Ohio bills pass

During the final hours of Ohio's legislative session, lawmakers passed several significant bills, including the controversial House Bill 8, which mandates parental notification about 'sexuality content' in classrooms and allows students to leave for religious instruction. Other notable legislation includes House Bill 173, requiring transparency in medical pricing, and a measure allowing landowners to kill feral hogs without a license. Additionally, a resolution calling for $2.5 billion in infrastructure spending was approved for voter consideration in May. However, several bills, including attempts to ban certain diversity training in schools and proposed restrictions on ballot drop boxes, failed to advance. The session concluded with discussions about various topics, reflecting a mix of political priorities and public concerns. Governor Mike DeWine is set to review all passed bills for potential signing into law.
