Richardson Supports Priority Legislation set for 135th General Assembly

COLUMBUS – State Representative Tracy Richardson (R-Marysville) enthusiastically announces the upcoming Ohio House priority bills for the 135th General Assembly. United with Republican Caucus members, Speaker Jason Stephens (R-Kitts Hill) participated in a press conference where he said the following:

“I am proud to be here today as we layout our plan of action to deliver to the people of Ohio. The House Republicans are putting forth an agenda all about growing the economy, protecting Ohio families, and educating our communities.”

In light of this announcement Richardson would like to highlight the following key priority bills:

• House Bill 1 - Lower and flatten our taxes to ensure all Ohioans keep more of their hard-earned dollars.
• House Bill 2 - Invest in projects to foster economic growth and community development.
• House Bill 4 - Ensure an open market with diversified investment portfolios. (Anti-ESG)
• House Bill 5 - Make adoption more accessible and affordable for loving Ohio families.
• House Bill 6 - Protect the integrity of girls’ sports and make certain that biological males cannot compete in female-only athletics.
• House Bill 8 - Preserve the fundamental role that parents play in the education of their children. 
• House Bill 10 - Secure commitment for the ‘Fair School Funding Plan’ that is based on the cost of providing a quality education.
• House Bill 11 - Create a child-first model for education, allowing students to have their educational funding follow them to the school that best suits their needs.

“The 135th General Assembly is actively moving forward to adopt meaningful policy for residents of Ohio,” said Richardson. “I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure these priorities are addressed and voted out of the Ohio House of Representatives.”

In addition to the announcement of the House Republicans’ priority bills, an extensive review of the Governor’s proposed operating budget has begun and House Joint Resolution No. 1 was referred to the House Constitutional Resolutions committee for review. H.J.R. No. 1 would amend the Constitution of the State of Ohio to require a vote of at least 60% of the electors to approve any constitutional amendment.
