COLUMBUS, Ohio — State Rep. Haraz N. Ghanbari (R-Perrysburg) released the following statement Wednesday regarding the Ohio House voting to override Governor DeWine’s veto of Substitute House Bill 68:

“Today, I proudly voted to override the Governor’s veto of Substitute House Bill 68,” Ghanbari said.  “I previously voted for the SAFE Act and Save Women’s Sports Act in June, supported it in December, and once again took a stand to protect our children and to also ensure that females can compete on a level playing field, not against biological males.  I am looking forward to the Senate following the House’s lead.”

The veto override now heads to the Ohio Senate for consideration.

COLUMBUS, OH – State Rep. Melanie Miller (R-City of Ashland) has issued the following statement on the Ohio House of Representatives voting to override Governor DeWine’s veto of House Bill 68, the SAFE Act and the Save Women’s Sports Act:

“This is a vote to protect women and children.  We must protect our children from making life altering decisions at such an early age – decisions that they will never be able to reverse.  Moms and dads always need to be a part of these critical decisions,” said Miller. “When it comes to women’s athletics, this vote ensures that females can compete on a level playing field, and not against biological males.”  

The veto override now heads to the Ohio Senate for consideration.

Gail Pavliga (R-Portage County) issued the following statement regarding the Ohio House of Representatives vote to override the veto of Governor Mike DeWine of House Bill 68, a combination of the Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act (SAFE) and the Save Women’s Sports Act:

“Today, I voted to empower parents, protect children, and maintain the integrity of women’s sports in Ohio,” said Pavliga.  “By voting with my colleagues in the House to override the Governor’s veto of House Bill 68, we are sending a clear message that these are fundamental priorities for us, and hope that the Senate will join us in doing so.”  

The veto override of the SAFE Act will now be considered by the Ohio Senate.
