HB 811: Regards Behavioral Health licensed residential facilities

This bill amends state laws to clarify the definitions and operational requirements for residential facilities licensed by the Department of Behavioral Health. It establishes specific categories for these homes based on the number of residents and the type of care provided, while explicitly excluding hospitals, nursing homes, and other specialized facilities from this regulation. The legislation also details the permitted roles of staff, such as assisting with medication administration and daily living tasks, and outlines the application and inspection processes for obtaining a license. Ultimately, the bill aims to standardize how these facilities are defined and overseen to ensure consistent care standards for adults and children with mental health needs.

HB 816: Exempt service animals from sales and use tax

HB 816 proposes to exempt service dogs and miniature horses from sales and use taxes in Ohio. This change would directly benefit individuals who purchase these animals to assist with disabilities, allowing them to avoid paying the standard tax on such purchases. The bill achieves this by amending state tax code to specifically list these animals as excluded items from the tax definition. Currently, the purchase of service animals is not explicitly exempted, meaning owners must pay the tax unless they qualify for other general exemptions. If passed, the legislation would remove this financial barrier for qualifying service animal owners without altering how taxes are collected on other goods.
