HB 368: Require eviction records to be sealed after three years

HB 368 requires eviction records to be automatically sealed (removed from public access) after three years. This directly affects tenants who have faced eviction proceedings, as it limits how long such records remain visible to landlords, employers, or others conducting background checks. The bill creates a specific process under Ohio law (section 1923.111) to ensure records are sealed without requiring tenants to take additional action. This policy change aims to provide individuals with a clearer path to housing stability by reducing long-term barriers from past eviction history.

HB 410: Prohibit Medicaid funds for certain abortion providers

HB 410 prohibits Medicaid from paying for abortion services provided by specific abortion clinics or providers. This bill directly affects low-income Medicaid recipients who seek abortions at those designated facilities and the providers who would lose Medicaid reimbursement for such services. The key provision, added as section 5162.09 of the Revised Code, bans Medicaid funds from being paid to providers meeting certain criteria. As a result, abortions performed at these providers would no longer be covered by Medicaid, requiring patients to pay the full cost out-of-pocket or seek care elsewhere.

HB 371: Make elected officials mandatory child abuse, neglect reporters

HB 371 amends Ohio law to require elected officials - including mayors, city council members, county commissioners, and state legislators - to report suspected child abuse or neglect, just like teachers and healthcare workers. This change directly affects all current and future elected officials in Ohio who may encounter situations involving child welfare. The bill updates existing mandatory reporter provisions to include these public officeholders, requiring them to immediately notify child protective services upon reasonable suspicion of abuse or neglect. This policy change expands the group of individuals legally obligated to report such concerns under Ohio Revised Code Section 2151.421.
