The Ohio constitution declares all state laws must have a single subject. But sometimes legislators stretch that boundary. And trial attorneys for workers injured on the job are contending in this case, lawmakers went over that line. The lawyers note as legislators in the spring were putting final touches on a new law, tweaking the two year state budget mid-term, at the last minute they added changes impacting worker compensation payments to injured workers. This one says if amputees want their money in one lump sum, instead of it being doled out for years, the lump sum can be reduced. Lawyers for the amputees insist that provision violates the single subject rule and if legislators want to enact it, they should have to consider that change in a separate bill with the usual committee hearings and public input.
