Ohio lawmakers could vote on giving themselves a pay raise. That's just one controversial item being considered during this Lame Duck.
Description
As the Lame Duck session in Ohio continues, several big bills are on the table, including HB 8. That's the Ohio Parents Bill of Rights, something opponents refer to as the Buckeye State's version of the "Don't Say Gay" bill. There's a controversial provision attached to it that requires K-12 school districts to adopt policies for Lifewise and other religious-based groups that want to take kids off campus during the school day, with a parent's permission. Lawmakers are also considering a measure that could delay citizens who want to bring statewide issues to the ballot by giving the attorney general more power to determine the titles of petition summaries. Ohio Statehouse Scoop Host Jo Ingles has more on those provisions. Plus Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson discuss many other bills that could pass the Ohio Legislature this week.
