Senate Bill 83

The Senate bill that conservatives say would stem what they see as liberal bias at Ohio’s public universities won’t come to the House floor, according to Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill).

At the end of some years, lawmaking stretches into the early morning hours as legislators race to get bills to the finish line—the governor’s desk—before their terms end.

Although Senate Bill 83 is a top priority for Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman (R-Lima), the bill has been stuck on the House side for nearly six months.

Republican Senator Jerry Cirino said he introduced the bill because he thinks liberal bias in Ohio's public universities is out of hand.
