The Ohio Legislature has passed a bill to limit states of emergency and health orders issued by the governor.
Supporters say the change would allow for more accountability between the executive and legislative branch.
The bill allows lawmakers to revoke states of emergency and health orders. Republicans, such as Representative Scott Wiggam, says this allows the legislature to represent their constituents when controversial decisions are made, such as last year s Stay-At-Home order.
If you believe in checks and balances and transparency this bill is for you. This bill is about empowering people, it s empowering parents, empowering small businesses, empowering Ohioans. It s about ensuring that they have a voice in their futures.
