[Ohio-Talk] Contacting senators

Tue Dec 10 21:27:16 UTC 2024

Suzanne and all.

I wanted to give an update from my end.

I had a follow-up phone conversation with an aide to Sen. Blessing identifying as Garrett. He read the email I sent his office yesterday morning in which I copied you and Richard and will be forwarding it to Sen. Blessing personally. The message requested that he reach out to Mr. Huffman and ask that it be placed on the docket for a vote before the end of the General Assembly in three weeks. 

Garrett told me that the bill has not been assigned to a committee in the Senate, but he believes the Health Committee will take this on, and hopefully it will be passed on to the Full Senate within the next two weeks.

Very Best,

Chris

Per President Payne,

Thank you to everyone for keeping us in the loop.

As the Ohio Legislative Director, this is why I commented that this came from the Clerks desk. It did not sound accurate. Cleveland has not stop calling and emailing. 

We will continue to do this until it reaches the proper desk.

We all must work together and if there is any information provided, site the source, that would be helpful.

Thank you to everyone for stepping up.

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.
