House Bill 772: The Rural Hospital Transformation Oversight Bill
In March, I joined Representative Tim Barhorst as a joint sponsor of HB 772: The Rural Hospital Transformation Oversight Bill.
If enacted, this legislation would do the following:
- Task the Ohio Department of Health to include transparent reporting requirements for how the department spends the awarded dollars
- Ensure the funding awarded to hospitals stays in rural communities
- Prioritize rural maternity centers as a primary collaborative service
- Establish a legislative task force on rural health to monitor the implementation of the Rural Health Transformation Oversight Program (Currently in the House Finance Committee, awaiting its first hearing)
 Additionally, I also played in the annual vintage baseball game on the Statehouse lawn. What a fun tradition for legislators to play against the Muffins!

 Also in June, we passed House Bill 603, legislation to Prohibit Certain Clauses from Conservancy Districts Contracts. I sponsored this important legislation that is designed to reduce administrative burdens and legal risks for conservancy districts. It protects public entities from open-ended liability by prohibiting indemnification clauses that could expose public funds or officials to unlimited financial responsibility. It also shields public officials from personal liability, ensuring that they are not held accountable for contracts containing prohibited indemnification terms. Additionally, the legislation ensures that conservancy districts are not forced into unfair or unlawful contract terms by large vendors, like VRBO or Airbnb, which sometimes refuse to negotiate terms.
Rep. Adam Mathews and I are joint sponsors for H.C.R. 47, Urge U.S. EPA Review Certain Energy Security, Oil and Gas Rules. This has been referred to the House Natural Resources Committee and awaits its first hearing.
Joint Agriculture Committee Meeting
 As a member of the Ohio House Agricultural Committee, I attended the Annual Joint Senate-House Agricultural Committee Hearing at the Ohio State Fair in August, where we celebrated Ohio’s achievements in 4-H Teen Leadership, FFA, Ohio Fair Queens, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, and the USDA.
 I joined the family of Harrison County native Staff Sergeant Melvin Trushel, Sr., to celebrate the Governor’s signing of HB 384, to memorialize a roadway in honor of his dedication to our country. Governor DeWine additionally signed HB 385 for the PFC “Tommy” Pizzino Memorial Highway of Harrison County.
I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to serve as your State Representative for District 95. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office - we're always here to help.
