Animal Law News
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.

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.

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.

Voting Equipment Discussion Must Be on Going
January 22, 2016 Voting equipment discussion must be on going We aren’t telling you anything new when we discuss the fact that our voting equipment is aging and we must begin now rather than later to plan for replacement. However, your legislators, who are not expected to be elections experts, may not be aware of the critical nature of this issue. Consequently, we will continue to encourage you to take our message to your legislators to help educate them on the elections process, funding, and administration and to engage them in helping plan for the solution to successfully replace Ohio’s elections equipment. The procurement of new elections equipment is not an overnight process and in order to efficiently and transparently secure high quality voting equipment prior to the presidential election of 2020, we need to begin discussions about this now. Most of the current elections equipment was purchased in 2005 and 2006 using nearly $115 in federal Help America Vote Act money. At the time this equipment was purchased its predicted lifespan was 10-15 years. We are nearing the end of that lifespan. The estimated cost for statewide replacement could be approximately $150 million. CCAO and the Ohio Association of Elections Officials (OAEO) are working to secure an effective state/county partnership to replace voting machines after the 2016 presidential election and prior to the 2020 election. CCAO and OAEO are seeking to replicate the purchasing model used this year for electronic poll books Please discuss these critical points concerning the
