Rep. Bill Seitz

Ohio lawmakers say they want to reform the criminal justice system while continuing to introduce bills that enhance penalties and create new offenses.

The controversial bill in the Ohio House that would ban businesses and employers from requiring vaccines is now on hold because it lacks the votes to proceed; Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted say they won’t be attending former President Donald Trump’s rally in Lorain on Saturday; two Republican lawmakers got into a tense confrontation at an upscale Columbus restaurant two weeks ago over the now-historic vote to expel Larry Householder from the Ohio House; and more stories.

Despite losing the title of Speaker of the House in the wake of a scandal related to HB6, Householder maintains a firm grasp on his post as state lawmakers have made no formal attempts to expel him.

One bill would do away with subsidies for two coal plants, and the other would restore the renewable energy standards for Ohio.

The proposed legislation would affect early voting and absentee voting.

The legislation has yet to be introduced at the Statehouse, but opponents say it would affect voter access. The sponsor of the bill disagrees.

The law will go into effect in 90 days. The governor has said it could be challenged in court.
