HB 412: Allow village to contract with county prosecutor

HB 412 allows Ohio villages to contract directly with their county prosecutor for legal services instead of maintaining their own legal staff. This directly affects villages seeking cost-effective legal representation and county prosecutors offering those services. The bill amends Revised Code sections 309.09 and 733.48 to establish a formal process for these contracts. The change provides villages with a practical option to access legal expertise through existing county resources.

SB 203: Require political subdivisions to adopt a cybersecurity program

SB 203 requires local governments (like cities, counties, and school districts) to adopt formal cybersecurity programs to protect their digital systems. The bill mandates these "political subdivisions" to create and maintain written plans addressing risks, such as securing data and preventing cyberattacks. Key provisions include establishing policies for incident response, employee training, and regular security assessments. This directly affects all local government entities by imposing specific, concrete requirements for safeguarding public information systems.
