importantly, rigorous industry accreditation standards have been birthed, driving many zoos in a “race to the top” for excellence in animal care. Our country’s first approach to regulating zoos focused on the control of disease. From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the Animal Quarantine Laws1 and the Lacey Act2 empowered the president and the Department of the Interior, respectively, to regulate the importation of animals that would threaten domestic animals or humans from disease or other harmful effects.

  • 2018 Post-General Election Update
    2018 post-general election update November 7, 2018 On Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2018 general election. For the first time since 2006, five statewide elected offices were up for election without an incumbent running in the 2018 general election. Federal offices, including all Ohio U.S. Representatives seats and one U.S. Senate seat, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, all seats in the Ohio House of Representatives and 17 Ohio Senate seats were on the ballot. Many counties in Ohio and around the country reported record- breaking early voter turnout. Nearly 1.5 million ballots were requested by mail and in person, and an estimated 1.3 million had been cast as of the close of early voting on November 5, 2018. Here is Bricker & Eckler’s overview of the 2018 general election results and details on races of particular interest. STATEWIDE BALLOT ISSUES Issue 1: This proposed constitutional amendment was filed as the “Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment.” If adopted, the amendment would have, among other things, required reductions in sentencing in certain situations, mandated that certain criminal offenses or uses of any drugs, such as fentanyl and heroin, can only be classified as a misdemeanor, and prohibited jail time as a sentence for obtaining, possessing or using such drugs until an individual’s third offense within 24 months. Issue 1 was defeated by 63.41 percent. The Ohio Safe and Healthy Communities Campaign led the way in support of the proposed constitutional amendment. Supporters of Issue 1 were financially supported by Open Society Policy Center, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Open Philanthropy Project Action Fund.

  • 2014 Election Review + What's Next for Ohio
    Electi2014 on RECAP Election Review + What’s Next for Ohio The anticipation for Election Day finally peaked and now the aftermath of the poll results is starting to sink in across the state. While it may be clear who the winners are, there is still much more to uncover as Ohio prepares for what is to come in the next four years. This Election Review provides insights into what the results really mean for Ohio, what issues are left and what could be on the ballot in 2016. Election Review + What’s Next for Ohio We’re Going to Campaign like it’s 2018! by Steve Tugend Last night, when all of the Republican statewide officeholders were declared victors in their reelection bids, the 2018 gubernatorial race quietly began. Thanks to Article III Section 2 of the Ohio Constitution, not only is Governor John Kasich unable to run for a third term, but his statewide colleagues, Mike DeWine, John Husted, Dave Yost, Mary Taylor and Josh Mandel, will be unable to seek an additional term in their current positions in the 2018 election. While Yost, a former county prosecutor, is expected to seek the attorney general’s position in that year, there could be a crowded GOP field vying for governor in the 2018 election. Husted, DeWine, Mandel and Taylor could all enter the race. However, one of these four may opt to run against Senator Sherrod Brown that year. Matt Borges, the Chair of the Ohio Republican Party, is likely to lose sleep worrying about avoiding a repeat of the 2006 gubernatorial race debacle where Jim Petro and Ken Blackwell collided in a vicious primary battle that resulted in Democrat Ted Strickland clobbering the Republican nominee and the GOP statewide ticket winning only a solitary seat thanks to Mary Taylor.

  • Oml Updates: At-A-Glance
    OML UPDATES: AT-A-GLANCE Here are the top three things you need to know this week: 13 states so far, including Texas and Ohio, have passed laws this year dictating how cities should regulate small cell wireless technology. In addition to the cities in Ohio that have filed suit, 22 Texas cities are also legally challenging their state's law. Ohio is making money off of its Medicaid expansion. This budget year, Ohio is receiving $62.2 million more than it currently spends on Medicaid expansion. Net revenue projections for next year hit $21.2 million. In total, the state uses Medicaid expansion money to leverage over $300 million in additional revenue each year. Ohio transportation by the numbers: since 2012, 31 states have enacted a transportation funding increase; 8 states have raised gas taxes, and 10 states have approved new fees for electric and/or hybrid vehicles. October 13, 2017 BILL REGULATING MUNICIPAL USE OF CREDIT CARDS HEARS PROPONENT TESTIMONY The House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee held a second hearing on HB 312, legislation that would regulate the use of credit and debit cards by political subdivisions. Sponsored by Rep. Schuring (R - Canton) and Rep. Greenspan (R - Westlake), the bill received proponent testimony from State Auditor David Yost who shared with the committee that the legislation was proposed to address the use of credit cards by local governments which has become more prevalent in recent years. Auditor Yost commented, "Unfortunately, the incidence of credit card fraud by local government officials has become more prevalent as the use has increased.

  • 2016 Ohio Primary Election Update and Summary
    2016 Ohio primary election update and summary March 16, 2016 On Tuesday, March 15, Ohioans cast ballots in the 2016 primary election. While the 2016 presidential election has been capturing most of the media spotlight, several other races of significance were contested. Below, we have compiled results of some races of particular note and will continue to closely watch these races and others as we move toward the general election in November. (A full list of results from the Ohio House of Representative and Ohio Senate races with primary contests is also included below.) As results continue to come in, please be advised that some of the information below may be incomplete. We will continue to update this publication over the next few days as the boards of elections finalize results. We hope this overview is helpful as we move into the next phase of the campaign season. U.S. President Governor John Kasich won the Ohio Republican primary race for president with 46 percent of the vote, beating out Donald Trump (36 percent), Ted Cruz (13 percent) and Marco Rubio (2 percent). In May 2015, the Ohio General Assembly moved Ohio’s primary to allow Ohio to become a “winner takes all” state in the Republican primary race. Under party rules, if Ohio held its primary before March 15 (as it would have under previous law), delegates would be elected by congressional district and could go to multiple Republican presidential hopefuls. In September 2015, the Ohio Republican Party formally designated the primary election as a winner takes all contest to allow the top statewide vote-getter to take all 66 of Ohio’s Republican presidential delegates.
