Ohio Legislature: A Senate’s Session This Week
The legislature remains on a light schedule ahead of Ohio’s March primary election (see more on this below), as this week the Ohio Senate held a single full voting session, while the Ohio House did not have a meeting.
The Senate’s agenda for the day focused on issues related to higher education, capital funding, transportation issues, payment processes for guns, campaign contributions, the US Space Force, workers compensation, and school curriculum.
Physician organizations are working behind the scenes on issues related to prior authorization, medication switching, and other health policy issues in anticipation of potential opportunities later in the year for more focused legislative considerations.
