House Bill 695 - Prohibiting Certain Local Elected Officials from Signing Nondisclosure Agreements
 Representative Bird is a sponsor of House Bill 695 – legislation prohibiting certain local elected officials from entering into nondisclosure agreements.
The bill prohibits village mayors, county commissioners, township trustees, and members of a village council from knowingly entering into a nondisclosure agreement connected to their official duties in Ohio. A "nondisclosure agreement" is defined as an agreement or contract that includes a provision or clause that prohibits these individuals from disclosing, discussing, describing, or commenting on matters related to their official duties.
Under the bill, these specific local officials would be subject to a civil fine of not more than $1,000 if they are in violation of the prohibition, and the attorney general may bring an action to collect the fine.
