COLUMBUS—Following the Ohio Senate’s adoption of Substitute House Bill 49 in Finance Committee this afternoon, Ohio House Speaker Clifford A. Rosenberger (R-Clarksville) released the following statement:

“I appreciate the work that President Obhof, Chairman Oelslager and the entire Senate Finance Committee put into the latest version of the budget over the past several weeks. Today marks another major step in the ongoing state budget process, and I am eager to review their proposal in greater detail in the coming days.

“There is still a lot of work to do as we head down the home stretch toward the end of June, and I look forward to working in collaboration with my colleagues in the House and Senate during the conference committee as we continue to focus on passing a balanced and fiscally responsible budget.”
