Ohio Statehouse

The political action committee Save Our Constitution is running ads to pressure lawmakers and Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill) for the resolution requiring 60% voter approval for amendments.

A supermajority of Ohio's bipartisan elections officials voted to formally oppose the plan to allow an August special election to vote on the resolution to require 60% voter approval for future constitutional amendments.

Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill) announced two co-chairs for the account: one who supported him for that leadership role, and another who backed Rep. Derek Merrin (R-Monclova Township) as Ohio House Speaker.

The addition of the word "noncitizen" on Ohio drivers' licenses and state IDs is not the only change now in effect under a new state law.

Some think a lawsuit filed last week, asking the Ohio Supreme Court to take action, could stop the current petitions from being accepted.

Opponents of the “equal parenting” bill, including a Republican former Ohio Supreme Court justice, say it takes the focus off the child and puts it onto parents.

Right now, there are no bills under consideration that would require staffing ratios in medical facilities in Ohio.

A key Republican leader said there's a possibility the 60% voter approval plan could go to a statewide vote in August, three months before an amendment that guarantees reproductive rights could be voted on in November.

The crime survivors say more than two dozen states already have legislation that does that on their books.

The trial of former House Speaker Larry Householder and former Ohio Republican Party Chair Matt Borges showed ways in which powers were abused and oversight was absent.
