HB 969 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Revise the composition of some local boards of health

HB 969 creates a new District Advisory Council for certain local health districts to oversee the selection of board members and guide health policy. This council is composed of the county commissioner president, municipal chief executives, and township trustee chairpersons, who will appoint health board members while ensuring representation from doctors and nurses. The bill also establishes procedures for holding regular and special meetings, forming an executive committee if needed to make appointments when a full council meeting cannot occur, and outlines how different districts can merge into a single combined district.
