Representative Adam C. Miller - District 17

With Ohio’s new no duty to retreat law set to take effect Tuesday, Democratic Reps. Adam C. Miller (D-Columbus) and Thomas West (D-Canton) today renewed their call to Statehouse leaders to pass House Bill (HB) 38, their legislation to repeal Ohio’s new “shoot first” law, which passed in December 2020.

COLUMBUS— Today, Rep. Adam Miller (D-Columbus) introduced legislation that would provide legal protections for Guardians ad litem (GAL) and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).  These are advocates appointed by a judge to determine what is in the best interest of a party, usually minors or adults subject to guardianship, who does not have an attorney of their own. Currently, these advocates are not afforded the same protections as officers of the court like judges and attorneys.

Today, Rep. Adam Miller (D-Columbus) signed on as a co-sponsor to the Ohio Fairness Act, bipartisan legislation that would protect LGBTQ+ Ohioans from discrimination in employment, housing and accommodations. A previous version of the Ohio Fairness Act (The Equal Housing and Employment Act) passed the Ohio House of Representatives on Sept. 15, 2009, with bipartisan support. Last General Assembly, the Ohio Fairness Act had 3 hearings but did not receive a committee vote.

COLUMBUS— State Rep. Adam C. Miller (D-Columbus) today applauded the Ohio House passage of House Bill (HB) 29, his bipartisan bill to authorize county recorders to establish a veterans' identification card program to individuals who have served with the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), or the U.S. Space Force (USSF).
