Permitting the use of the Ohio Senate Chamber and hearing rooms by the Western Ohio National Speech and Debate Association on March 15, 2025.
This resolution (SR 18) permits the Western Ohio National Speech and Debate Association to use the Ohio Senate Chamber and hearing rooms for a single event: their Congressional Debate Tournament on March 15, 2025. It authorizes the temporary use of these state legislative facilities for an educational activity simulating legislative debate. The resolution does not create new laws or affect any policies; it solely grants permission for a specific, one-time event. The Ohio Senate Chamber and hearing rooms are being made available for this civic education purpose, contingent on facility availability.
