SB 320 would allow Ohio to join the Athletic Trainer Compact, a multi-state agreement. This bill directly affects athletic trainers seeking licensure in multiple participating states. By enacting specific sections of the Revised Code, it would enable reciprocal licensure, meaning Ohio-licensed athletic trainers could more easily work in other states that are part of the compact without obtaining separate licenses. The key mechanism simplifies the process for athletic trainers to practice across state lines within the compact.
To amend sections 2927.12 and 4112.01 and to enact section 4112.20 of the Revised Code to define antisemitism for the purpose of investigations and proceedings by state agencies and to expand the offense of ethnic intimidation to include the offenses of riot and aggravated riot committed by reason of the race, color, religion, or national origin of another person or group of persons.
HB 57 requires Ohio schools to establish written policies allowing trained staff to administer overdose reversal drugs (like naloxone) during opioid overdose emergencies. It directly affects school staff, administrators, and students by creating clear protocols for emergency response. Key provisions include mandating staff training on drug administration, specifying when and how the drugs may be used, and requiring documentation of each administration. The bill aims to enable swift, life-saving interventions in school settings without requiring individual prescriptions for each incident. These changes apply to all public and private schools operating within Ohio.
To urge Congress to make changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act to allow a person under 16 years of age to be employed between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. during the school year.
To enact section 4113.13 of the Revised Code regarding the creation and display of a poster containing information on benefits and services for veterans.
SB 114 bans law enforcement agencies from setting mandatory targets for arrests or citations. It directly affects police departments and officers who previously may have been required to meet specific numerical goals. The bill creates a new state law section (109.70) making it illegal to use such quotas. This is a direct policy change prohibiting a specific practice, not a broader reform.
