House Bill Would Allow Collins To Remain In Assembly
A Columbus bill passed the House 73 to 12 to allow Sen. Oakley Collins of Ironton to continue serving while employed by schools. The measure, backed by Rep. Arthur Wilkowski, would lift the current ban on school employes serving in the General Assembly. Collins has worked as a school consultant since February and expects to become superintendent this fall. Wilkowski highlighted other government figures holding multiple roles while noting this is the Oakley Collins bill. The state law currently exempts teachers and college employes but not other school staff.
