    March 31, 2017 Big step forward for permissive county authority to levy additional $5 motor vehicle license fee Thank you to CCAO members & partners for your awesome advocacy efforts! Thanks to the General Assembly approving the Transportation Budget Conference Committee Report, counties are a BIG step closer to being able to levy an additional $5 motor vehicle license fee to fund local road and bridge infrastructure. The Conference Committee, tasked with ironing out the differences between the Ohio House and Senate, on Monday picked the House-passed provision that gave a board of county commissioners or county council the permissive authority to pass a resolution enacting the fee, though subject to voter referendum. County commissioners, county executives and county council members along with their staff and CCAO’s policy team worked with a coalition of advocates, including the County Engineers Association of Ohio (CEAO), regional planning agencies and several business organizations, to support the proposed additional $5 motor vehicle license tag fee, which hasn’t been adjusted since 1987. Thank you to CCAO’s members and our partners for your advocacy efforts that made an enormous difference! Several elected officials along with county staff provided testimony and attended statehouse hearings. Moreover, many contacted lawmakers expressing support for a board of commissioners and council members to exercise funding decisions, subject to referendum, that reflect the needs of their counties. The measure is before the Governor for his consideration and is expected to take action on the bill soon. Details on other provisions in the bill and the Governor’s action will be reported in next week’s CCAO Statehouse Report.

    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.
