“These various task forces will provide us the opportunity to dive deeper into subject matters that affect Ohioans all across the state,” Speaker Rosenberger said. “Each of them will work to find solutions to some of Ohio’s most pressing issues and will collaborate with experts and interested parties to increase our understanding of these topics in order to forge a productive pathway forward.”

Notices and full task force memberships will be released by chairs at a later date. Task forces will begin holding interested party meetings beginning in April or May.
