This bill reappropriates unspent funds from the previous fiscal year for the biennium ending June 30, 2028, allowing state agencies to use leftover money for their designated purposes. It specifically directs certain funds toward rural health initiatives, including requirements that at least $30 million be awarded to projects supporting maternity units in rural hospitals and giving preference to independent rural applicants for the Rural Health Transformation Fund. The legislation also allocates money for a comprehensive assessment of financial disbursement systems to identify and prevent fraud, provides additional funding to counties for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and allows for adjustments to Army National Guard renovation projects if additional federal funds become available.
SB 19 requires Ohio public schools to develop and implement specific mathematics improvement and intervention plans for students who are struggling with math. It amends existing law and creates new sections in the Revised Code (3302.131, 3302.132, 3313.6030) to establish these plans. The key mechanism mandates that schools identify students needing math support and create individualized plans to address their specific needs. This directly affects public school students in Ohio who require additional math assistance and the schools responsible for providing that support.
HCR 32 is a non-binding resolution urging the U.S. Congress to adopt zero-based budgeting for federal agencies. It proposes requiring agencies to rebuild their annual budgets from scratch each year - justifying every dollar of funding rather than starting with the previous year’s budget - instead of adding to existing appropriations. This would force agencies to evaluate all programs, rank priorities, and eliminate unnecessary spending to improve fiscal responsibility. The resolution does not change current law but calls on Congress to take action on this budgeting approach. It was introduced in the 2026 legislative session and referred to committee.
