Senate Passes Initiated Bill to Create Five‑Member Health Council
The Ohio Senate approved an initiated measure to abolish the State Board of Health and replace it with a five‑member Health Council appointed by the governor. The council would hold no executive powers. the health commissioner would oversee administration. Twenty‑eight senators voted yes. A separate proposal seeks an audit and appropriation of 20000 for state work. An eastern Ohio normal school dispute prompted a joint resolution to consider a Willis commission report with a special session to be convened if needed. Governor refused approval on that item.
