OHIO LEGISLATIVE ALERT Legislation: HB 49. Status: Referred to committee with some hearings held Hearing/Vote: None Points of Contact: Your local Ohio State Representative and Senator, which you can find by visiting: https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislators/find-my-legislators Analysis HB 49 is the Governor’s budget for the fiscal year 2018-2019, and will fund the government for that time period. Buried deep within this bill are two provisions that will significantly impact the practice of nutrition and dietetics in Ohio. The first would dissolve the State Board of Dietetics, and move it under the state medical board. Second, the legislation would empower the Director of the Department of Administrative Services to review and approve, or disapprove, certain board actions that have been referred to the Director by members of the public. Specifically, the Director can take action if the Board is engaging in practices that limit competition, even if authorized by law. This would make it possible for any member of the public to file a complaint about the Board of Dietetics, and potentially have the law invalidated, or more likely, the board frozen and prevented from acting until the law is fixed. This proposal represents our best effort in years to change Ohio for the better. Recommendations This is a major development and we should support this bill in the strongest means possible. Even if the Board of Dietetics is not dissolved, the Department of Administrative Services provision creates a realistic opportunity to force greater change later. Please send the action alert below to local state Representatives and Senators, and consider calling by phone to follow up. SUPPORTER - SAMPLE LETTER TO SEND TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) March 30, 2017 Dear__________: I noted with interest in the Governor’s budget proposal, HB 49, two very important provisions: The first would be to move the Board of Dietetics under the state medical board. The second would empower the Department of Administrative Services Director to review and approve, or disapprove, certain board or commission actions that have been referred to the Director. Specifically, law or actions that enable the members of the occupation the board regulates to engage in anticompetitive conduct that could be subject to antitrust law if undertaken by private persons. As your constituent, I support these and ask that you vote to support them as well. Under current law, only someone who is a dietician may provide any nutrition education, guidance, information, or assessment. This law has done nothing to improve the health for Ohioans, but has furthered a monopoly for dieticians. It’s a one-size-fits-all model that does more harm than good, and has restricted the practice of nutrition to one profession, education, credential and modality. There is absolutely no opportunity for competition. The Board of Dietetics is composed of a majority of dietitians, and the law and its regulations have been written in such a way as to exclude competition, and give a monopoly to this one group over many others. I disagree with this. Everyone should be allowed to practice up to the level of their education and training, which would provide maximum choice for Ohioans, while also increasing employment, reducing healthcare costs, and improving our states’ healthcare system. The practice of nutrition has never harmed anyone. Please support and vote for HB 49 and the aforementioned proposals so we can have honest and open competition in nutrition care, create more jobs, and more opportunities for Ohio.

    Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020

    Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020 Summary of Races: The biggest story in Statehouse races as we approach Election Day is the recent charges that have been brought against Larry Householder. The criminal complaint brought against him alleges he took part in a $61 million racketeering scheme. As the case pends in federal court, many of the campaign funds that the House Republican Caucus rely on for financial support have been frozen and likely will not be able to be accessed until after the election. In what is already a tough cycle because of the presidential election, having the financial resources compromised puts many of the races in question. Having competed against a super majority for several years and seeing the presidential election as a boon for their base, the House Democrats were already looking to pick up quite a few seats. With the new financial woes that the Republicans could face, Democrats see this election as their chance to bring better balance to the party scale in the People’s Chamber. This impact could bleed into the Senate races as well. It is also worth noting that although the House has voted Larry Householder out of the Speaker position, he remains a Representative and will also still appear on the ballot in his district. However, since the news of the criminal charges broke, four individuals have declared candidacies against him. Since the petition deadline had passed by the time of this arrest, all four opponents will be write-in candidates. At a minimum, there will be at least 19 new members of the House and five new members of the Senate.

    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.

    In Victory Speech, Dewine Calls for Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems

    Vol. 132 - No. 466 Tuesday, November 6, 2018 In Victory Speech, DeWine Calls For Ohioans to Unite to Solve Problems The people of Ohio need to work together to address the state's issues regardless of party affiliation, Gov.-elect Mike DeWine said following his victory over Democrat Richard Cordray Tuesday night. "As we begin this journey tonight, we must work not as Democrats, not as Republicans, but as Ohioans," DeWine told supporters at the Ohio Republican Party's election night party in Columbus. "Ohioans should unite around a shared mission to ensure that every single person in this state - every child, no matter where they're born, no matter who their parents are, no matter what their circumstances -- has the opportunity to live up to their God-given potential. ... "As governor, it will be my responsibility, and a responsibility that I take very seriously, to pull people together -- Democrats, Republicans and Independents -- for our common cause, because Ohio's challenges ... are not solvable just by one party," DeWine continued. "Our fundamental beliefs and core values as Ohioans, what we share together truly transcends party politics." DeWine, the current attorney general, ended up winning the governor's race with 50.66 percent of the vote, beating Cordray's 46.44 percent, according to unofficial results. Libertarian Party candidate Travis Irvine finished with 1.79 percent, while Green Party candidate Constance Gadell-Newton received 1.1 percent. DeWine said his next administration will work to improve the state's schools, address drug addiction and create jobs. "Come with us as we make Ohio's schools the best in the nation.

    Mike Dewine & Jon Husted Ohio Supreme Court: Mary Degenaro &Am

    Remember to vote Nov. 6 Ohio Governor & Lt. Governor: Mike DeWine & Jon Husted The DeWine and Husted ticket represents a proven leadership team for our state and overwhelmingly earned OSCPA’s endorsement. Current Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has broad experience, a positive track record of tackling tough issues and a deep understanding of what it takes for Ohio to succeed over the next four years. Current Secretary of State Jon Husted’s strong history of leadership, proven track record of driving economic development – including championing OSCPA-backed tort reform and tax reform efforts as House Speaker - are equally impressive. Both have partnered with OSCPA for years to achieve numerous workable, commonsense solutions impacting CPAs and the broader business community. OSCPA is confident they will drive positive outcomes over the next four years to operate government efficiently and effectively, keep taxes low, and attract, retain and grow employers and the skilled workforce needed for Ohio’s economy to thrive. Attorney General: Dave Yost Auditor of State: Keith Faber OSCPA leaders believe Dave Yost is the Keith Faber’s track record speaks right choice to serve as Ohio’s next Attorney for itself: he is a watchdog for Ohio General. His unique skillset includes not taxpayer dollars and has a strong only service as a prosecuting attorney and and long history of advocating for private-practice lawyer, but also in running efficient, cost-effective and transparent a very large public-sector operation as government operations – a philosophy State Auditor for the past eight years. We that will serve Ohioans well when he know he will continue to provide thoughtful, is Ohio’s next State Auditor and that commonsense leadership by working to protect Ohio businesses easily won him OSCPA’s endorsement.
