Veto Override Vote on H.B. 68 Wednesday at the Ohio Statehouse

Speaker Stephens has called for the General Assembly to reconvene Wednesday January 10th at the Ohio Statehouse - first session of the new year. The main agenda item is the veto override vote on H.B. 68, the Ohio SAFE Act. Sixty votes are needed. The issue has become a national one, as Republicans in Ohio are in an uproar over Governor DeWine's veto of common sense legislation that protects girls' and women's sports by banning male athletes from competing in girl's and women's sports and bans hormone-blocking drugs for minors and bans life-altering sexual mutilation surgeries of minors at Ohio's hospitals.

Elected officials swatted - Calls to override the veto on H.B. 68 go out

News in Focus launches the new year 2024. State Senator Andy Brenner shares his experience of being swatted last week along with State Attorney General Dave Yost and two other elected officials in an apparent attack from the political left. The swatting occurred on the anniversary date of the signing of legislation that stiffens the penalties in the State of Ohio for those who falsely call law enforcement to weaponize the SWAT teams.
