Week 1 Recap: Ohio's "Mini Lame-Duck" Session
From Voices for Change · 22:55
Show by Honesty for Ohio Education
This week, we’re breaking down a rapid period that we're referring to as a "mini lame-duck session" at the Ohio Statehouse as lawmakers race to advance their bills before leaving the Statehouse for an extended summer break on the campaign trail. In this episode, we unpack what key education bill moved last week, discuss what bills are on deck for next week, and explore what it all could mean for Ohio’s public schools, students, and communities. We also dig into the results of Ohio’s May primary election and what those outcomes signal leading into the November election.This is the first in a weekly series tracking legislative action during this stretch of the 136th General Assembly. We’ll be here each week until lawmakers break—then we’ll return after the general election for the full lame-duck session, when even more is on the line.After recording this episode, we received the agenda for the Senate Education Committee hearing where several controversial bills are scheduled. Two bills we strongly oppose, SB 113 and SB 127, both have hearings. Learn more about SB 113 and SB 127 and take action!
