Ohio House

Two northeast Ohio lawmakers are teaming up on a bill that would require utility companies to reimburse ratepayers for food and medicine lost in long power outages.

Two Republican state lawmakers have introduced a proposal for an amendment to the Ohio Constitution to cap homeowners' property tax increases at 3% a year.

Two Republican and two Democratic state representatives have sent a letter to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

An Ohio bill would set the ceiling for statewide reimbursements within the foster care system, though it likely faces a tough road this legislative session.

A pair of Democratic state lawmakers want to allow 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in local and legislative elections in Ohio.

Ohio lawmakers passed a last-minute provision in the budget last year that flipped the power of the board away from elected members and to political appointees.

As the end of another session comes quickly, it’s unlikely nursing staffing bills will move before December, when all legislation either goes to Gov. Mike DeWine or dies.

Earlier this year, lawmakers introduced bills establishing stricter government oversight into the powerful and private arm that pursues state economic projects.

The bill was approved overwhelmingly, but even some of those who voted for it raised concerns about the kind of property tax relief it provides to elderly and disabled Ohioans.

Paid family caregivers in Ohio, who could have seen payments eliminated in an earlier version of the bill, are expected to be largely unaffected by the changes.
