Lawmakers push bills to DeWine after passage
The Ohio legislature sent multiple bills to Governor DeWine after Senate Bill 100 addressing electronic tracking, impaired driving and tobacco laws, and House Bills 308 and 78 covering leases, energy and retirement rules. SB 100 creates limits on tracking devices and adds evidence rules for OVI cases, with penalties up to a decade in some cases. It also tightens tobacco sales penalties and expands public nuisance provisions. HB 315 advances provisions for inmate reentry and employment support, while amendments to HB 237 create a process to curb SLAPP suits and protect First Amendment rights. The measures reflect investigative reporting on tracking devices and aim to protect Ohioans.
