[Ohio-Talk] Contacting senators

[Eric Duffy]

I replied to this message yesterday, but after receiving to calls inquiring about whether the Bill is really on the way to the Governor's desk I must dive a little deeper. So here is your Ohio Civics lesson for the day. In this state we have a Bicameral Legislature. This means we have both a House and Senate. Thus   legislation must be passed by both chambers before reaching the Governor's desk. HB 382 has not yet passed the Ohio Senate. Do we still have a chance for it to pass? Yes! But we must get those calls and Emails out.

Good Morning,

 

Per the Senate Clerk Office, HB382 has passed the house and on its way to
the Governor's desk. There is no Senate Bill at this time.

I have just left a detailed message for Senator Nathan Manning about H.B.382
urging him to contact the Senate President and support accessible
prescription labels for medications. I will urge this further if and when he
calls me back. Do we have a bill number in the Senate, or is H.B. 382 the
only way to refer to this bill?

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
