Maddy summaryHB 263 proposes to limit the out-of-pocket costs for individuals needing essential diabetes treatments. The bill specifically aims to cap cost-sharing for prescription insulin drugs, diabetes devices, and devices used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.

To amend sections 323.152, 323.153, and 323.156 of the Revised Code to authorize a temporary property tax credit for certain continuously owned homesteads.

To amend sections 1751.62, 3923.52, 3923.53, 5162.20, and 5164.08 of the Revised Code to revise the law governing insurance and Medicaid coverage of breast cancer screenings and examinations and to name this act the Breast Examination and Screening Transformation Act, or BEST Act.

Maddy summaryHB 262 proposes to designate the weeks between Mother's Day and Father's Day as "Natural Family Month." This bill would establish this commemorative period by enacting a new section in the Revised Code.

Maddy summaryHB 265 aims to regulate companies that resell public utility services. The bill directly affects these resellers by classifying them as public utilities under state law.

It achieves this by amending sections 4905.02 and 4905.03 of the Revised Code.

To amend sections 1343.01, 1343.03, 1349.01, 2716.02, 2716.03, and 4712.01 and to enact section 1349.54 of the Revised Code to limit the rate of interest on medical debt, to prohibit reporting medical debt to a consumer reporting agency, and to name this act the Ohio Medical Debt Fairness Act.
