Ohio Statehouse Legislative Update

This week, the Ohio legislative lame duck session has commenced. Following the mid-term elections, House and Senate leadership stated that they would have a limited schedule to finish out the legislative calendar before the end of the 132nd General Assembly. The Ohio Christian Alliance legislative agenda has been to move pro-life, pro-family, religious liberty legislation, specifically the Heartbeat Bill, The Ohio Pastor Protection Act, and HCR 10, the resolution that supports the State of Israel and speaks out against anti-semitism growing on Ohio college campuses. 

Today, H.B. 258, Ohio's Heartbeat Bill, passed the Ohio House in a 60-35 vote. The measure will now move to the Ohio Senate for consideration. Time is short, as the legislative session ends by midnight on December 31st. 

HCR 10, the resolution that supports the State of Israel and speaks out against anti-semitism that has been growing on Ohio college campuses, passed the Ohio House last spring and has passed the Senate Transportation Committee. It is awaiting a Senate floor vote. Your calls are needed to your state senator, urging him/her to support HCR 10, the resolution that supports the State of Israel and speaks out against the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against the State of Israel, our chief ally in the Middle East. 

Ohio Pastor Protection Act, H.B. 36, passed the Ohio House last June and has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Senator Kevin Bacon.  Call his office and urge the Senator to start hearings next week.
