What to say:

As a member of the Senate Rules and Reference Committee, I am contacting you
in regards to HB 309. The National Federation of the Blind of Ohio is in
full support of this bill. This piece of legislation would prohibit a
person's blindness from being used to deny or limit custody, parenting time,
visitation, adoption, guardianship, or foster caregiver regarding a minor.
Again, we are in support of this legislation, it should be noted that H.B
309 has not faced any opposition during the legislative process. Please
support HB 309, and schedule it for vote before the full Senate on
Wednesday, December 19, 2018.

Best Regards,

Sheri Albers, Vice President

National Federation of the Blind of Ohio
