March 22, 2018 The Honorable Rodney Frelinghuysen The Honorable Nita M. Lowey Chairman, Appropriations Committee Ranking Member, Appropriations Committee U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives 2306 Rayburn House Office Building 2365 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515-3011 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Ken Calvert The Honorable Betty McCollum Chairman, Subcommittee on Interior, Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Environment, and Related Agencies U.S. House Appropriations Committee U.S. House Appropriations Committee 2205 Rayburn House Office Building 2256 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairmen Frelinghuysen and Calvert and Ranking Members Lowey and McCollum, As members of the Great Lakes Legislative Caucus (GLLC), we are writing to express our strong support for the federal Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). The GLLC is the only nonpartisan, binational organization of state and provincial legislators from the eight states and two Canadian provinces that share the Great Lakes: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Québec, and Wisconsin. As legislators from the Great Lakes states, we know firsthand the ecological and economic significance of the Great Lakes to our region and our nation. The lakes contain 84 percent of the surface fresh water in North America and provide drinking water to nearly 40 million people in the U.S. and Canada. Over 1.5 million jobs are directly connected to the lakes, generating an estimated $62 billion annually in wages in industries such as manufacturing, tourism, and shipping. Our Great Lakes are both a natural wonder and an economic engine that deserve our unwavering support. -

Legislative/Systems Improvement Committee February 17, 2021 10:00 a.m. Meeting Summary In attendance on the Zoom conference: Tony Podojil, Jessica Voltolini, and members from 30 school districts. Tony Podojil convened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. The primary focus of the meeting was to update the committee on the Biennial Budget and legislative updates. I. Legislative Update. A. House/Senate Leadership and Committee Assignments: Committee appointments have been made with Gayle Manning as the Chair of the House Education Committee. Former Superintendent from Clermont County, Adam Bird, is the Vice Chair of the Committee. Sarah Fowler Arthur, former State Board Member, is also on the committee. Finance Committee appointments had no major changes with Scott Oelslager remaining the Chair. Finance Subcommittee on Primary and Secondary Education now has Tracy Richardson as Chair. Daniel Troy, Brian Baldridge, Jamie Callender, and Bride Rose Sweeney are the other members of this group. B. FY22/FY23 Biennial Budget The Governor introduced the budget on February 1st starting with fiscal portion of the budget called the blue book. The policy language associated with the budget bill was released late on Thursday last week. One of the new policy requirements from the Governor is the addition of a computer science requirement at the high school level. The Governor would like a statewide plan for Computer science education that would provide all students with access to the course. Jessica will send a summary of the requirements for the computer science proposal. The other provisions include a P-Tech Program and the creation of a partnership with K-12, Community Colleges, and business employers in creating a 6-year high school/associate degree in the STEM field. -
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.

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.
