HB 627: Allow county commissioners to disapprove scenic river designation

HB 627 allows county commissioners to formally veto scenic river designations for waterways designated on or after November 2024. If a county board passes a resolution disapproving the designation within 45 days of public notice (after the director publishes the proposal), the director must terminate the scenic river status. This change specifically applies to scenic rivers, not wild or recreational rivers, and does not affect private property rights or existing regulatory authority. The bill adds a county-level approval step to the existing process where the director proposes river designations and seeks public input.
Topics ✗ EnvironmentOpposes EnvironmentAllows counties to veto scenic river designations, weakening environmental protections by enabling local disapproval of river conservation efforts under Environment/Natural Resources.85% confidence

HB 634: Regards eligibility to participate in interscholastic athletics

HB 634 modifies Ohio's rules for student athletic eligibility, primarily affecting transfer students in high school sports. It prohibits athletic organizations from restricting a transfer student's participation solely because they transferred, allowing immediate eligibility unless they have a prior athletic disciplinary action (like a suspension for violating sports rules). For students with such prior actions, school districts must issue a written eligibility decision within 10 business days; failure to do so automatically grants immediate eligibility. The bill maintains existing academic, safety, and participation rules but ensures transfer students aren't penalized for their transfer status alone.

HB 605: Codify the Spearin doctrine in public construction contracts

It establishes a clear legal standard to shift liability for issues caused by faulty government-provided plans.
