To amend sections 1315.05 and 1315.18 and to enact sections 1349.57, 1349.571, 1349.572, 1349.573, 1349.574, 1349.575, 1349.576, 1349.577, 1349.578, 1349.579, 1349.5710, 1349.5711, and 1349.5712 of the Revised Code to establish regulations for digital asset kiosks and require they be registered as money transmitters.

To amend sections 5104.015 and 5104.04 and to enact sections 5104.044, 5104.303, 5104.304, and 5104.361 of the Revised Code to require video surveillance of child care centers, to establish an online portal for tracking child care center attendance, to require investigations of waste, fraud, and abuse allegations relating to providers of publicly funded child care, and to name this act the Child Care Fraud Prevention Act.

Maddy summaryHB 658 would create a new "SHELTER" specialty license plate option for Ohio vehicle owners. This plate would be available for purchase as an alternative to standard license plates, adding it to the state's existing specialty plate program under Revised Code section 4503.728. The bill does not specify funding mechanisms or direct beneficiary organizations, focusing solely on establishing the plate design. It is currently in committee review following its introduction on January 27, 2026.

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.

Maddy summaryHB 604 amends specific sections of Ohio's Revised Code (2307.71, 4925.04, and 4925.09) related to transportation network companies (TNCs), such as ride-hailing services (e.g., Uber, Lyft). The bill modifies legal provisions governing TNC operations but the official abstract does not specify the exact nature of these changes. It directly affects TNCs and their drivers operating within Ohio under these revised regulations. The summary is limited by the abstract's lack of detail on the specific policy adjustments made to the referenced code sections.

Maddy summaryHCR 21 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps. It does not create new laws or affect any individuals or policies; its sole purpose is to formally acknowledge this historical milestone. The resolution serves as a symbolic gesture of appreciation for the Marine Corps' service and legacy. As a procedural measure, it has no direct legislative impact beyond commemoration.

To honor the distinguished service and exceptional valor of the men and women of the United States Navy and to commemorate the 250th anniversary of its founding.

To amend sections 3109.051, 3109.11, and 3109.12 of the Revised Code to require a court to order compensatory parenting time or companionship or visitation for failure to comply with, or interference with, an order or decree providing for parenting time or companionship or visitation.

Maddy summaryHB 551 designates a specific intersection in Uhrichsville, Ohio, as the "Dale McCauley Memorial Intersection" under section 5534.971 of the Revised Code. This bill does not create new laws or policies; it is purely a commemorative measure honoring Dale McCauley. The provision affects local signage and official records for that intersection in Tuscarawas County. As a procedural resolution, it has no regulatory impact or direct effect on residents or state operations.
