Ohio’s government shenanigans offer a continuous fountain of news. We’re curating the headlines each day so you can stay informed.

Bill banning trans athletes added to bill to limit health care for Ohio LGBTQ youth Ohio House committee passes combined measure

A bill that would prevent trans athletes from participating in Ohio women’s sports was woven into a bill that would limit health care for LGBTQ+ youth, and passed the Ohio House Public Health Policy Committee — all in the same meeting.

House Bill 6, dubbed the “Save Women’s Sports Act”, was added to House Bill 68, also known as the Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act (SAFE Act), through a substitute bill that was accepted during Wednesday’s committee meeting.

Congratulations to all the like minded candidates who won Tuesday. Thank you for your dedication to public service and your commitment to our communities.

For those who came up short, thank you for caring deeply about our communities and running for office.
