Rep. Kevin Miller

Maddy summaryHB 378 creates a special "Blue Knights L.E.M.C." license plate option for Ohio vehicle owners. This procedural bill establishes the plate design under Ohio Revised Code, allowing drivers to purchase it as an alternative to standard plates. The revenue generated from plate sales typically supports the designated organization (Blue Knights L.E.M.C.), though the bill itself does not specify funding details. It directly affects Ohio residents who choose to adopt this plate for their vehicles.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates Interstate 75 in Butler County as the "Patrolman Earnest E. Cole Memorial Highway" in honor of a patrolman. The legislation adds a new section to the Revised Code to officially name the highway and authorizes the director of transportation to place markers along the route indicating its new name. The bill directly affects the transportation department and drivers traveling on Interstate 75 in Butler County. It is a commemorative measure that does not change traffic laws or funding but establishes a permanent memorial designation for the roadway.

Maddy summaryHB 102 prohibits sex offenders and child-victim offenders from residing within 2,000 feet of a victim’s home or loitering within 1,000 feet of that home.
