HB 432: Regards the teaching of career-technical education

HB 432 updates Ohio's career-technical education laws by strengthening oversight for community schools and clarifying substitute teacher licensing. The bill requires school sponsors to conduct monthly financial and enrollment reviews, report findings to officials, and provide technical assistance to ensure schools follow their contracts and maintain performance standards. It also establishes new rules for substitute teaching licenses, allowing educators with related degrees to teach for unlimited days or those with unrelated degrees to teach for one semester with approval. Additionally, the legislation sets a transition timeline for existing career-technical teachers to adopt new professional or workforce development licenses while permitting them to continue renewing their current credentials until the deadline.

HB 135: Prohibit source of income discrimination in rental housing

HB 135 prohibits landlords and housing providers in Ohio from refusing to rent to tenants based on their lawful source of income, such as government benefits (e.g., SNAP, housing vouchers), retirement pay, or student loans. It directly affects landlords, property managers, and housing authorities by adding "lawful source of income" to the list of protected classes under housing law, alongside existing protections for race, disability, and other characteristics. The bill amends Ohio Revised Code to define "housing accommodations" broadly and explicitly ban discrimination in rental decisions based on how tenants legally earn or receive money. This change aims to prevent housing denial for people using public assistance or alternative income sources.
