Maddy summaryThe bill title "Create the escaped convict alert program" is incorrect based on the provided text. This bill (HB 23) actually establishes a framework for appointing security officers at financial institutions and other entities, not an escaped convict alert system. It allows banks, credit unions, railroads, and hospitals to designate personnel as police officers for their premises, subject to Ohio peace officer training requirements and certification. These appointed officers must be Ohio residents of good character, complete approved training within six months, and serve three-year terms. The bill specifically defines "prior parent company" for banks and includes provisions for railroad companies and hospitals meeting certain criteria.

Maddy summaryThis resolution (HR 330) urges Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. It does not create new law but advocates for the SAVE Act’s key requirements: requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, mandating photo ID for all federal elections (in-person and absentee), and directing states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls. The resolution cites concerns about noncitizen voting as justification, emphasizing election security. It was introduced by Ohio representatives in February 2026 and refers the matter to Congress for action.

Maddy summaryThis is a symbolic resolution (not a law) adopted by the Ohio House of Representatives. It formally honors Christina Hart, head coach of Archbishop Alter High School girls basketball team, for being named the 2024-2025 National Girls Basketball Coach of the Year by the National Federation of State High School Associations. The resolution recognizes her five state championships, extensive coaching record, and contributions to student-athletes. It has no legal effect and solely serves to express the House's commendation.

Maddy summaryHB 652 would change Ohio law to require insurers to provide policyholders with specific advance notice before nonrenewing their insurance policies. Currently, the law specifies certain time frames for these notifications; this bill amends Section 3937.26 and adds Section 3937.261 of the Revised Code to update those time frames. The key change is establishing clearer, more defined deadlines that insurers must meet when sending nonrenewal notices to customers. This directly affects Ohio residents who hold insurance policies (such as auto, home, or health insurance) by giving them more predictable notice periods before their coverage ends.
To amend sections 718.01 and 5747.01 and to repeal section 5747.79 of the Revised Code to exempt capital gains from state and municipal income taxation and to name this act the Ohio Capital Gains Tax Repeal Act.
Maddy summaryHB 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.

As a ceremonial resolution, it does not affect laws or regulations.
