Ohio Senate Adjourns Without Overriding Gov. DeWine s Veto Of Controversial Bill
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Statehouse News Bureau) The Ohio Senate adjourned without overriding Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a bill that restricted his ability to issue health orders to shut down businesses.
Senate President Larry Obhof says his members have been working out differences with DeWine, his fellow Republican. And Obhof says another bill (Sub HB609) the Senate passed late last night does include language that health orders must apply equally to all businesses.
“So that you can’t have the situation we had last spring where small businesses get closed but larger ones because they are deemed essential get to stay open,” Obhof says.
