[Ohio-Talk] Passage of HB 352 Please read

[Eric Duffy]

Stringers, Please pay attention to the information about Rep. Stewart. Let's see if we can do some education somehow. Maybe a good project for Seocil. Everyone  else, if your Rep is now a co-sponsor, please thank him or her, and now we are on to the Senate. It is worth noting that Representative Also Cutrona changed his mind and supported the bill in the end.

   

The House records show that H.B. 352 was passed out of the House Civil
Justice Committee on November 17, 2021, by a vote of 11 to 2. The two No
votes were Representative Al Cutrona and Representative Brian Stewart.
Rep. Cutrona is a Republican from District 59 which covers most of Mahoning
County. Rep. Stewart is a first-term Republican from District 78 which covers
Hocking and Morgan Counties and portions of Athens, Fairfield, Muskingum,
and Pickaway Counties.
House records also show that HB 352 passed the House on December 8, 2021,
on a 90-1 vote. The sole No vote was Rep.  Stewart. I double-checked and the
voting record shows that Cutrona switched his vote to a Yes vote on the
floor.
