The Ohio General Assembly is in a final push to pass numerous bills before their current two-year session concludes. Key topics include pay raises for state employees and officials, changes to school policies regarding gender identity and religious instruction, expanded suspension grounds for students, and limitations on court-ordered driver's license suspensions.
The Ohio General Assembly is preparing to end its current two-year session this week with a flurry of bills. While there aren't any major, highly debated issues left, numerous bills could significantly impact Ohio ans. One key bill addresses pay raises for state employees, judges, and local officials, potentially increasing salaries by 21% over four years, followed by annual cost-of-living adjustments.
Another focuses on education, mandating school officials to inform parents if their child requests a different gender identity and allowing schools to release students for religious instruction upon parental request. A third bill would broaden the grounds for school suspensions, including for threatening manifestos, social media posts, or hit lists. Additionally, the legislature is considering a measure that would significantly restrict courts' power to suspend driver's licenses for drug offenses or unpaid legal debts
