Both chambers of the Ohio General Assembly are on spring break, having recessed the weeks of 4/14 and 4/21. Without sessions or committees, legislative activity on Capital Square will slow significantly before picking up again the week of 4/28. When the General Assembly returns the last week of April, the Senate will formally begin budget deliberations and public testimony opportunities will resume.
