State budget activity
Despite growing concern from Gov. Mike DeWine, a compromise on the two-year state budget has not yet been reached by House Speaker Larry Householder (R-Glenford) and Senate President Larry Obhof (R-Medina). If a deal is not agreed to by Wednesday, July 17, legislators will be forced to pass another temporary funding extension. Both the House and Senate have “if-needed” sessions scheduled on July 17.
News reports indicate that Householder and Obhof have agreed that the budget will declare a moratorium on the establishment of new academic distress commissions and address the future of that issue in a stand-alone bill.
