Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits the Ohio General Assembly from holding regular legislative sessions after the general election in even-numbered years. The change aims to limit the timing of regular legislative business while explicitly preserving the governor's and assembly's power to call special sessions when necessary. By restricting only the post-election regular session, the law does not alter the ability of lawmakers to address urgent issues outside the standard legislative calendar.

Upon completion, the department must produce a report with recommendations to improve public awareness and increase access to screenings and genetic testing.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits law enforcement from making civil immigration-related arrests at specific locations such as schools, places of worship, healthcare facilities, and courthouses. The law aims to protect individuals from being detained solely based on their citizenship or immigration status while they are on the premises of these designated sites. However, the provision does not stop arrests if a judge has issued a valid criminal warrant for the person. By restricting where civil immigration arrests can occur, the bill seeks to create safe zones for vulnerable populations and essential community services.
