  • April 2021 Monthly Legislative Update
    Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission Monthly Legislative Update April 2021 Joseph Garrity Director of Government Affairs + Strategic Initiatives (614) 233-4127 [email protected] What’s Happening Governor Signs Transportation Budget Gov. Mike DeWine signed the more than $8 billion transportation budget bill last week. The governor highlighted $318 million included for highway safety projects, $2.4 billion for local roadway improvements and $8 million for electric vehicle charging station grants. Speaker Bob Cupp (R-Lima) called passage of the bill “a good day for the state of Ohio and people of Ohio,” adding that it was passed on time, within the available revenue, “and without a contentious conference committee.” The House action came one day after the Ohio Senate adopted an omnibus amendment to the bill and passed it on the floor in a 32-0 vote. The bill funds construction and maintenance of the state’s roadways and bridges, in addition to appropriating $70 million per year for public transit through a combination of General Revenue Fund and federal flex funds. However, Governor DeWine’s “Hands-Free Ohio” proposal to increase penalties for distracted driving was removed by the General Assembly upon final passage of the bill. This proposal may be brought forward as a standalone bill later this session. Transportation budgets generally must be passed by the end of March so the non-appropriations sections can become effective 90 days later, by July 1, the start of the new fiscal year.

  • Health Education Standards the Ohio Legislature Is
    Support Senate Bill 121: Health Education Standards The Ohio legislature is currently considering Senate Bill 121, which would benefit students in Ohio. Specifically, the bill would allow the Ohio Department of Education to adopt health education standards. Local Matters strongly supports the implementation of health education standards in Ohio, as it lays an important foundation for nutrition education, among other health topics. The bill has bipartisan support and a diverse group of cosponsors. Notably, Senator Peggy Lehner, Chair of the Education Committee, where the bill is currently being heard, is a cosponsor of this important legislation. If you would like to show your support for Senate Bill 121, please contact the elected officials who sit on the Senate Education Committee (see below). If you have any questions about health education standards or the bill, please contact Noreen Warnock, Local Matters Co-founder and Director of Advocacy and Community: [email protected] or 614-263-5662. Key Talking Points: 1) Ohio is the only state in the country without health education standards for K-12 students. 2) Ohio currently faces a public health crisis. Over 33% of children in Ohio have enough excess weight to put them at risk of developing early onset diet-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease.1 3) Senate Bill 121 will help ensure students learn necessary skills to make healthy life choices, such as selecting healthy foods and engaging in physical activity. 4) The cost of healthcare in Ohio required to treat diet-related disease is estimated at $6.36 billion dollars.2 Children’s health complications will only increase economic and workforce burden as the generation ages.

  • 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.

  • December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK
    December 12, 2016 131ST GENERAL ASSEMBLY ENDS LAME DUCK SESSION WITH SEVERAL MUNICIPAL ISSUES ADDRESSED The lame duck session ended Friday morning at about 3:30 am and as the dust settled, we’re proud to report that Ohio municipalities were able to claim a number of victories, a few draws, and only a limited number of losses. Now, we immediately turn our agenda to the next General Assembly, with the release of our first broad based policy report tomorrow. We would like to express our gratitude toward the many members of the General Assembly who worked with us on these many issues. Many members worked with us late into the night many times and worked hard to consider our concerns. Below, we review the legislation that effected municipalities in the final days of the session. Each of the following bills has been sent to Governor Kasich for his consideration. First, is Senate Bill 331, introduced by Senator Bob Peterson (R-Washington Court House). The original bill would regulate the sale of dogs from pet stores and dog retailers and to require the Director of Agriculture to license pet stores. This bill was introduced to create a statewide regulatory framework for pet breeding. The OML opposed this portion of the bill as an infringement on Home Rule and “single issue rule” problems which is the part of the Ohio Constitution that prohibits the legislature from passing bills with multiple subjects.
